Fig. 6. Endocytosis of Cy3mBSA is perturbed in shits cells at a
restrictive temperature while F-Dex uptake appears unaffected. (A) Schematic
of Drosophila dynamin (PH, plextrin homology domain; GED, GTPase
effector domain; PRD, proline-rich domain) showing the locations of the
shits2 (G141S) and shits1 mutations
(G267D). (B-J) Cells from wild-type CS animals (B,E,H) internalize Cy3mBSA
(red) and F-Dex (green) into endosomes following a pulse for 5 minutes at
21°C (B, arrows) and 31°C (E, arrows). Cells from
shits1 (C,F,I) and shits2 (D,G,J)
animals internalize Cy3mBSA and F-Dex at 21°C (C,D, arrows). At 31°C
in cells from shits animals (F,G), Cy3mBSA remains
peripherally distributed in punctate (small arrowheads) and hazy distribution,
whereas F-Dex continues to be internalized into large endosomes (arrows).
Cells labeled with Cy3mBSA for 20 minutes on ice (H,I,J) show a distribution
similar to shits cells at 31°C (small arrowheads).
