Fig. 3. cic mutant follicle cells exhibit ectopic mirr expression. (A-A'') Wild-type stage 10B egg chamber (dorsolateral view). (A) mirr-lacZ is expressed in dorsal anterior follicle cells. (A') At this stage, the two dorsal anterior high BR-C domains (outlined) have been established. (A'') Overlay illustrates that the mirr-lacZ domain aligns with the high BR-C domains. (B) Stage 10B cic mutant egg chamber, dorsal (top) and ventral (bottom) views. (C) Stage 10B (ventrolateral view). Homozygous cicfetU6 follicle cell clones are marked by the absence of nuclear GFP. (C') Endogenous dorsal anterior (top arrow) and ectopic anterior mirr-lacZ expression in the egg chamber in C. Ectopic mirr-lacZ is observed in cells in the anterior half (arrowheads), but not in the posterior half (arrows), of the columnar epithelium. (D) Ventral cicfetU6 mutant follicle cell clone (stage 10B) marked by the absence of N-Myc. (D') Ectopic mirr-lacZ expression is cell autonomous. (E-E'') Stage 14 egg chamber with a ventral cicfetU6 mutant clone (E, arrow) exhibiting ectopic mirr-lacZ expression (E', arrow) and ectopic appendage material (E", arrow).
