Involvement of PtdIns(4,5)P2 metabolites in the establishment of cell polarity in monospores. (A) Effects of 2-APB on the motility and development of monospores. Freshly released monospores incubated with an increasing concentration of 2-APB for 3 h (a) and 24 h (b). Columns and vertical bars represent the mean and SD, respectively (n=3). The organization of F-actin and renascent cell wall synthesis in 20 μM 2-APB treated monospores are indicated in (c) and (d), respectively. Upper and lower photographs in each panel show bright-field and fluorescent images, respectively. Scale bars=5 μm. (B) Effects of R59022 on the motility and development of monospores. Freshly released monospores incubated with an increasing concentration of R59022 for 3 h (a) and 24 h (b). Columns and vertical bars represent the mean and SD, respectively (n=3). The organization of F-actin and renascent cell wall synthesis in 15 μM R59022 treated monospores are indicated in (c) and (d), respectively. Upper and lower photographs in each panel show bright-field and fluorescent images, respectively. Scale bars=5 μm.
