Figure 6. The Q neuroblast descendants AQR and PQR have direction of migration defects and fail to migrate in mig-15 NIK kinase hypomorphic mutants.

Figure 6

(A–C) are panels of epifluorescent micrographs of AQR and PQR neurons of L4 larvae with gcy-32::gfp expression. The scale bar in (A) represents 50μm for (A–C). (A) A wild-type animal with AQR located near the anterior deirid ganglion and PQR near the phasmid ganglion. (B) A mig-15(rh148) hypomorphic mutant with AQR located in its normal position. PQR migrated anteriorly, but failed to migrate to the same anterior-posterior position as AQR. (C) A mig-15(rh148) mutant with PQR located in its normal position. AQR migrated anteriorly, but failed to migrate completely to reside near the anterior deirid ganglion. (D–F) Quantitation of the final migratory positions of AQR and PQR. Anterior-posterior position of AQR and PQR is the X axis (see Materials and Methods section for description of the classifications of the anterior-posterior positions), and the percentage of AQR and PQR found at those positions in the Y axis. In each case, 100 animals were scored.
