Fig. 1. Wg is required for the maintenance of Vg expression in the DV boundary. (A)
Wild-type expression pattern of Vg in wing discs. Vg is expressed in both DV
and non-DV cells. (B,C) Vg expression in DV and non-DV cells is regulated by
vg-BE (B) and vg-QE (C), respectively. (D-F)
vg-GAL4/UAS-DN-TCF/pan wing discs stained with anti-Vg antibodies
(D), vg-BE (E) and vg-QE (F). Misexpression of DN-TCF/pan in
wing discs downregulates Vg expression in both DV and non-DV cells. (G) Wing
disc with armH8.6/armH8.6 mitotic
clones. (G1) lacZ marker (arm-lacZ P[FRT]18A); loss of
lacZ expression marks
armH8.6/armH8.6 cells. (G2) Vg
expression pattern in the same disc. (G3) DAPI staining in the same disc. (G4)
Merge image of G1-G3. Note that in a representative
armH8.6/armH8.6 clone at the DV
boundary (arrow), Vg expression is downregulated. Downregulation of Vg in
non-DV cells (arrowhead) in arm clones is also
shown.
