Fig. 6. Loss of Sqd in the germline does not affect posterior follicle cell
specification, and loss of Sqd in somatic cells does not affect their
polarity. (A) Expression of the posterior follicle cell marker
pntrm254 (blue) is normal in sqdj4B4
germline clones, while kin-ß-gal is mislocalized (arrow). (B) The
centripetal follicle cell marker BB127 (blue) is expressed normally
at the anterior of sqdj4B4 germline clones (arrow). (C)
Baz protein (red) localizes to the apical membrane of follicle cells. The
absence of nuclear GFP (green) marks sqdj4B4 mutant
clones. Note that this egg chamber is also mutant for sqd in the
germline. Baz localization is normal in sqdj4B4 follicle
cell clones. (D) The wing blade trichome bristles display normal planar cell
polarity in sqdj4B4/Df(3R)urd escaper flies.
