Fig. 5. tsh repression is not maintained by Wg or Dpp signaling. In all
panels, Hth staining is in blue and Vg is in red. (A-C) Late third instar wing
disc containing arr clones, induced by heat shock
during the second instar. Clones are marked by the absence of GFP.
hth is only de-repressed in arr mutant clones away from the
AP boundary, while tsh is never de-repressed in the pouch (yellow
arrowheads). (D-F) dTCFDN expression in clones (GFP
positive), induced by heat shock during the second instar. Clones far from the
AP boundary in the pouch de-repress hth, but have no effect on
tsh expression (yellow arrowheads). Note that in the hinge, both
arr and dTCFDN clones
ectopically express tsh (A-F, white arrows), indicating a failure to
maintain tsh repression in this domain. (G-K)
dTCFDN expression (GFP positive) in Med13
M+ clones induced in the second instar (8 clones scored). (G-I)
hth, but not tsh, is ectopically expressed in mutant pouch
cells (yellow arrowheads). (J) tsh is still repressed in a pouch
clone (white outline) that no longer stains for Dll (violet), a marker of Wg
signal transduction. (K) In the peripodial membrane the endogenous tsh and hth
expression is unaffected by a large clone (white outline).
