Fig. 7. Loss of frizzled frizzled2 affects intracellular Wingless.
(A,A') Distribution of Wingless in frizzled frizzled2 mutant
clones (outlined in white, indicated by -/-). This disc has been stained using
a protocol that distinguishes extracellular (A) from intracellular (A')
Wingless. Extracellular accumulation at the surface of mutant cells can be
seen in A. Note in A' the specific depletion of large vesicles within
the clone when compared with wild-type tissue (one such vesicle is marked by
an arrowhead). Breaks in the stripe of expression are due to occasional loss
of wingless transcription in the absence of signalling. (B,B')
The same staining protocols were applied to discs containing arrow[2]
mutant clones (outlined in white). Extracellular accumulation is seen (B).
Intracellularly (B'), large vesicles are still seen in arrow
mutant cells, consistent with the suggestion that Wingless continues to be
internalized normally.
