Fig. 2. Src64B is required for Wnt5/drl-mediated axon
repulsion. (A) Ectopic WNT5 expression in the midline glia
(SIM-GAL4, UAS-WNT5/+) results in frequent thinning or complete loss (arrow)
of the AC. (B) Heterozygosity for Src64B suppresses the
thinning/loss of the AC (SIM-GAL4, UAS-WNT5/+;
Src64BPl/+). (C) EG+ neurons crossing in
the AC and PC in a Drosophila embryo with one copy of UAS-DRL-MYC and
one copy of UAS-NLS-β-Gal visualized by anti-MYC staining (UAS-DRL-MYC/+;
UAS-NLS-β-Gal/+; EG-GAL4/+). (D) Overexpression of SRC64B in
EG+ neurons does not cause the PC axons to switch commissures
(UAS-mCD8-GFP/UAS-SRC64B; EG-GAL4/+). (E) Simultaneous expression of
DRL-MYC and SRC64B in the EG+ axons significantly increases the
number of the PC-crossing lineages to switch to the AC (arrow) (UAS-DRL-MYC/+;
UAS-SRC64B/+; EG-GAL4/+). Quantitation is presented in Tables
2 and
3. Stage 16 embryos are shown,
anterior is up.
