Fig. 6. Apical localization of Pard6
b within the neural tube does not require the PDZ domain. (A-C) Live 24 hpf embryos injected with H2b-mRFP and pard6
bwt-GFP or pard6
b
KPLG-GFP mRNA as indicated (dorsal views of the neurocoel between the first and sixth somite). (A,B) In WT, both pard6
bwt-GFP and pard6
b
KPLG-GFP localize along the apical ventricular surface of the neural tube (white arrowheads). (C) Within the pard6
bs441 mutant background, pard6
b
KPLG-GFP localizes correctly to apical surfaces of the neural tube suggesting alternative modes of apical localization of pard6
b independent of the PDZ-domain-mediated association with Crb or Nok. (D-F) Localization of pard6
bwt-GFP within the neural tube is dependent on either (E) Nok or (F) Ome/Crb2a. (H) Apical localization of Nok requires Ome/Crb2a. Orientation: all images are apical views.
