Effect of RLC-D,D–GFP, 50 μM blebbistatin, and 5 μM nocodazole on proto-bundle formation in cells spreading on fibronectin or attached to PLL

Condition Fibronectin (10 min) PLL 
Control (wild-type RLC) 48 ± 1 52 ± 10 
RLC-D,D 60 ± 7a 73 ± 12a 
Blebbistatin 1.5 ± 0.5 1 ± 2 
Nocodazole 41 ± 8 59 ± 5 
Condition Fibronectin (10 min) PLL 
Control (wild-type RLC) 48 ± 1 52 ± 10 
RLC-D,D 60 ± 7a 73 ± 12a 
Blebbistatin 1.5 ± 0.5 1 ± 2 
Nocodazole 41 ± 8 59 ± 5 

Data represent the percentage of cells displaying an F-actin–enriched proto-bundle, and are expressed as mean ± SD of three experiments. >200 cells were scored in each experiment.
