Fig. 2. Phenotypes of Src42A26-1 mutants. (A1) Size and
location of the Src42A26-1 deletion are shown by the
filled box. Triangle indicates P insertion; red boxes indicate exons; H,
HindIII; S, SalI. (A2,A3)Anti-Src42A antibody staining of
wild-type (A2) and Src42A26-1 (A3) embryos, indicating
Src42A26-1 a protein-null allele. (B1-B3)
Src42A26-1 embryos stained for Fas3 (B1,B2) or Engrailed
(B3). These embryos were associated with slightly irregular midline (B1,B2;
bottom). Staining for Engrailed (magenta) and E-cad (white) indicated
cell-cell matching failure along the midline in these embryos (B3). Bottom
panel provides an interpretation (magenta, Engrailed-expressing cells).
(B4-F4) Functional redundancy of Src42A and Src64 found in
dorsal closure/germ-band retraction (B4,B5), CNS (C1-C4), trachea (D1-D4),
visual system (E1-E3) and ovary (F1-F4). Anterior is towards the left. (B4)
Dorsal view (top) and enlargement of the dorsal midline region (bottom) in
Src42A26-1;Src64P1/+ embryos. (B5) Lateral view
of Src42A26-1;Src64P1 embryos. No germband
retraction was observed. (C) CNS stained for Fas2 (top) or Elav (bottom). In
Src double mutants, longitudinal axons were misrouted but neurons
appeared not significantly reduced in number. (D) Embryos stained for
Trachealess (Trh, top) and lumen (2A12, bottom). (E) Head regions stained for
Fas2. Bolwig's organ (bo) fails to separate from the optic lobe (ol). (F)
Ovaries stained with Rhodamine-phalloidin (magenta) and SYTOX (green).
