This is one of six images in Figure 6 in Apaja et al., JCB 2010 that shows the fate of various model membrane proteins, that are either folded or in the unfolded state at the plasma membrane, expressed in stable tetracycline-inducible Flp-In T-Rex HEK293 cell lines. The three model membrane proteins were chimeras of the CD4 surface receptor consisting of 1.) a C-terminally truncated CD4 that contained a flexible cytoplasmic linker (CD4tl), 2.) a CD4tl fused to the N-terminal DNA-binding domain of the wild type bacteriophage lambda repressor (CD4tl-lambda), and 3.) a CD4tl fused to a L57C mutant lambda repressor (CD4tl-lambdaC). The CD4tl-lambdaC cytosolic domain was largely in native state at 26°C but predominantly nonnative state at 37°C thus allowing the use of thermal shifts to follow the fate of unfolded proteins. To examine the post-endocytic distribution of CD4 chimeras, membrane proteins were labeled by CD4 Ab capture for 20 mins in live cells at 37°C and chased for 1 h in the absence of extracellular Ab before fixation and labeling with secondary antibody to localize the internalized CD4 chimeras (green). Lysosomes were marked by by LAMP2 antibody (red). Fluorescence micrographs were obtained by a confocal microscope (LSM510 or LSM710; Carl Zeiss, Inc.) equipped with a Plan-Apochromat 63×/NA 1.4 objective in multitrack mode. This single optical section shows that internalized CD4tl-lambda protein does not co-localize with lysosomes. A companion image in this group shows that CD4tl-lambda, however, does at least partly co-localize with endosomes, a property shared with other membrane receptors.
