Fig. 3. shar-pei mutant cells display ectopic cell proliferation. All panels show imaginal discs stained to detect S phases by BrdU incorporation (green). (A) Wild-type and (B) eyFLP induced mosaic eye disc nearly entirely mutant for shrp1. In wild-type, cells arrest in G1 phase in the morphogenetic furrow (arrow) and non-differentiating cells go through one synchronous S phase in the second mitotic wave (SMW, arrowhead). (B) shrp1 mutant cells also arrest in G1 and go through a synchronous SMW, but cells then continue to proliferate posterior to the SMW (asterisk). (C,D) BrdU incorporation (green) in shrp1 mutant clones marked by the absence of GFP (red). shrp1 mutant cells behind the SMW (arrowhead) continue to proliferate (arrows). This effect of shrp is cell autonomous. (E) Apical and (F) basal focal plane of an eye disc with a posterior shrp1 mutant clone stained for Elav (purple) and BrdU (green). Mutant cells were marked by the absence of GFP expression (not shown). The clone boundary is indicated by a white line in (E). BrdU-incorporating cells are located basally (F) and none of the Elav-positive cells incorporated BrdU. S phases in the SMW are marked by an arrowhead in F. Anterior is towards the left for all discs.
