Fig. 5. Scrib domain regulation of mitotic spindle and cell size asymmetry in neuroblasts. Stage 15 telophase neuroblasts (identified as Pins+ and Mira+) were scored for cortical markers, spindle morphology, and cell size. Schematic of the phenotypic categories is shown at the top: apical cortex, blue (Pins); basal cortex, red (Mira); mitotic spindle and centrosomes, green ({alpha}-tubulin). Cell size ratios are apical/basal and are defined as: normal, >1.25; symmetrical, 0.8-1.25; inverted, <0.8. Wild-type neuroblasts divide asymmetrically. scrib1/scrib1 neuroblasts show only 65% asymmetric divisions. scrib1/scrib1 neuroblasts expressing FL or {Delta}CT proteins rescue normal asymmetric divisions. scrib1/scrib1 neuroblasts expressing LRR, {Delta}PDZ, PDZ, {Delta}LRR, or CT proteins fail to rescue asymmetric cell division.
