Fig. 5. XKLC4 translocates during cortical rotation and associates with GBP-GFP in
particles. (A,B) XKLC4-GFP particles exhibit fast transport opposite the yolk
during cortical rotation. Shown here are time-lapse images of the vegetal
shear zone of an activated egg showing movements of XKLC4-GFP (green) and yolk
platelets (red) during peak cortical rotation. (A) First frame of sequence
showing starting position of four XKLC4-GFP particles (yellow circles) and
three yolk platelets (asterisks). (B) Same field of view approximately 38
seconds later showing paths (yellow arrows) taken by the XKLC4-GFP particles
moving from left to right and yolk platelets (Y) moving from right to left.
Please also see Movies 2-4
(http://dev.biologists.org/supplemental/)
to view time-lapse movies of XKLC4-GFP particle translocation just prior to
cortical rotation, during peak cortical rotation and during late cortical
rotation. (C-E) Localization of XKLC4-HA and GBP-GFP during cortical rotation.
(C) Confocal image of GBP-GFP particles in the vegetal shear zone of an egg
fixed during peak cortical rotation. (D) Localization of XKLC4-HA stained with
anti-HA antibodies and labeled with Alexa Fluor 568 in the same confocal
section. (E) Merged images of C and D. Arrowheads indicate examples of
particles containing both GBP-GFP and XKLC4-HA.
