الملخص:<p><b>A:</b> Nomarski images of naturally fertilized and unfertilized, activated eggs from WT, mild and severe <i>par2a</i> mutant females. Chorion elevation and blastodisc formation are variably disrupted. <b>B:</b> Changes in the ratio of chorion lift to embryo size of naturally fertilized WT, mild and severe <i>par2a</i> mutant eggs at different time points over an hour postactivation, n=51; t-test; *** = <i>p</i><0.001. <b>C</b>: Confocal images of F-actin (magenta) and cortical granule (CG Content; green) distribution in naturally fertilized WT (left), <i>par2a</i> mild (middle), and <i>par2a</i> severe (right) mutant eggs at 30 mpf. <i>par2a</i> mutants show retention of F-actin meshwork that correlates with retention of CGs at cortex. <b>D</b>: Quantification of CG content staining at cortex in fertilized WT, mild and severe <i>par2a</i> mutant eggs at 30 mpf. <i>n</i> = 7, 3, 4; Mann–Whitney test; * = <i>p</i><0.05; ** = <i>p</i><0.01. <b>E</b>: Fluorescent eGFP superimposed on Nomarski image of naturally fertilized WT and mild <i>par2a</i> mutants injected with fluorescent latex beads at the vegetal pole (left column). Bead movement is recorded 1 h later (right column). Arrowheads highlight latex bead position. <b>F</b>: Average distance traveled by injected fluorescent latex beads over 1 h in naturally fertilized WT and mild <i>par2a</i> mutant eggs. <i>n</i> = 5; Mann–Whitney test; ** = <i>p</i><0.001. Scale bars: A, E = 200 µm; C = 20 µm. See file <a href="http://www.plosbiology.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pbio.3003181#pbio.3003181.s016" target="_blank">S1 Data</a> for underlying data.</p>
