Fig. 5. Loss-of-function of pnr and Iro-C changes dorsal eye
sensitivity to ventral. (A,B) Overexpression of L by ey>L
causes selective ventral eye suppression in disc (A, arrow) and adult (B,
arrow). Loss-of-function clones of pnr were generated in eye using
EGUF approach, which resulted in dorsal eye enlargement (C) in disc and (D) in
adult. In the ventralized disc with EGUF pnr clones in dorsal when
L (ey>L) was overexpressed resulted in small eye because
of suppression of eye fate on both dorsal and ventral margin of (E) disc
(arrows) and in (F) adult eye (arrowhead). Misexpression of
SerDN (ey> SerDN) in the
ventralized disc with EGUF pnr clones completely abolished the entire
eye fate (G) in disc and in (H) adult eye. Loss-of-function clones of
Iro-C show dorsal eye enlargement in (I) disc. (J) EGUF
Iro-C clones in eye disc also result in dorsal eye enlargements.
(K,L) In the ventralized eye disc mutant for Iro-C, overexpression of
ey>L (K) or ey>SerDN (L) results
in suppression of eye on both DV margins and complete removal of the eye fate,
respectively.
