Rho1 maintains formed AJs by regulating membrane trafficking of DE-cadherin. (a) Confocal immunofluorescent localization of DE-cadherin (DE-cad) in Rho172 MARCM clones. (b) Confocal immunofluorescent localization of DE-cadherin in Rho172 MARCM clones expressing Rab5-DN. (a and b) Arrowheads identify AJs between two clonal cells. (c) Quantification of the ratio of border length positive for DE-cadherin immunofluorescence divided by the total border length between two Rho172 clonal cells or two Rho172 clonal cells expressing Rab5-DN or Rab5-RNAi (AJ index; see Table S4). Data are represented as mean ± SD; *, P = 0.000351 for Rho1 null + Rab5-RNAi; **, P = 0.000066 for Rho1 null + Rab5-DN. (d–d″) Confocal immunofluorescent localization of DE-cadherin (d and d′) and Dlg (d and d″) in Rho172 MARCM clones expressing Rab5-CA. Arrowheads identify AJ disruptions between PECs and cone cells. (e and e′) Confocal immunofluorescent localization of DE-cadherin after DE-cadherin endocytosis assay in Rho172 MARCM clones. Arrowheads identify accumulations of internalized DE-cadherin in Rho1-null clones. (f–f′″) Confocal immunofluorescent localization of DE-cadherin (f and f″) and Rho1 (f and f′″) in the pupal eye expressing Rab5-GFP (f and f′). Arrowheads mark colocalizations between Rab5-GFP, DE-cadherin, and Rho1. This image is 0.75 µm basal compared with other pupal eye images. (g) Confocal immunofluorescent localization of DE-cadherin in Rho172 MARCM clones expressing Rab11-DN. Arrowheads identify AJ disruptions between clonal cells and nonclonal cells. (h) Confocal immunofluorescent localization of DE-cadherin in Rho172 MARCM clones expressing Rab7-DN. Arrowheads identify AJ disruptions between clonal cells. Bars, 10 µm.
