Fig. 9. Induction of apoptosis and JNK activity by by. (A-C) In
immunohistochemical analyses using anti-phosphospecific JNK antibody, JNK
phosphorylation was dramatically increased in the wing imaginal discs
expressing by (C), and decreased in the wing imaginal discs of
homozygous by2 mutant (B) compared with the wild-type
control (A). (D) The MS1096-GAL4 fly displayed a normal wing phenotype. (E)
Overexpression of by using MS1096-GAL4 turned the wing into a convex
shape. (F,G) In Acridine Orange staining experiments, overexpression of
by (G) dramatically induced apoptotic cell death in wing imaginal
discs, compared with the wild-type control (F).
