Fig. 7. Cyclin A and Cyclin E suppress Fizzy-related/Cdh1 lacking all Cdk
consensus phosphorylation sites. (A-L) The prd-Gal4
transgene was used to drive various UAS transgenes in alternating
segments. Embryos after the stage of mitosis 16 were immunolabeled with
anti-tubulin (Tub) and a DNA stain (DNA) for a comparison of the cell
densities in segments with (middle segment) and without UAS transgene
expression (outer segments). The UAS transgenes were UAS-fzr (C,D),
UAS-fzr and UAS-CycA (E,F), UAS-fzrpsm
(G,H), UAS-fzrpsm and UAS-CycA (I,J) and
UAS-fzrpsm and UAS-CycE (K,L). The
UAS-fzrpsm transgene results in expression of a Fzr
version in which all of the Cdk consensus phosphorylation sites (S/T P) are
eliminated. A control embryo without an UAS transgene is shown in
A,B. UAS-fzr and UAS-fzrpsm expression inhibits
mitosis 16 and therefore results in a twofold lower cell density.
Co-expression of either UAS-CycA or UAS-CycE suppresses this
inhibition of mitosis 16.
