Fig. 7. Dizzy behaves like a Rap1-GEF in vivo. Embryos solely expressing
dominant-negative rap1N17 (A,C) compared with embryos
simultaneously expressing rap1N17 and
dizzyEP (B,D) in macrophages. (A) The expression of
rap1N17 severely disrupts the migration of macrophages
along the VNC. (B) This effect of rap1N17 is
rescued by the simultaneous expression of dizzy, presumably by
substituting for GEFs sequestered by Rap1N17. (C,D)
Similarly, the effect of Rap1N17 on macrophages migrating along the
dorsal edge (C) is rescued by the coexpression of dizzy (D). A,B:
sagittal optical sections; C,D: magnifications of similar areas as indicated
by the rectangle in Fig.
6C.
