Fig. 6. Sktl is required for actin organization. Wild-type (A-E) and
sktl2.3 mutant (F-O) Drosophila germline
clones co-stained for plasma membrane (B,G,L, green in merge A,F,K) and
F-actin (C-E,H-J,M-O, red in merge A,F,K). Interruption of the actin cortex
along the anterior margin is found in 36% of mutant oocytes (arrowheads in
I,J). Ectopic F-actin structures are observed in 15% of mutant oocytes. D,I,N
are magnifications from C,H,M, respectively. E,J,O are optical cross-sections
of C,H,M, respectively, at the level of the red arrowheads. Asterisk,
nucleus.
