Description
Anterior and posterior regions of a C. elegans embryo are determined by PAR protein distribution. PAR-2, shown in green marks the posterior region of the embryo and PAR-6, shown in red, marks the anterior region. The embryo was treated with the drug cytochalasin D that disrupts the actin cytoskeleton. Following drug treatment, the boundaries of PAR-2 and PAR-6 shift to the posterior as PAR-2 appears to be removed from the cortex and sequestered in cytoplasmic aggegates.
