Representative pictures of fluorescence microscopy experiments showing patterns of membrane protein distribution according to their subcellular localization. The mVenus-tagged membrane proteins were observed in a diffuse, b punctate, c punctate/sporulation, d patchy, e polar, and f polar/septal patterns of distribution. g, h OpuAA and OpuAB form a complex in vivo, and both localize in a punctate pattern. i, j Both subunits of the ZnuAB complex localize in a patchy pattern. Gray lines in panels a–f 2 μm, white lines in g–j 3 μm
