mbk-2 activity is required for the proper localization of P granules. (A) Fixed embryos stained for microtubules (red), DNA (blue) and P granules (anti-PGL-1, green), in wild-type (WT), mbk-2(dd5ts), zyg-9(b244), mel-26(RNAi) and mbk-2(dd5ts); mei-1(RNAi) embryos. The arrowhead points to the enlarged polar body due to meiotic failure in the latter. The table shows the number of embryos of each genotype with a given type of P-granule distribution. (B) WT and mbk-2(dd5ts) embryos expressing PAR-2::GFP and PAR-6::GFP. The distribution of the cortical markers is unaffected in the mutant. DIC, differential interference contrast.
