Fig. 4. Weak Uba1 alleles suppress apoptosis. (A)
GMR-hid eye disc labeled with cleaved Caspase-3
(Cas3*) antibodies. Yellow arrows indicate two zones of dying cells
in GMR-hid. (B,B') Suppression of
Cas3*-positive cell death in GMR-hid discs. The yellow
arrow indicates the position of the first zone of Cas3*-positive
cell death in GMR-hid. Uba1D6 clones suppress
Cas3*-positive cell death (white arrows). However, this suppression
is not uniform and occurs in a region-specific manner. Clones in an area of
the disc marked by the red arrow are still apoptotic. Genotype: GMR-hid
ey-FLP; FRT42D Uba1D6/FRT42D P[ubi-GFP];
(C-C'') Uba1D6 clones suppress most normal
developmental cell death in 28 hours APF pupal discs. Genotype as in B.
(D-D'') Uba1H33 clones contain additional IOCs
in 42 hours APF pupal discs. Genotype: ey-FLP; FRT42D
Uba1H33/FRT42D P[ubi-GFP].
(E-E'') Diap1 protein levels are increased in
Uba1H33 mutant clones (arrows). Genotype as in D.
(F-F'') Dronc protein levels are decreased in
Uba1D6 mutant clones (arrows). Genotype as in B.
