Fig. 7. Glued function is required to position Bolwig organ nuclei, where
it is antagonized by kinesin heavy chain. Wild-type second instar
eye-antennal discs stained with anti-Elav show no neuronal nuclei in the
eye-antennal disc along the path of the Bolwig nerve (A), while animals
expressing dominant-negative Glued in postmitotic Bolwig photoreceptor
neurons, using either the Elav promoter (B) or Glass38-1 (C), have
neuronal nuclei (arrowheads in B,C) along the path of the Bolwig nerve (in C,
anti-Chaoptin in red, anti-Elav in blue, arrow indicates Bolwig nerve).
Misplaced Bolwig nuclei in animals that express dominant-negative Glued under
Glass38-1 control were quantified in D. The number of misplaced
Bolwig neuron nuclei was reduced when animals were heterozygous for
loss-of-function mutations in khc.
