Fig. 1. Effect of tws mutation on Wg, DV-Vg and Ct expression patterns.
(A-C) Tws expression levels (detected by anti-Tws antibody staining) in
wild-type (A), twsP/+ (B) and
twsP/twsP (C) wing discs. Homozygous
mutants barely have any gene product. (D,E) Wild-type (D) and
twsP/twsP (E) wing discs stained for
Ci, which is expressed only in the anterior compartment. Note complete
mirror-symmetry duplication in
twsP/twsP disc as reported by Uemura
et al. (Uemura et al., 1993).
(F,G) Wild-type (F) and twsP/twsP (G)
wing discs stained for Wg. (H,I) Higher magnification images of wild-type (H)
and twsP/twsP (I) wing discs showing
Wg expression in the DV boundary in more detail. Note that Wg levels in the DV
boundary of twsP/twsP discs are
marginally lower, while the expression pattern itself is unchanged compared
with wild type. (J,K) Wild-type (J) and
twsP/twsP (K) wing discs stained for
vg-BE. There is no change in the expression pattern of vg-BE
between normal and mutant discs. (L,M) Wild type (L) and
twsP/twsP (M) wing discs stained for
Ct. Note reduction in Ct expression levels in the mutant disc.
