Fig. 6. No lamellipodia or filopodia form in P1 isolates. Ea and Ep are
labeled with asterisks, and arrows indicate presumptive leading edges of MSxx
and P4. (A) Scanning electron micrograph of a P1
isolate. (B) F-actin localization. (C) Phosphotyrosine localization. An
enrichment of phosphotyrosine was seen at the Ep/P4 boundary, but
is unlikely to be functionally significant as it was not polarized in the
direction of movement and it was not present at the Ea/MSxx boundary.
Additionally, it was recently shown that phosphotyrosine accumulates at the
EMS/P2 boundary due to a signaling pathway that is not implicated
in gastrulation (Bei et al.,
2002). Scale bars: 10 µm.
