(A-C) Gw foci do not colocalize with AGO1. (D-I) Gw foci also do not colocalize with deadenylation complex components Not1 and Twin. (J-O) Gw does not colocalize with decapping activators Me31B and Hpat. (P) Quantifications of colocalization with Gw foci. A total of 1608, 1801, 1858, 1440, and 1450 Gw particles were counted respectively for AGO1, Not1, Twin, Me31B, and Hpat double labelings with Gw. The Pearson's correlation coefficient (PCC) value (mean ± SD) for AGO1, Not1, Twin, Me31B, and Hpat double labelings with Gw are .011 ± .007, .017 ± .002, .010 ± .004, .013± .003, and .011 ± .006 respectively. All images are from apical sections of cellularizing (stage 5) embryos. Scale bar = 1 μm.
