In GFP-palladinFPAA cells, actin stress fibers are generally absent from within the central body of the cell and abnormal actin-rich cytoplasmic clumps (open arrowheads) and bar-like structures (solid arrowheads) are formed. Palladin retains some punctate staining at residual stress fibers within the cell. The actin cytoskeleton is disorganized and palladin is redistributed to the nucleus in GFP-palladinK15/18/51A transfected cells. Scale bar, 5 µm (also applies to B).</p> <p>(B) Endogenous VASP (red) is redistributed to actin-rich cytoplasmic clumps and bar-like structures formed in GFP-palladinFPAA transfected cells.</p>
