FIGURE 8:
Changes to Arf1 localization and Golgi structure over the cell cycle. (A) Single sections of the subapical and nuclear regions of fixed Arf1-GFP–expressing embryos at interphase, metaphase, and telophase. At interphase, Arf1-GFP localizes to Golgi puncta and at the PM to a lesser extent and is excluded from the nucleus. At metaphase, Arf1-GFP increases at the PM (blue arrows) and ER (yellow arrows; inset, RFP-KDEL as a coexpressed ER marker) but is excluded from the spindle region within the ER. By telophase, the Arf1-GFP distribution resembles that at interphase. Side images are single sections below the nuclei of Arf1-GFP embryos at interphase, metaphase, and telophase stained for LqfR to show Golgi ministacks throughout the cell cycle. (B) 3D reconstructions of Arf1-GFP puncta from time-lapse imaging of a single embryo at different stages of the cell cycle. Arf1-GFP puncta are color coded according to volume. (C) Histograms showing Arf1-GFP (left) and GM130 (right) puncta volume distributions at different stages of the cell cycle (color coded). From interphase to telophase, puncta volumes decrease for both Arf1-GFP and GM130. The Arf1-GFP histogram is for time-lapse imaging of a single embryo, and each dot represents the percentage of Arf1-GFP puncta within a volume range (the same trend was observed for three embryos; unpublished data). The GM130 histogram is from imaging of fixed embryos at different cell cycle stages, and each dot represents a mean ± SD of the percentage of GM130 puncta within a volume range for the embryo at that cell cycle stage (embryo numbers in inset). Insets quantify total numbers of puncta per cell cycle stage (color coded). For Arf1-GFP, each bar represents one time frame (30 s/time frame) from time-lapse imaging of one embryo (the same trend was observed for three embryos), and for GM130, the bars show means ± SD. An increase in total puncta number was evident for both Arf1-GFP and GM130 (*p < 0.05). N, embryo numbers (compiled from two or more experiments, each with similar results). (A–C) Constructs expressed as in Figure 1.
