Gβ1 signaling is required for the coordinated movement of cells within the pLLP. (A, B) Snapshots from 8-h epifluorescence time-lapse movies of control (A) or gnb1a/b MO1-injected (B). Tg(-8.0cldnb:lynEGFP) embryos, at 28-36 hpf, using a 5×/NA 0.15 objective (Movies 1 and 2). Lateral views with anterior to the left. Arrowheads, pLLP; *, the anterior-most region of the pronephric duct. (C, D) Snapshots from 2-h confocal time-lapse movies of control (C) or gnb1a/b MO1-injected (D). Tg(-8.0cldnb:lynEGFP) embryos, starting at 30 hpf, using a 20× NA 0.8 objective (Movies 3 and 4). The white arrows in C and D indicate the direction of pLLP migration. (C′-D′) Kymograph analysis showing the cell traces from the 2-h movies in C and D. (E) Speed of migration (in micrometers per hour) of the pLLP in control or gnb1a/b MO1-injected embryos recorded for 6 h from 28 to 34 hpf.
