  Fig. S1. The vitelline membrane of Cad99C mutant eggshells is unevenly deposited and displays holes. (A-D) Electron micrographs of sections through (A-C) stage 10B, or (D) stage-12 egg chambers of (A) control Cad99C^57A/+ or (B,C) mutant Cad99C^57A/57A, or (D) mutant Cad99C^57A/51C flies. The vitelline membrane (Vm) is unevenly deposited in the mutant egg chambers and is not detected at some sites. Oo, oocyte; Fc, Follicle cells. Bars, 2 mm (A-D).

  Fig. S2. Cad99C does not appear to be required for the normal morphology of wing imaginal disc cell microvilli. (A,B) Electron micrographs of columar wing imaginal disc cells of (A) heterozygous Cad99C^57A/+ or (B) homozygous mutant Cad99C^57A/57A late third instar larvae. (C) Quantification of the length of columnar cell microvilli does not reveal a significant difference in the length of mutant (Cad99C^57A/57A) and control (Cad99C^57A/+) microvilli (n of control = 494 and n of mutant = 552, P=0.27). Bars, 530 nm (A,B).
