Phosphorylated TBK1 is localized to the TGN in ISD-stimulated primary MEFs. a, Immunostaining of phosphorylated TBK1 (red) in cells treated with nocodazole and ISD. GM130 (a CGN protein, cyan) and TGN46 (a TGN protein, magenta) were co-stained. Scale bars, 10 μm. b-c, The mini-Golgi stacks indicated by the boxes in (a) were magnified. The cis and trans-regions of the mini-Golgi stacks were outlined with dashed line.

STING activates TBK1 at TGN in the α-COP variants-expressing cells.
High resolution images of Fig. 2b. Images of p-TBK1 were taken in the same conditions and displayed with the same contrast levels. The α-COP variants and EGFP-STING expressing Sting-/- MEFs were fixed, permeabilized, and stained for TGN38 (a Golgi protein) and p-TBK1. The magnified image of the perinuclear region is shown in the lower leftbox. Scale bars, 10 μm. Fluorescence intensity profile along the white line is shown below.

Sheep anti Rat TGN38 antibody recognizes rat TGN38, a 357 amino acid single pass trans membrane glycoprotein found primarily in the trans-golgi network, and acts as an excellent marker for this cellular organelle (Humphrey et al. 1993).

TGN38 is likely to have a role in intracellular transport (McNamara et al. 2004) and plays a role in morphological maintenance (Girotti and Banting 1996). It is the homologue of human TGN46 and macaque TGN47 (Ponnambalam et al. 1996).
