Fig. 1. Identification of l(X)MB342 based on presence of ectopic
unrecognizable MARCM clones. (A) Composite confocal images of an
adult brain showing labeling of the paired MBs by GAL4-OK107-driven
expression of mCD8-GFP (arrows). GAL4-OK107 labels a few
non-MB structures in the central brain (arrowheads). (B) Composite
confocal images of a wild-type mosaic adult brain showing one MB Nb clone in
the left hemisphere and multiple single-cell/two-cell clones of MB neurons in
the right hemisphere. (C) Summary of the genetic crosses for the
MARCM-based genetic screen. The star represents a mutagenized chromosome.
(D) Composite confocal images of a mosaic adult brain containing clones
of l(X)MB342 homozygous mutant neurons. Multiple ectopic clones with
rudimentary projections are present. Clones were induced in newly hatched
larvae unless otherwise indicated. Scale bar: 20 µm. Genotypes: (A)
UAS-mCD8-GFP/+;GAL4-OK107/+; (B)
FRT19A/FRT19A,hs-FLP,tubP-GAL80;UAS-mCD8-GFP/+;GAL4-OK107/+; and (D)
FRT19A,l(X)MB342/FRT19A,hs-FLP,tubP-GAL80;UAS-mCD8-GFP/+;GAL4-OK107/+.
