FIGURE 4:

Phosphomimetic MLC-4 mutant impairs ovulation. Dissected gonads from mlc-4/+ worms expressing GFP–MLC-4(WT) (ML1150; A, C, E, G) or GFP–MLC-4(DD) (ML1151; B, D, F, H) were stained for GFP (A, B), F-actin (C, D), and DNA (E, F). Regions of the myoepithelial sheath. Large aggregates of DNA in F indicate the presence of endomitotic oocytes. Arrows indicate locally concentrated GFP–MLC-4(DD) and F-actin, suggesting that the constitutively active MLC-4 mutant induced contraction of the actomyosin networks.
