Fig. 5. Co-expressing a GemininRNAi construct does not
rescue the Cyclin E or ApcRNAi overexpression
phenotypes. The Flipout/Gal4 technique was used to clonally overexpress
Geminin, Cyclin E Apc10RNAi; Apc8RNAi and
GemininRNAi with GFP. Drosophila salivary glands
containing (A-A''') UAS-Geminin, (B-B''')
UAS-Cyclin E; UAS-GemininRNAi and
(C-C''') UAS-Apc10RNAi/UAS-GemininRNAi;
UAS-Apc8RNAi Flip-out clones labeled with (A,B, white;
A''',B''', green)
-GFP, (C, white; C''' green)
-β-Gal and (A',B',C', white;
A''',B''',C''', red)
-Geminin antibodies, and
(A'',B'',C'', white; A''', B''',C''' blue) DAPI.
(A-A''') The overexpression of Geminin, in cells marked by an asterisk,
blocks DNA replication. (B-B''',C-C''') Co-expression of
GemininRNAi does not rescue the block of DNA replication associated
with overexpression of Cyclin E or Apc10RNAi; Apc8RNAi
[compare the DNA content in flip-out clones (arrows) with the DNA content in
wild-type cells (arrowheads)]. The mitotic cells of the imaginal ring
cyclically express Geminin (asterisk).
