Supplementary Figure 7: MTs in Spastin expressing LE cells.

(A) Microtubule organization in the LE cells shown in Fig. 6. The wild type cell (green) contains MTs, while the other cell (brown) expresses Spastin-EGFP to eliminate the MTs. The blue tubes depict the dorsal- most borders of LE/AS adherens junctions. (B) Histograms of the lobe lengths measured in sections of wild type and Spastin expressing cells. Spastin expressing cells have a much shorter lobe as compared to the wild type (131 measurements from 17 Spastin-expressing cells from 3 zipping events, 2 embryos; 136 measurements from 16 WT cells from 2 zipping events, 2 embryos).
