FIGURE 7:
An Asap-insensitive Arf1 construct is relatively ineffective for furrow ingression and Golgi organization. (A) 3D reconstructions of metaphase syncytial embryos expressing Arf1 RNAi with RNAi-resistant Arf1[N52A] (left) or RNAi-resistant Arf1[I46D] (right). Amph shows furrows, and pH3 shows cell cycle stage. Control Arf1[N52A] considerably rescues Arf1 RNAi embryos, but Asap-insensitive Arf1[I46D] does not. Below, xy-sections from the embryo surface to below the nuclei. Quantified to the right with Arf1 RNAi embryos coexpressing GFP as a control for the number of UAS constructs. N, number of metaphase embryos (compiled from two or more experiments, each with similar results). (B) Single cross-sections below the nuclei of arf1shRNA2 Arf1[N52A] (left) and arf1shRNA2 Arf1[I46D] (right) embryos stained for GM130 and LqfR (embryos at interphase). More abnormal Golgi aggregation was observed with the Asap-insensitive Arf1[I46D] than the control Arf1[N52A]. (A, B) Constructs expressed as in Figure 1.
