Fig. 5. Ectopic expression of pro-apoptotic genes in debcl mutant
animals. (A,B) A morphologically normal eye in WT (A) and
debcl59 (B). Killing by the RHG proteins is not dependent
on debcl function. (C-H) pGMR-rpr (C,D),
pGMR-grim4 (E,F) and pGMR-hid (G,H) in the eye showing no
effect on the ablated eye phenotype. (I,K) Two different alleles
of UAS-Bax1, GMR-Gal4 showing severe ablation of the eye in
the WT background. (J,L) This severe eye phenotype is partially
restored in a debcl heterozygous background (not shown) and is nearly
completely reversed in homozygous debclKO; UAS-Bax1,
GMR-Gal4.
