Individualization defects in mob4 depleted testes. Control (mCherryRNAi) (a) and mob4RNAi (d) testes from 2-day-old males were immunostained with antipolyglycylated tubulin (green) to visualize axonemes in individualizing/coiling cysts or mature sperm. The seminal vesicle (SV) and terminal epithelium (TE) are highlighted in white and pink, respectively. Control (b) and mob4RNAi (e) testes were stained with phalloidin-594 and immunostained to reveal cleaved caspase 3 (cyan). Cystic bulges (CB, white arrows) and waste bags (WB, white arrowheads) resulting from spermatid individualization can be seen in control testes (b­–c) but are absent from mob4-depleted testes (e–f). Actin cones and spermatid bundles from control (c) and mob4RNAi (f) testes visualized with phalloidin-594 and immunostained to reveal polyglycylated tubulin (green).
