FIGURE 4:
Ala-267 is necessary for junctional localization of Dia1. (A) Domain structure and mutants of Dia1. G, GTPase-binding domain; DID, Diaphanous inhibitory domain; DD, dimerization domain; FH, formin homology; DAD, Diaphanous autoregulatory domain. (B) Embryos expressing Dia1 WT or mutants (green) and mCherry-farnesyl (membrane probe; magenta) were observed. Note that the A267D/I842A mutant cannot localize at cell–cell junctions, but the I842A mutant can. Enlargements of cell–cell junctions (white boxes) are shown below. (C) Embryo expressing Dia1 A267D (green) and mCherry-farnesyl (magenta). Note that the cell expressing Dia1 A267D at high level (asterisk) is enlarged, probably due to cytokinesis failure. Scale bars: 10 µm (B); 40 µm (C).
