Genetics Society of America

Caption

This video contains five clips, each showing a different unc-16 mutant cell body (Green) with its axon initial segment (labeled "commissure". Lysosome organelles (Red) can be seen moving within the axon, but they tend to escape the axon initial segment and move deeper into the axon (unlike wild type). Images were collected at 2 second. Playback is sped up 20-fold relative to real time.
