Fig. 5. The Kinesin light chain (Klc) and sunday driver are not
essential for the posterior localisation of Staufen and Dynein. Localisation
of Staufen (A-C) and the dynein heavy chain (D-F) at the posterior pole of the
oocyte in wild-type (A,D), sunday driver (syd; B,E) and Klc
(C,F) mutant egg chambers. In syd mutant oocytes, the localisation of
Staufen (B) and DHC (E) proteins is indistinguishable from wild type (A,D). In
Klc mutant egg chambers, Staufen (C) and DHC (F) are transported from
the anterior to the posterior as in wild type, although the Staufen posterior
crescent is occasionally not as tight as in wild type (I. M. P. and D. St J.,
unpublished), and the amount of DHC at the posterior is reduced. The mutant
clones are marked by the absence of nuclear GFP.
