Restoration of endocytosis corrects SD delocalisation in Cubn2E3-1 nephrocytes. (A,A′) Promoting global endocytosis by Rab5 expression in Cubn2-attenuated nephrocytes largely restores SD positioning [arrowheads indicate SD internal accumulation; arrows indicate gaps in SD-protein distribution; n=106 out of 131 nephrocytes (N), 22 strings (S) examined. (B) Megalin expression in wild-type nephrocytes [arrow indicates Mgl in the proventriculus (PV), n=29N/3S]. (C) Ectopically expressed Mgl accumulates with Cubn in the LCh membrane (arrowheads, n=20N/2S). (D-G″) Ectopic Mgl in Amnionless3 nephrocytes localises at the LCh (D, n=21N/2S,) concomitant with the ER retention of Cubn and Cubn2 (arrows in E, n=42N/4S, and F, n=18N/2S), and suppresses the Duf/Pyd internal aggregates found in Amnionless3 (G″, n=28/2S). However, note the lower density of SDs at the periphery (G, compare with Fig. 1A) and the presence of ectopic SDs at the subcortical region (G′, arrowheads in G″; inset in G″ is at 2.5× higher magnification).
