Fig. 2. Stabilized Cyclin A does not inhibit PIM-myc degradation. Stabilized Cyclin
A was expressed in alternating segments using prd-GAL4 and
UAS-CycA
1170 (which results in a more
extensive metaphase delay than UAS-CycA
1-53, shown in
Fig. 1). In addition, the
embryos expressed PIM-myc under control of the pim regulatory region
throughout the epidermis. Epidermal regions with expression of stabilized
Cyclin A on the right but not on the left side of the dashed line are shown at
high magnification after labeling with a DNA stain (A, B; DNA, red in B),
anti-Cyclin B (B,C; CYCB, green in B) and anti-myc (D, PIM-myc). Arrested
metaphase cells in regions with stabilized Cyclin A were found to lack PIM-myc
(see arrowheads).
