Fig. 6. Me31B is dispensable for the transport of Exu, and osk and BicD mRNAs to the oocyte. Arrowheads indicate me31B^- egg chambers, which were identified by loss of Vas-GFP (A-D) or Me31B (E-L) signals. In early egg chambers, Exu (B,D), and osk (F,H) and BicD (J,L) mRNAs are all transported to the oocyte even in the absence of Me31B (arrowheads). Particulate signals in nurse cell cytoplasm were detectable in these me31B^- egg chambers. Scale bar: 50 µm.
