- FIGURE 3: CRISPR-mediated knockout of TOCA-1 does not alter levels or localization of tight or adherens junction proteins. (A) Sequencing of PCR products amplified from genomic MDCK cell DNA in a region around the site of the putative CRISPR-mediated showed knockout cells had a 5-base pair deletion upstream of the PAM site (red GG) relative to wild-type DNA, resulting in a frameshift in the coding sequence and a premature stop codon at amino acid 36. (B) Comparison of expression by immunofluorescence analysis demonstrates that ZO-1 signal is identical in control and knockout cells (left and right). Junctional TOCA-1 staining is evident only in control cells, although the polyclonal TOCA-1 antibody generates some background signal in knockout cells (middle). (C) Enlargement of control ZO-1 and TOCA-1 staining reveals strong junctional colocalization (yellow signal). (D) E-cadherin (Ecad) localization is similar in control (top) and knockout cell lines (bottom). (E) In contrast to clear colocalization of TOCA-1 with ZO-1, enlargement of merge image between E-cadherin and TOCA-1 reveals that most E-cadherin is distributed along the lateral membrane, with little of the yellow signal suggestive of colocalization that is evident in C. Immunoblot (F) and immunofluorescence (G) analyses used to compare expression and localization of TOCA-1 and tight junction proteins in control and TOCA-1-knockout cell lines.

- FIGURE 1: ZO-1 and -2 are effectively depleted in stable MDCK II Tet-Off cell lines. (A) Western blot of ZO-1, -2, and -3 polypeptides in control, dKD (lines 1-3), and in dKD cells expressing a Tet-inducible full-length ZO-1 rescue transgene (ZO1R). ZO-1 expression in dKD lines is ~2-3% of that observed in control cells, while ZO-2 expression is almost undetectable. Note that ZO-3, while not directly targeted in dKD cells, is also reduced by up to 50%. In ZO1R cell lines, induction of ZO1R (I) restores ZO-1 and ZO-3 expression to levels equivalent to those in control cells, while ZO-2 expression remains suppressed. U, uninduced; I, induced. (B) Immunocytochemistry of ZO-1, -2, and -3 in the control and dKD-3 cell line. There is a dramatic reduction in the staining of all three peptides at the AJC, and the outline of the AJC is much more trapezoidal in dKD cells relative to control cells. All images are 1-mum-thick, maximum-density projections of the AJC. Scale bar: 10 mum.
