Fig. 9. RafDN suppressed the effects of di
on receptor localisation and matrix integrity. (A-D) Confocal sections of wing imaginal discs expressing di
(A,C) or di
+RafDN (B,D) using the patch-GAL4 line (ptcG4) (inset in A). (A) Staining for
PS (green) shows that expression of di
inhibits integrin recruitment to focal adhesions. (B) Coexpression of RafDN in these cells substantially rescues endogenous integrin distribution. (C,D) Coexpression of RafDN also suppresses the ability of di
to disorganise the basal matrix (green), compare the appearance of the matrix within the patch domain in C with that in D. Bar, 20 µm. (E) In wild-type larval third-instar discs MAPK activation is detected specifically in all veins and in the wing margin. (F) In wing imaginal discs expressing di
using the engrailed-GAL4 line (enG4) MAPK activity is now detected in the whole posterior compartment.
