Fig. 4. eIF4G2 is required in the testis for meiotic division. Live
squashes of wild-type and mutant germ cells undergoing meiosis.
(A,C,E,G,I) Phase contrast. (B,D,F,H,J) Hoechst staining. (A,B)
Wild-type and (C,D) eIF4G2 mature spermatocytes. (E,F) Wild-type
spermatocytes with condensed chromosomes. (G,H) eIF4G2 spermatocytes
with partially condensed chromosomes. (I,J) Wild-type cells in metaphase
(arrows) and anaphase (arrowheads). All images are at the same magnification.
Scale bar: 20 µm. eIF4G2 mutant flies were
eIF4G2BR21-37/eIF4G2Z3-3283.
