Fig. 2. Repression of hth, but not tsh, requires Dpp signaling.
(A-D) Adult wings containing multiple Medadro clones
induced in a Minute background by vgBE::flp. Mutant clones are marked
by y- tissue, and denoted by black arrows. (A)
Medadro clones result in reduced growth of the wing blade
and hinge along the PD axis. (B) A mutant Medadro clone
sorts out from surrounding wild-type tissue in the wing blade. (C) A mutant
Medadro clone differentiates wing margin bristles and
non-autonomously induces wing margin elements in adjacent wild-type cells. (D)
Medadro clones located near the anteroposterior (AP)
compartment boundary of the hinge differentiate bristles characteristic of the
lateral hinge. (E-U) Immunostains of wing discs; Hth staining is in blue, Tsh
is in red, and clones are marked by the absence of CD2 in green. (E-H) Late
third instar wing disc containing Medadro M+ clones
induced by vgBE::flp. (F-H) Magnification of the region denoted by
the white box in E. A large mutant clone in the wing pouch ectopically
expresses hth, but not tsh. (I-K) Late third instar wing
disc containing Medadro M+ clones induced by heat shock in
the mid-third instar. (J,K) Magnification of the region denoted by the white
box in I. The yellow arrowheads point to ectopic hth expression in
small wing pouch clones. (L) Mid third instar wing disc containing flip-out
clones of brk marked by GFP, and stained for Hth and Tsh. The
magnification shows a clone that fails to repress hth but has no
effect on tsh expression. (M) Mid third instar wing disc containing
flip-out clones of brk marked by GFP, and stained for Nubbin (Nub)
and Tsh. The magnification shows a clone that has no effect on either
tsh or nub expression. (N-Q) Late third instar wing disc
containing Medadro M+ clones induced by heat shock in the
first instar. tsh repression is maintained in distal cells, which
strongly express hth. (R-U) Late third instar wing disc containing
Medadro M+ clones induced by heat shock in the first
instar. The distal limit of tsh repression coincides with the
proximal limit of Dll (violet) expression.
