Fig. 2. Rescue of Drosophila wing development and vg reporter
expression in ap0 discs by UAS-Nintra
and UAS-NECN clones.
Tub
1-Gal4/UAS-Nintra (A) and
Tub
1-Gal4/UAS-NECN (B-E) clones
monitored by autonomous expression of Wg (red in A,C), UAS-GFP (green
in B), BE-vgGFP (green in C,D), or BE-lacZ (blue
in E), induce expression of both QE reporter genes
(1XQE-lacZ, blue in A,C; 5XQE-DsRed, red in B,E), as well as
rn-lacZ (blue in B) in surrounding cells (note that rn-lacZ
expression extends beyond that of 5XQE-DsRed). Restored growth of the
wing pouch and surrounding rn-only territory is indicated by the
greatly expanded inner ring of Wg expression (A,C; compare with
Fig. 1E,F). Clones induced in
early (D) or mid- (E) third instar also induce non-autonomous QE
reporter expression, although the range of the response is greater for clones
induced during the first instar (A-C). Here, and in the remaining figures,
clones were induced during the first larval instar (except for D,E), and the
clone genotypes are indicated by colored ovals (representing presence of
marker expression within the respective clones), as indicated in each
experiment.
