Fig. 5. Mwh gel-mobility is modified by frtz activity and
phosphorylation. Immunoblots using anti-Mwh on extracts from
Drosophila pupal wings of the indicated genotypes, with
w1118 as wild-type control. Positions of molecular weight
markers shown on left; arrow on right indicates Mwh signal; arrowhead points
to non-specific band that is not altered in mutant extracts. Some extracts
also show a weak higher-molecular-weight band which appears to be specific
(asterisk), but which varies in intensity. Blots were reprobed for actin or
tubulin as loading controls. (A) Extracts from 32-hour pupal wings at
25°C. (B) Extracts from 32-hour pupal wings at 25°C, either
treated with the phosphatase inhibitor microcystin (control,
w1118) or with lambda phosphatase (P'ased). (C)
Extracts from 28-hour pupal wings raised at 29°C or 64-hour pupal wings
raised at 18°C (both equivalent to 32 hours at 25°C).
