SNX23 and PI3-kinase are required for the cell cortex distribution of SNX16. (A) SNX16 co-localizes with SNX23 to cell cortex. MCF-7 cells were transfected with the Flag-tagged SNX16 and the GFP-tagged SNX23 and the subcellular distribution of them determined as described above. (B) Efficiency of siRNAs to SNX23 as determined by real-time RT-PCR. (C) Down-regulation of SNX23 by siRNA disrupts the cell cortex distribution of SNX16. (D) The effects of small chemical inhibitors on the subcellular distribution of SNX16. Cells expressing SNX16-GFP were treated with the indicated inhibitors and the subcellular distribution of SNX16 determined as described above. Inhibition the polymerization of microtubules by colchicine or inhibition the activity of PI3-kinase by wortmannin abolishes the cell cortex distribution of SNX16. Inhibition of actin filaments (cytochalasin B) or mTOR (rapamycin) does not affect the cell cortex distribution of SNX16. Treatment of cells with monensin, staurosporine or okadaic acid has no effect on the cell cortex distribution of SNX16.
