RESUMO
The role of cytoskeletal elements in the cellularization of syncytial Drosophila embryos is becoming evident; however, the distribution and role of organelles such as the Golgi complex, essential for membrane biogenesis, remain unknown. We have cloned a Golgi-membrane-associated polypeptide, beta-COP, from Drosophila. Immunocytochemical studies of syncytial Drosophila embryos with anti-Drosophila beta-COP antibody reveal that Golgi membranes are spatially segregated from the rapidly dividing nuclei. In early embryos, the Golgi membranes are located in the embryonic cortex and nuclei are confined to the core. This distribution of Golgi membranes may serve in preparation of the embryonic cortex for the accommodation of nuclei upon their eventual migration to the cortex and in biogenesis of the excessive plasma membrane needed for cellularization of syncytial embryos.
