Fig. 9. RafDN suppressed the effects of dibeta on receptor localisation and matrix integrity. (A-D) Confocal sections of wing imaginal discs expressing dibeta (A,C) or dibeta+RafDN (B,D) using the patch-GAL4 line (ptcG4) (inset in A). (A) Staining for betaPS (green) shows that expression of dibeta 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 dibeta 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 dibeta using the engrailed-GAL4 line (enG4) MAPK activity is now detected in the whole posterior compartment.
