Fig. 5. axin- clones induced in a non-Minute
background also cause overgrowth and loss of eye specification genes. In this
case, mutant clones are positively marked in by GFP staining (in red, for
consistency with other figures), using the Gal4/Gal80 system. (A) Eyes absent
expression (green) is abolished in anterior but not posterior
axin- clones. Red box: transverse section of a small
anterior clone indicated by red line; mutant cells have grown out of the plane
of the epithelium and do not express Eyes absent. Blue box: transverse section
of a posterior clone indicated by blue line; mutant cells show extensive
overgrowth (arrow) and some express Eyes absent. (B,C) Dachshund expression
(green) is autonomously abolished in anterior axin- clones
(e.g. arrowhead in C). (D,E) Sine oculis expression is autonomously abolished
in anterior axin- clones (e.g. arrowhead in E). (D,E)
Projections of several confocal sections; to demonstrate the autonomy of this
loss, the inset in E shows a single confocal section of the clones indicated
by a box in D (the central cells in the clone are not seen as they have grown
out of the plane of the section).
