Fig. 1. Nestin-Cre mediated conditional disruption of aPKC
gene. (A) Activity of ß-galactosidase in
Nestin-Cre;Rosa26R embryo on a sagittal section at E15.5 is detected
by X-gal staining to show tissue specificity of Cre-recombinase activity. Cre
activity is relatively low in the caudal neocortical region (arrowhead
indicates caudal and rostral boundary). (B) Proteins extracted from the
telencephalon at E13.5 and E15.5 were analyzed by western blotting using an
aPKC
-specific antibody (upper panel) or antibody recognizing all three
aPKC members: aPKC
, aPKC
and PKM
(middle panel). Positions
of aPKC
(70 kDa), aPKC
(70 kDa) and PKM
(55 kDa) are
indicated by arrowheads. Signals detected with ß-actin antibody served as
internal controls for equal protein loading (lower panel). Te, telencephalon;
Di, diencephalon; Me, mesencephalon; Mt, metencephalon; My, myelencephalon;
Sc, spinal cord; nc, neocortical region; ge, ganglionic eminence. Scale bar: 1
mm.
