Fig. 4. ptpmeg is required to prevent the retraction of MB dorsal lobe
axons. (A) Dorsal MB lobe defects in control and
ptpmeg1/Df(3L)ED201 animals over developmental time.
(B-M) Representative left hemispheres. MB neurons visualized with
OK107-Gal4;UAS-mCD8:GFP. Control (B-G) and
ptpmeg1/Df(3L)ED201 mutant (H-M) are shown for each age.
Arrowheads in L and M indicate thin dorsal lobe in ptpmeg. Inset in L
is a high magnification view of an
lobe (visualized using FasII) that
has partially withdrawn. Small arrowheads denote the concentrations of
material that are occasionally observed.
