The F-actin cytoskeleton, which concentrates apically, is required for apical localization of both MyoV and Crb.
A) Control (DMSO-treated) egg chamber stained for F-actin with phalloidin (n > 9 stage 7/8 egg chambers; scale bar approximately 10 μm).
B) Latrunculin A treated egg chamber stained for F-actin with phalloidin (n > 10 stage 7/8 egg chambers; scale bar approximately 10 μm).
C) Control (DMSO-treated) egg chamber expressing MyoV-GFP with tj.Gal4 (n > 10 stage 7/8 egg chambers; scale bar approximately 10 μm). C′ show zoom image.
D) Latrunculin A treated egg chamber expressing MyoV-GFP with tj.Gal4 shows loss of MyoV-GFP apical localization (n > 12 stage 7/8 egg chambers; scale bar approximately 10 μm). D′ shows zoom image.
E) Control (DMSO-treated) Crb-GFP egg chamber showing normal apical localiz
ation of Crb in follicle cells (n > 7 stage 7/8 egg chambers; scale bar approximately 10 μm). E′ shows zoom image.
F) Latrunculin A treated Crb-GFP egg chamber showing loss of apical Crb localiz
ation and localization to endosomal punctae (n > 5 stage 7/8 egg chambers; scale bar approximately 10 μm). F′ shows zoom image.
G) Cytochalasin D treated Crb-GFP egg chamber showing loss of apical Crb localiz
ation and localization to endosomal punctae (n > 7 stage 7/8 egg chambers; scale bar approximately 10 μm). G′ shows zoom image.
