Segmentally repeated pattern of expression of a cell surface glycoprotein in Drosophila embryos

A Gauger, MA Glicksman, R Salatino, JM Condie, G Schubiger and DL Brower
Department of Zoology, University of Washington, Seattle 98195.

We report here that a previously described cell surface antigen (Brower, Smith & Wilcox, 1980) is expressed in a segmentally repeating pattern of stripes in the epidermis and nervous system of segmented Drosophila embryos. We also report that the antigenic activity is found on two closely related cell surface glycoproteins. The pattern of expression of this antigen is reminiscent of the expression of some segmentation genes and is affected by mutation of at least two of these genes, fushi tarazu and paired. Thus these glycoproteins are candidates for cell surface molecules involved in carrying out the patterning processes controlled by segmentation genes.
