Figure 2.

Relative movement of membranes and intercellular junctions shown by dual-channel stereo–4D reconstruction (Mohler et al., 1998). FM 4–64–labeled membranes (red) and MH27::GFP-labeled adherens junctions (green) were imaged simultaneously by confocal microscopy. The signals are shown together and separately, in both optical sections and 3D reconstructions, to demonstrate localization of junctional protein to the receding edge of fusing plasma membranes.
