Fig. 5. PVR function in border cell migration. (A,B) Wild-type expression of PVF1
(green) in the oocyte and nurse cell cytoplasm and PVR (red) in follicle cells
at stage 8 (A) and stage 9 (B). PVR is expressed in the border cells (arrows).
(C,D) PVR expression (red) in the outer follicle cells of an egg chamber with
several Pvrc2195 mosaic clones. Loss of GFP (green in D)
marks cells homozygous mutant for Pvr (broken lines surround the
mutant clones). (E,F) Egg chambers with border cells (arrows) mutant for
Pvr. GFP (green) positively marks the homozygous mutant cells and
filamentous actin (red) outlines all cells. (E) Egg chamber in which the
mutant border cell cluster (arrow) exhibited delayed migration. (F) Egg
chamber in which the mutant border cell cluster (arrow) migrated to the
oocyte. (G) Quantitation of the Pvr mutant migration defect compared
with the Pvf1 migration defect. Quantitation of border cell migration
shown as the proportion of egg chambers in which the border cells migrated
0-25% (yellow), 26-50% (blue), 51-75% (red) and 76-100% (black) of the normal
distance. Anterior is towards the left in all panels.
