Fig. 3. Mosaics marked with the lacO/GFP-LacI system confirm that
grk production in the oocyte is not required for oocyte AP polarity.
Two foci of nuclear GFP-LacI fluorescence are visible in the oocyte nucleus
(arrow), indicating that it is homozygous for the grk2B6
allele. Multiple foci are visible in 13 nurse cell nuclei and two nuclei
exhibit no foci (arrowheads). Note that GFP-LacI levels typically vary among
nuclei. Though one nucleus has high GFP-LacI and some nuclei overlap in this
projection of confocal optical sections, the presence or absence of foci in
each nucleus was determined by inspection of individual sections at the
appropriate exposure. Inset shows an enlargement of the oocyte nucleus.
