Effects of KhcmutA on Staufen movement. (A–D) Replacement of endogenous Khc with KhcmutA does not affect overall Staufen movement in stage 9 oocytes. (A and B) Temporal color-coded images showing Staufen-SunTag particle movement in cytoplasmic areas of a stage 9 control oocyte (A) and a stage 9 KhcmutA oocyte (B). (C and D) Quantification of Staufen-SunTag movement in cytoplasm of stage 9 oocytes. (C) Average velocities (mean ± 95% confidence interval) of Staufen-SunTag in cytoplasm of control oocytes and of KhcmutA oocytes. (D) Histograms of frequency distribution (percentages) of Staufen-SunTag velocity in cytoplasm of control and of KhcmutA oocytes. The inset shows the average velocity of fast-moving Staufen-SunTag particles (>0.1 µm/s) in cytoplasm of control and of KhcmutA oocytes. (E–H) Replacement of endogenous Khc with KhcmutA leads to slower movement of Staufen particles in cytoplasm of stage 10B oocytes. (E and F) Temporal color-coded images showing Staufen-SunTag particle movement in cytoplasmic areas of a stage 10B control oocyte (E) and a stage 10B KhcmutA oocyte (F). (G and H) Quantification of Staufen-SunTag movement in cytoplasm of stage 10B oocytes. (G) Average velocities (mean ± 95% confidence interval) of Staufen-SunTag in cytoplasm of control oocytes (the same set of data as Fig. 1 C) and of KhcmutA oocytes. (H) Histograms of frequency distribution (percentages) of Staufen-SunTag velocity in cytoplasm of control and of KhcmutA oocytes. Bars, 50 µm.
