Gastrulation movements and changes in PAR protein localization.
(A) Gastrulation events in three model organisms: lateral view of a sea urchin embryo with ingression of bottle cells (wedge-shaped cells); ventral furrow formation in Drosophila (ingressing cells shaded gray); and lateral view of C. elegans embryo. The intestinal precursor cells – the ‘endoderm pair’ Ea and Ep – ingress, while mesoderm (MS) and germline (P4) descendants move to overlie Ea and Ep. (Black arrows indicate movement of ingressing cells.) (B) Localization of PAR-2 (red) and PAR-3 (green) in C. elegans two-cell and 26-cell embryos, respectively. In two-cell embryos, PAR-3 excludes PAR-2 from the anterior of P1. In the 26-cell embryos, PAR-3 and PAR-2 have switched from anterior-posterior polarity to apical-basal polarity (shown here only for the endoderm pair). PAR-3 excludes PAR-2 from the apical surface of each cell.
