Figure 8. Reduced levels of PS2 integrin recruit wild type levels of talin.

Figure 8

Embryos were labelled with antibodies against αPS2 (green) and talin (red). (A and B) The amount of αPS2 transported to muscle ends was reduced in if35 mutants (compare A’ to B’), however talin at MAS was not changed (A” and B”). Scale bar 50μm (C) Magnification of if35 MAS at stage 17, scale bar 25μm. Talin preferentially localized to muscle ends and not with the αPS2 and βPS that is trapped inside the cell. (D) Quantification of average ratios of talin to αPS2 immunofluorescence at direct and indirect MAS from wild type and if35 mutant embryos. An example of a direct MAS is indicated by an arrowhead in B’and B”. The arrows in B’ and B” point to an indirect MAS.
