Fig. 4. Wild-type Hsp90a rescues thick filament formation in
slou45 muscle cells whereas Hsp90au45 does
not. (A-D) Muscle fibres from a slou45 mutant
(B,D) and wild-type (Sib) (A,C) injected with DNA encoding myc:WTHsp90a double
stained for myc (red) and MHC (green). MHC staining in siblings decorates the
cells with organised bands (C) indicative of mature A-bands. In the
slou45 mutant, striations in the MHC staining are only
evident in myc+ cells (D). (E,F) Muscle fibres in sibling
embryos injected with myc-tagged hsp90au45 DNA show
organised MHC staining of myc+ cells (E). Myc+ cells in
slou45 mutants injected with the same construct do not
show organised myofibrils (F). Scale bars: 100 µm in A,B; 10 µm in
C-F.
