Fig. 4. Src64LOF egg chambers exhibit packaging defects.
(A-E,G) Partial confocal projections of Src64LOF egg
chambers labeled with phalloidin (green) to visualize filamentous actin and
propidium iodide (red) to visualize DNA. (A)
Src64
17 egg chamber containing
30 nurse cells (NC) + two oocytes (OO) (32 germ cells (gc) total). (B)
Src64
17 egg chamber containing
60 NC + 4 OO (64 gc total). (C) Src64KO egg chamber
containing 22NC+1OO (right) next to egg chamber containing 8NC+1OO (32 gc
total). (D) Src64KO egg chamber containing 24NC+2OO
(right) next to egg chamber containing 6NC (32 gc total). (E)
Src64KO ovariole. (F)
hsFlp/+;Src64
17,FRT2A/GFP,FRT2A
egg chamber with too many germ cells labeled with phalloidin (red) and
anti-GFP (green). Src64 mutant cells lack GFP. (G)
Src64KO egg chamber containing too many cells as well as
catastrophic membrane collapse. (H)
w,hsFlp/+;Src64
17,FRT82B/Src64
17,FRT82BGFP
egg chamber labeled with anti-GFP (green) and phalloidin (red). Half the cells
in the egg chamber are labeled with GFP (green) and half are unlabeled,
indicating that the cells come from independently derived germline cysts that
were packaged together. Scale bars: 10 µm.
