Fig. 6. Rescue of the mbt eye phenotype by transgenic constructs.
Tangential sections of eyes of the following genotypes: (A)
mbtP1/Y; UAS:mbt/+; Gal4:238Y/+; (B)
mbtP1/Y; UAS:mbtT525A/+; Gal4:238Y/+;
and (C) mbtP1/Y; UAS:mbtH19,22L/+;
Gal4:238Y/+. Expression of the mbt cDNA with Gal4 line 238Y in a
mbtP1 mutant background results in a complete rescue of
the mbtP1 eye phenotype (A, compare with
Fig. 1B). MbtT525A
can only partially substitute the loss of endogenous Mbt function (B);
occasionally photoreceptor cells are missing (arrows). No rescue of the
mbtP1 phenotype is observed upon expression of the
mbtH19,22L construct (C). Scale bar: 10 µm.
