Fig. 6. Bottleneck protein co-localizes to the cellularization front with myosin.
Cross-sections (A,C,E) and projections of confocal sections of the
cellularization front (B,D,F) before the cellularization front has passed the
nuclear bases of wild-type embryos. Embryos were stained with antibodies to
Bnk and myosin, and images have been arranged to show Bnk protein (A,B),
Myosin (C,D), and merged images of both Bnk and myosin (E,F). (A,B) Bnk is
expressed along the entire furrow canal and in microfilament rings during
early cellularization. (C,D) Myosin is expressed basal-laterally in the furrow
canal and in microfilament rings. (E,F) Bnk and myosin localization overlaps
in microfilament rings and overlaps basal-laterally in the furrow canal, but
Bnk localization extends farther apically. Scale bar: 10 µm.
