Fig. 3. Expression of Bowl is regulated by Notch activity. (A-C) Bowl expression
(magenta, anti-Bowl) correlates with expression of Delta (green, anti-Delta).
(A,A')
80-84 hour third-instar; Delta expression (green) is found
adjacent to Bowl-expressing cells (magenta; presumptive femur fe).
(B,B')
90 hours, a further domain of Delta (green) is intercalated
within the presumptive tibia (ti) and strong expression is seen adjacent to
the t5/pretarsal ring of Bowl (pretarsus, pt). (C,C')
120 hours,
further rings of Delta expression are present within the tarsal region (e.g.
arrows C,C'). Bowl is detected at tibia/t1 and t5/pretarsus boundaries,
not at intervening sites (arrows, C). (D,D') 78-80 hours
odd-lacZ expression (green, anti-ß-galactosidase) occurs
adjacent to sites of Serrate (magenta, anti-Serrate). Expression of Serrate
within presumptive femur is indicated (fe). (E,E') Bowl expression
(magenta) at t5/pretarsus boundary is absent in N81K
mutant clones (arrow, marked by absence of GFP). (F,F') Ectopic Notch
activity (green; act>Gal4/UAS-Nicd) induces ectopic
Bowl expression (magenta). Arrows indicate sites with ectopic Bowl (overlap
between Nicd and Bowl appears white in F).
