Fig. 5. FasII and ATP{alpha} are localised to the lateral cell surface and do not affect apical membrane growth. (A,B) Confocal longitudinal sections of the DT of wild-type embryos labelled with antibodies against FasII (A) and ATP{alpha} (B) show that both proteins localise to the lateral cell surface. (C,D) The expression and localization of FasII and ATP{alpha} are not affected in grh mutants. (E,H) Confocal cross sections of the DT of wild-type (E,F) and Atp{alpha} mutant (G,H) embryos labelled with antibodies against DE-cad (red; E,G) and Nrx (green; F,H). The lateral localization of Nrx is diffuse in the Atp{alpha} mutants. (I) Electron micrograph revealing a partial cross section of the DT in an Atp{alpha} mutant embryo at late stage 16. No excessive growth of the apical membrane can be seen in the Atp{alpha} mutants, and the AJs appear correctly localised near the lumenal surface. Scale bar: A-D, 10 µm; E-H, 5 µm; I, 0.5 µm
