Fig. 1. Grk requires Dpp to induce DV eggshell polarity. Anterior is to the
left. (A-C) Double immunofluorescence stainings for Grk (green) and
pMAD (red). (A,B) Lateral views. (C) Dorsal view. (D-F) Double
immunofluorescence stainings for Grk (green) and ß-gal (red) of the egg
chambers dissected from females carrying a dad-lacZ transgene. (D)
Dorsal view. (E,F) Lateral views. (G,K) Immunofluorescence
stainings for BR-C protein or Fas3 protein in wt stage 10B egg chambers;
dorsal views. The white arrowheads mark the dorsal midline (DM). (H-J;
L-N) Double immunofluorescence stainings for BR-C (red) or Fas3 (red)
and GFP (green) in egg chambers carrying large Med13
mutant follicle cell clones; dorsal views. White lines mark the clone
boundaries. White arrows in H mark single wt cells surrounded by cells mutant
for Med13. (O) Immunofluorescence staining for
ß-gal (red) of the egg chambers dissected from females carrying a
pipe-lacZ transgene; lateral view. The white arrowhead marks the DM.
(P-R) Double immunofluorescence stainings for ß-gal (red) to
detect pipe-lacZ and GFP (green) in egg chambers carrying large
Med13 mutant follicle cell clones; lateral views. White
lines mark the clone boundaries. (S-U) Darkfield micrographs of
deposited eggs. (S) Wild-type egg. (T) Egg laid by female mutant for
cap-n-collar (cnc) lacks DV eggshell polarity. In cnc
mutants the oocyte nucleus is not anchored at the dorsal-anterior cortex of
the oocyte. This prevents the induction of DV polarity by the second round of
Grk signaling (Guichet et al.,
2001). (U) Egg laid by female in which follicle cell clones mutant
for Med13 were induced also lacks DV eggshell
polarity.
