Fig. 1. DM2, DM3 and VA1lm glomeruli are mis-shapen and ectopically localized in
dock and Pak mutants. Confocal micrographs of adult ALs
stained with the nc82 (red) and anti-GFP (green) antibodies, revealing the
neuropil structure. (A) Wild-type ALs showing distinct anatomical
subdivisions: the glomeruli. (B) A pair of
dockP1/dockP1 ALs and (C) a pair of
Pak6/Pak11 ALs showing an amorphous neuropil
structure. (D-F) DM2, (G-I) DM3 and (J-L) VA1lm glomeruli were visualized by
expressing UAS-nsyb::GFP with Or22a-Gal4, Or47a-Gal4 and
Or47b-Gal4, respectively. In the wild type (D,G,J), DM2, DM3 and
VA1lm have characteristic shapes and are located in invariant positions in the
AL. In dockP1/dockP1 (E,H,K), and
Pak6/Pak11 (F,I,L) mutants, DM2 and DM3
glomerular structures are smaller and scattered randomly in the AL. While
VA1lm is located approximately in the right position, it is severely misshapen
and frequently engulfs the adjacent VA1d glomerulus. Scale bar: 20 µm.
