3 Figure 1 Biased Myosin Localization Is Dependent on Pins
(A–I) Representative image sequence of (A) a wild-type third instar neuroblast expressing Sqh:GFP (Myosin; green in overlay) and Cherry:Jupiter (microtubules [MTs]; white overlay) in (top row), (D) pinsP89/pinsP62 (middle row), and (G) UAS-Gαi (bottom row), respectively. Representative kymographs from (B) wild-type, (E) pins mutant, and (H) UAS-Gαi-expressing neuroblasts, derived from a line along the apical to basal cortex. Arrowheads highlight the apical (blue in wild-type, gray in the symmetrically dividing cells) and the basal (red in wild-type, gray in symmetrically dividing cells) cortex, respectively. The vertical dashed lines refer to the nuclear envelope break (NEB) and anaphase onset (AO), respectively. Intensity ranges are indicated with the LUT bar next to the kymographs. (C), (F), and (I) show intensity plots measured along the apical and basal cortex from the respective kymographs. The values were normalized over the global maximal intensity. (J) Normalized cortical Sqh intensities are plotted for the indicated genotypes (blue, apical; red, basal; gray, apical or basal, since polarity is lost). (K) The difference between the apical and basal normalized intensity, at the averaged time of the peak, for each cell is plotted as an asymmetry coefficient. (L) Representative wild-type metaphase and pinsP89/pinsP62 neuroblasts stained with monophosphorylated Myosin (Sqh1P) and the DNA marker DAPI. (M) Ratio of apical/basal Sqh1P intensity for wild-type and pinsP89/pinsP62. For this and all subsequent figures, asterisks denote statistical significance, derived from two-sample equal or unequal variance t test: ∗p < 0.05, ∗∗p < 0.005, ∗∗∗p < 0.0005; ns, not significant. For multiple statistical comparisons (J and K), we used Šidák correction: ∗p < (2 groups), p < (3 groups), p < (4 groups), p < (5 groups). ∗∗p < (2 groups), p < (3 groups), p < (4 groups), p < (5 groups). ∗∗∗p < (2 groups), p <  (3 groups), p < (4 groups), p < (5 groups). Time is in seconds (s); timescale bar in kymographs corresponds to 60 s. NEB, nuclear envelope breakdown (= 0 s), MTs; microtubules. Scale bars, 5 μm.
