Figure 5. nos and posterior otd1 mRNA require actin for anchoring.

Figure 5

Wild type follicles stained for otd1 (A) and nos (B) mRNA after 60 mins of culturing at room temperature. Culturing for 60 mins with cytochalasin D results in detachment of posterior otd1 mRNA from the posterior pole of the oocyte (marked by an asterisk). Anterior otd1 mRNA localization remains unaffected (C). nos mRNA is also delocalized from the posterior in response to actin disruption. Most of nos mRNA, however, remains localized to the oosome (D).
