Fig. 6. Localization of Fas2, Dlg and Lgl in mutant, misexpression and rescue
clusters. The delamination and migration times are shown in
Fig. 4. Polarity values are
ratios of Fas2 at the leading half of PC to Fas2 at the trailing half of PC,
and are mean±s.d. from on average 10 measurements. (A-A'') Fas2
colocalizes with Dlg and Lgl at the leading half of the PCs. Dlg and Lgl
colocalize in the cortex of BCs. (B-B'') In Fas2rd1
clusters, Dlg and Lgl are mislocalized in BCs. In PCs, Fas2 remains polarized,
and Dlg and Lgl colocalize in a similar pattern (arrowheads). (C-C'')
Complete loss of Fas2 in Fas2null PCs causes Dlg and Lgl
fragmentation and loss of polarity (arrowheads). As in
Fas2rd1 clusters, Dlg and Lgl are mislocalized in BCs.
Fas2 is polarized in dlghf/+ and
lgl4/+ clusters that contain functional Dlg or Lgl reduced
by half (D,F). Further reduction of Dlg in
dlghf/dlglv55 clusters (E'), and
Lgl in lgl4/lglts3 clusters (G'') results
in the loss of Fas2 polarity (E,G). (H-H'') Fas2, Dlg and Lgl colocalize
in a circumferential pattern in PCs in UAS-Fas2/+; BA3-Gal4/+ clusters. Fas2,
Dlg and Lgl colocalize in polarized pattern in PCs in UAS-Fas2
3/+;
BA3-Gal4/+ clusters (I-I''), and in UAS CD8-Fas2/+; BA3 Gal4/+ clusters
(J-J''). (K) Fas2 polarity in Fas2rd1 PCs is restored
when Fas2 is targeted to PCs. (L) Polarity of Fas2rd1 PCs
is abolished when Dlg is targeted to BCs. In all cases, decrease of Fas2
polarity correlates with the delay of BC delamination. Arrowheads indicate the
accumulation of Fas2, Dlg or Lgl.
