Cover Image: mTOR colocalizes with the Golgi apparatus. Colocalization of mTOR and the Golgi apparatus in Human Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells (HVSMC). Wild type mTOR (Flag-mTOR/pBJ5) was overexpressed in HVSMC by electroporation. The localization of mTOR in HVSMCs was determined by immunofluorescent staining with an anti-mTOR antibody (red, Cell Signalling (#2972), Danvers, MA). Anti-Golgin-97 antibody was used to detect the Golgi apparatus (green, Molecular Probes (A-21270), Leiden, The Netherlands). Shown is an image captured by scanning confocal microscopy. The yellow color shows colocalization of mTOR with Golgi apparatus. DAPI was used for DNA staining (nuclear compartment). (Robert J. Wagner, Eva M. Rzucidlo, M.D.)
