Fig. 6. Lyn-Celsr inhibits Frizzled-induced membrane localisation of Dishevelled
through a highly conserved SE/D domain. (A) Schematic illustration
of the intracellular region of Fmi/Celsr. Two domains are conserved among
vertebrates as highlighted in blue. Only one of these, the SD/E domain is
conserved between vertebrates and Drosophila. The partial sequence of
a construct lacking this domain is shown. (B-M) Wild-type embryos
injected with 150 pg Dsh-GFP RNA in the absence (B-D) or presence (E-M) of 100
pg Fz7 RNA, together with 100 pg membrane-RFP (E-G), Lyn-Celsr-RFP (B-D,H-J)
or Lyn-Celsr-
-RFP (K-M), as indicated and analysed at 40% epiboly by
confocal microscopy. Scanning for GFP and RFP was carried out simultaneously
and merged (D,G,J,M). Fz7-mediated membrane localisation of Dsh is inhibited
by Lyn-Celsr (H,J) but not by Lyn-Celsr-
(K,M), which lacks the SD/E
domain conserved between vertebrates and Drosophila (A).
