Fig. 5. Overexpression of Delta alters follicle cell fates and antagonizes
Unpaired signaling. (A-B') Dl overexpression using the
A101-GAL4 polar cell-specific driver induces extra polar cells (green). Some
of these extra cells express the main-body follicle cell marker Eya (arrow,
red in A,A') or the stalk marker Bib (arrowhead, red in B,B').
(C,C') Dl overexpression using the Upd-GAL4 polar
cell-specific driver results in loss of the stalk and fusions between
neighboring cysts. Two confocal planes of three germline cysts from a single
ovariole are shown. Fas3 (red) marks polar cells in the oldest egg chamber
(designated #1, arrowhead). (D) Dl overexpression using the 24B-GAL4
stalk cell-specific driver induces the expression of the polar cell marker,
neurA101 (arrowhead, red).
