Coronin and actin regulatory factors are partitioned to the base of the bud during fission. (A) Representative images of COS-7 cells transfected with GFP-Rab7 (LE, magenta) and mCh-FAM21 (WASH complex, green). Magnified inset (5 × 5 μm) below shows time lapse of a representative fission event. Note: FAM21 signal localizes along entire length of bud, and signal is present on the post-fission bud. Block arrowhead indicates the bud neck, and line arrowhead indicates departing bud (Video 1). (B) Line scan analysis along the length of endosome bud in pre-fission frame from A shows FAM21 signal labels the length of the bud. Lines are shown in A adjacent to actual area measured so as not to obscure ROI. (C) Fission events as in A were scored for FAM21 enrichment at the bud neck in the pre-fission, fission, and post-fission frames. For post-fission frames, both the bud neck and departed bud were scored for positive FAM21 signal. Table shows data as percentage of fission events with enrichment at each stage (n = 37 fission events in 16 cells, performed in triplicate). Model indicates where enrichment was assessed at each stage of fission. (D–F) As in A–C, for COS-7 cells transfected with mCh-Rab7 (LE, magenta) and ARP3-mEm (ARP2/3 complex, green). Secondary inset shows departed bud that moved out of primary inset. In F, n = 24 fission events in 11 cells, performed in triplicate (Video 2). (G–I) As in A–C, for COS-7 cells transfected with mCh-Rab7 (LE, magenta) and α-actin-mNG (actin structure, green). For I, n = 19 fission events in 14 cells, performed in triplicate (Video 3). (J–L) As in A–C, for COS-7 cells transfected with GFP-Rab7 (LE, magenta) and COR1C Halo (green). For L, n = 36 fission events in 21 cells, performed in triplicate. Scale bars for whole cell = 5 μm; insets = 1 μm (Video 4). (M) Summary diagram of how actin recruitment and regulatory factors divide during fission.
