UASp-YFP-Rab Lines BDSC stock # Phenotypes of stage 10 oocytes overexpressing YFP-Rab proteins driven by matalpha4-GAL-VP16 driver
Subcellular localization of YFP-Rab protein Rab7 Granule Size F-Actin Lysotracker
Rab4-WT 9767 Co-localize with Rab7-positive granules, also diffusive in cytoplasm Normal Normal Normal Normal
Rab4-CA 23268 Diffusive, with enrichment near oocyte cortex Normal Normal Normal Normal
Rab4-DN 9768 Diffusive, with enrichment near oocyte cortex Normal Normal Normal Normal
Rab5-WT 24616 Strongly enriched as puncta at cortex Normal Normal Normal Normal
Rab5-CA 9774 Enriched in puncta and on the membrane surface of large granules. Reduced enrichment at oocyte cortex. Enriched in puncta and on the membrane surface of large granules. Reduced enrichment at oocyte cortex. Very large Normal near the cortex, more smaller F-actin puncta associated with large YFP-Rab5-CA granules inside the oocytes Large granules are lysotracker-positive.
Rab5-DN 9778 Diffusive, with enrichment near oocyte cortex Enrichment at oocyte cortex. More diffusive Rab7 in the cytoplasm. Few large Rab7-positive granules exist Small granules Normal Existence of few very small lysotracker-positive granules near the posterior of oocytes
Rab7-WT 23641 Enriched at oocyte cortex and on the surface of Rab7-positive granules Normal Normal Normal Normal
Rab7-CA 24103 Enriched at oocyte cortex and on the surface of Rab7-positive granules Normal Normal Normal Normal
Rab7-DN 9778 Diffusive, with enrichment near cortex Diffusive Large Aberrant "rings" on some Rab7-positive granules Normal
Rab11-WT 50782 Enriched as small puncta at oocyte cortex. Normal Normal Normal Normal
Rab11-CA 23260 Diffusive, with enrichment near oocyte cortex Normal Normal Normal Normal
Rab11-DN 9792 Diffusive, with enrichment near oocyte cortex Diffusive, reduced enrichment at oocyte cortex, increased levels near the posterior of the oocytes Few visible and very small-sized granules Aberrant small F-actin aggregates inside the oocytes Existence of few small lysotracker-positive granules near the posterior of oocytes
