Fc-Pax6 exhibits weaker transactivation ability than Cd-Pax6.
(A–B’) Ectopic Drosophila-type eyes induced by intact Fc-Pax6 and Cd-Pax6 driven by dpp-GAL4 and ap-GAL4. Black arrows indicate the positions of ectopic eyes. (A) dpp-GAL4 > UAS-Fc-Pax6 (A’) ap-GAL4 > UAS-Fc-Pax6. (B) dpp-GAL4 > UAS-Cd-Pax6 (B’) ap-GAL4 > UAS-Cd-Pax6. (C) Comparison of the positions of ectopic eyes induced by Fc-Pax6 and Cd-Pax6 (“+” indicates that ectopic eyes exist and “−” indicates a lack of ectopic eyes). (D) Comparison of the sizes of ectopic eyes (** indicates significant differences). (E–H) SEM images of compound eyes of wild-type Drosophila (E,F) and ectopic eyes on dpp-GAL4 > UAS-Cd-Pax6 (G,H) (red arrows indicate unusual caves or missing bristle on ommatidia).
