Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Co-localisation of Sara-positive endosomes (RFP-Sara, magenta) and DeltaC staining (cyan) in 36 hpf embryos. Scale bar, 10 μm. Dashed line represents the apical side. ( A’ ) Close-up of co-localisation. Scale bar, 5 μm. ( B ) Co-localisation of Sara-positive endosomes (RFP-Sara, magenta) and Notch1b staining (cyan) in 36 hpf embryos. Scale bar, 10 μm. Dashed line represents the apical side. ( B’ ) Close-up of co-localisation. Scale bar, 5 μm. ( C ) Asymmetric distribution of Sara-positive endosomes in dividing progenitor cells in three different embryos fixed at three different developmental stages, 24, 28 and 36 hpf. Tg(actb1:HRAS-EGFP) (membrane, magenta), RFP-Sara (Sara-positive endosomes, cyan), DAPI (chromatin, grey). Scale bar, 10 μm. ( D ) Number of endosomes within dividing cells. n = 25 cells, 7 embryos. ( D’ ) Histogram of endosomal ratio between dividing cells. n = 25 cells, 7 embryos. ( E ) Asymmetric distribution of Sara-positive endosomes in dividing cells in live samples at 32 hpf. hsp70:mkate2-ras (membrane [grey], CFP-Sara [Sara-positive endosomes, cyan]). Scale bar, 10 μm. Arrowheads point to the endsosomes ( E’ ) YZ (left) and XZ (right) view of sister cells (grey) and Sara endosomes (cyan) at minute 3:00. Scale bar, 10 μm. Arrowheads point to the endsosomes. ( F ) Ath5+ cells (grey) in retinal neuroepithelium at 36 hpf in control (left) and Sara knockdown (Sara-MO, right). Scale bar, 50 μm. The yellow line delimits the apical side of the retinal neuroepithelium. ( F’ ) Tp1+ cells (grey) at 36 hpf in control (left) and Sara morpholino knockdown (right). Scale bar, 30 μm. The yellow line delimits the apical side of the retinal neuroepithelium and the lens. ( G ) Scheme recapitulating the main findings of this study presenting a working model for Sara-positive endosomes inheritance and its role in asymmetric divisions.
