(A) HeLa cells expressing βarr2-GFP fusion were untreated (control) or treated with nocodazole or taxol (10 µM) to depolymerize or stabilize microtubule network respectively.

Briefly, cells grown on coverslips were treated with nocodazole (10 µM) for 45 minutes at 4°C or with Taxol (10 µM) for 45 minutes at 37°C to depolymerize or stabilize microtubules respectively.
