Fig. 5. Epithelial polarity in par-6(M/Z) embryos.
(A-B') Microtubules in wild-type (A,A') and
par-6(M/Z) (B,B') embryos concentrate at apical regions of
intestinal epithelial cells (arrows in A',B'); embryos are
co-stained for
-tubulin and PAR-6. (C-E) IFB-2 localization in
intestinal cells of wild-type and par-6(M/Z) embryos. IFB-2 localizes
in a continuous apical band in wild type (C). In younger par-6(M/Z)
embryos (D), IFB-2 is apical but not always continuous between cells (arrow);
(E) apical IFB-2 patches separate and circularize (arrow) in older
par-6(M/Z) embryos. Scale bars: 2.5 µm.
