Fig. 2. Egg chambers that contain both follicle cell and germline clones mutant
for papss produce dorsalized embryos. (A,C,E,G) Whole-mount
stainings of syncytial blastoderm embryos with anti-Twist antibody. (B,D,F,H)
Cuticle preparations of developed embryos. (A,B) Embryos from
wild-type mothers. (C,D) Embryos from e22c-GAL4,
UAS-FLP/+; FRT82B hGFP/FRT82B
sll7E18mother carrying homozygous sll mutant
follicle cell clones. Anterior Twist expression is disrupted (C) and the
cuticle is dorsalized (D). (E,F) Embryos from
hsFLP1/+; P[ovoD1]
FRT79D/papss2 FRT79D mothers mated
to wild-type males. Loss of papss from the germline alone does not
affect Twist expression (E) or DV pattern formation of the embryo (F).
Paternally-rescued embryos exhibit weak segmentation defects (F), similar to
paternally-rescued embryos derived from sgl mutant germline clones
(Binari et al., 1997;
Perrimon et al., 1996).
(G,H) Embryos from hsFLP1/+; e22c-GAL4,
UAS-FLP/+; P[ovoD1]
FRT79D/papss2 FRT79D mothers mated
to wild-type males. Loss of papss function in both the germline and
the follicular epithelium disrupts Twist expression (G) and results in embryos
that lack ventral and lateral pattern elements (H).
