Fig. 6. Aberrant localization of Syph cargos in syph-deficient
embryos. (A-C) High-magnification dorsal view of embryos expressing
EB1-EYFP under the control of the En-Gal4 driver (striped pattern) that were
injected with buffer alone (A) or with Syph dsRNA (B,C) undergoing DC. Note
trafficking of EB1-EYFP LE cell filopodia (brackets) in control embryos (A)
that is mostly absent from Syph-deficient embryos (bracket, B; C).
Syph-deficient embryos exhibiting the strongest phenotypes also show disrupted
EB1-EYFP trafficking within the LE and more ventrally located cells (C). See
Movie 4 in the supplementary material. (D-G'') Actin expression
(as visualized by phalloidin staining; D-E'') and
-tubulin
expression (F-G'') in buffer-injected (D-D''; F-F'') and Syph
dsRNA-treated (E-E''; G-G'') nuclear-GFP-expressing stage 15
embryos. (H-I')
-tubulin expression in wild-type
(H,H') and Syph dsRNA-treated (I,I') S2R+ cells. Note reduction of
cellular extensions and disruption of MT lattice networks in the Syph
RNAi-treated cells. Scale bars: 10 µm in A-C; 20 µm in D-I'.
