The BTBIVR region is required for kelch's ring canal organizer activity. Actin filaments in wild-type ring canals (A) are neatly organized in the ring canal inner rim, while actin filaments in kelDE1 ring canals (B) are disorganized and extend into the lumen of the ring canal. Myc:ORF1 localized to kelDE1 mutant ring canals (C) and organized the inner rim actin (D). Myc:ΔNORF1 produced from the myc:ΔNORF1 15-2 line also localized to kelDE1 mutant ring canals (E) and organized the actin filaments in the inner rim (F). Myc:KREP also localized to kelDE1 mutant ring canals (G); however, it was unable to rescue ring canal morphology (H).
