Figure 7: Overexpression of Crb promotes basolateral localization of Dlg5.

From: Dlg5 maintains apical polarity by promoting membrane localization of Crumbs during Drosophila oogenesis

Figure 7

(AD”) In stage 7/8 egg chambers, basolateral spreading of Crb caused by Crb overexpression resulted in increased basolateral localization of Dlg5-GFP (BB”), as compared to the wild type (AA”). Dlg5-GFP localization was not affected in aPKC or Par6 overexpressing follicle epithelia (CD”). (EH”) In wild type stage 7/8 egg chambers, single confocal section (planar sectional view) at the apical and basolateral levels showed that Dlg5-GFP was enriched in the apical domain (EE”) but not in the basolateral domain (FF”). In Crb overexpressing follicle cells, Dlg5-GFP was enriched at both apical (GG”) and basolateral membranes (HH”). act5C-GAL4,tub-GAL80ts was used to drive expression in follicle cells. Scale bars: 10 μm.
