Fig. 4. Requirement of Notch signaling for primary pigment-cell
specification. (A-C) Pupal eye discs stained for Bar. Bar
expression in seen in the primary pigment cells (A) and is lost in
Nts pupal eye discs shifted to a non-permissive
temperature 10 hours after pupation (B) or when
UAS-Su(H)DN is expressed in the pigment cells using the
pigment-cell-specific driver 54C-Gal4 in pupal eye discs (C).
(D-F) Wild-type cut expression in pupal cone cells (D) remains
unchanged in Nts when shifted to a nonpermissive
temperature 10 hours after pupation (E) or in an 54C-Gal4
UAS-Su(H)DN background (F). (G-J) Overexpression of
Delta in pupal cone cells using the spa-Gal4, UAS-Delta
(UAS-Dl) combination causes ectopic primary pigment-cell
specification; a high level of expression of the Delta protein is shown (G,
compare with Fig. 1B). (H)
Wild-type pupal eye disc stained for Dlg to mark the membranes shows four cone
cells and a single row of pigment cells between ommatidia. (I) spa-Gal4,
UAS-Dl pupal eye disc stained for Dlg show multiple rows of cells between
ommatidia (arrow). (J) spa-Gal4, UAS-Dl pupal eye disc stained for
Bar show the over specification of Bar-positive primary pigment cells.
