Fig. 2. PAR-6ZF1GFP localization and degradation. Panels show
par-6(zu170) embryos expressing maternal PAR-6ZF1GFP
stained with
-PAR-6 antibodies (green) and/or
-GFP antibodies
(red).
-PAR-6 antibodies also react non-specifically with P granules
(P). (A,B) One-cell embryo co-stained for PAR-6 and GFP;
PAR-6ZF1GFP is at the anterior cortex (arrow). (C) A 26-cell
embryo; PAR-6ZF1GFP has degraded from most cells except the
germ-line precursor cell (asterisk) and the youngest somatic cells (arrows).
(D)
100-cell embryo; PAR-6ZF1GFP is detectable only in
the two germ cells (asterisks). (E,F) 1.25 fold stage embryos;
PAR-6 (arrow in E) but not PAR-6ZF1GFP (F) is detectable in
epithelial cells. Scale bar: 2.5 µm.
