Figure 4

Endosomal belt co-localizes with microtubular PPB during preprophase. Green: GFP-MAP4 (in A, B, L, M and P), GFP-AtEB1 (in C-K), GFP-Ara7 (in N) and ST-YFP (in O). Red: FM4-64 (in A-M and O-P). Early in the G2-M transition, FM4-64 labeled endocytic vesicles follow the emerging EMTs labeled with GFP-MAP4, as shown in single median section (A) and 3D-projection (B). The marked rectangle in (C) is zoomed in for (D-I). FM4-64 labeled endocytic vesicles preferentially internalize from the cortical areas approached by the GFP-AtEB1 labeled EMT plus ends (D-F) (see additional file 6: Movie 6), and oryzalin-induced microtubule depolymerization disrupts their internalization routes (G-I) (see additional file 7: Movie 7) whereas the internalization paths are recovered after oryzalin removal (J). (K) Close-up of GFP-AtEB1 marked EMT plus ends bridging the NE and PPB. Note that during PPB narrowing, FM4-64 labeled endocytic vesicles preferentially internalize from the cortical areas approached by the GFP-AtEB1 (see additional file 8: Movie 8). Formation of an FM4-64 labeled cortical belt at the PPB site (labeled with GFP-MAP4) is shown in a single median section (L) and in 3-D projection (M). (N) 3-D projection of GFP-Ara7 labeled endosomes exhibiting an endosomal belt at preprophase. (O) Both FM4-64 labeled endosomes and ST-YFP labeled GAs form a cortical belt at the PPB site. (P) GFP-MAP4 labeled EMTs connecting the nucleus to the PPB intersect FM4-64 labeled vacuoles. Time is indicated in minutes. Bars represent 7 μm in A, B, J, L, M, 10 μm in C, N-P and 5 μm in K.
