Figure 6. Deletion of kank did not affect muscle cell morphology or microtubule organisation.

(A) Closer examination of the lateral transverse muscle shows Kank staining near sites where microtubule ends are attached to the periphery of muscle cells. (B) No clear differences were seen in the overall organisation of somatic musculature, or in the organisation of their microtubules, between wild type and kankΔ as imaged with β3-tubulin staining. Scale bars = 25 µm.
