Figure 11. CDC-42, RAC and CDC-24 display distinct localization patterns during germination.

Figure 11

(A) Fluorescent images show the localization of YFP-CDC-42, YFP-RAC and GFP-CDC-24 during spore germination and germ tube emergence. White arrows indicate the presence of YFP-CDC-42 at discrete region of the spore indicated a new polarization site and indicate that CDC-42 continues present at apical dome during germ tube emergence. Black arrow indicates the localization of YFP-RAC during germ tube elongation. White arrowhead indicates the localization of GFP-CDC-24 at discrete region of the spore and germ tube elongation. (B) Phase-contrast and Fluorescent images showing the localization of YFP-CDC-42, YFP-RAC and GFP-CDC-24 in germlings of N. crassa. Note that CDC-42 and RAC are present in the septum development in germlings, but CDC-24 was not detected in this process. White arrowheads show septum formation by phase-contrast and fluorescent microscopy. Black arrowhead indicates the localization of YFP-CDC-42, YFP-RAC and GFP-CDC-24 at the apex of germlings.
