Fig. 5: Localization and expression levels of ELAVL2 are dynamic in mushroom bodies.
From: Dynamically expressed single ELAV/Hu orthologue elavl2 of bees is required for learning and memory
Representative anti-ELAV antibody stainings in worker bees of mushbodies (a, d, and g) counterstained with DAPI to visualize nuclei (b, e, and h) and merged pictures (c, f, and i). Insets show higher magnifications of ubiquitous expression and nuclear localization (inset in a–c), patchy expression with mostly cytoplasmic localization (inset in d–f) and patchy expression with nuclear and cytoplasmic expression (inset in g–i, arrowhead in g and i). The asterisk in g and i indicates nuclear localization in the lower part of the mushroom body. A summary of ELAVL2 localization in mushroom bodies of worker bees is shown in panel j (n = 20). Scale bars are 30 µm in i and 6 µm in the inset. The source data underlying this figure are available in Supplementary Data 1.
