A Balbiani Body Is a Non-Membrane-Bound Compartment Packed with Membranous Organelles (A) Phase contrast image of a stage I Xenopus laevis oocyte. Bb, Balbiani body; N, nucleus or germinal vesicle. (B) Balbiani body immobilized in perfusion chambers. 2 M NaCl (first panel) or 95°C 50 mM HEPES, 100 mM KCl (pH 7.6) buffer (second panel) was perfused into the chambers. (C) Thin-section electron microscope (EM) images of isolated Balbiani bodies from stage I Xenopus oocytes. Mitochondria (dark spots), RNP particles (green arrow head), and Golgi stacks (yellow arrow head) are clearly visible. (D) Stage I oocytes were incubated in 10 ?M Thioflavin T in 1× MMR for 10 min and washed twice with 1× MMR. See also Figure S1, Table S1, and Movie S1. |
