Fig. 6. Dystroglycan and Dsytrophin are mutually dependent for basal membrane localization.

Fig. 6

(A) In a wild-type ovariole, Dys is expressed in the muscular sheath (star) and at the basal membrane of the follicle cells. (B) In a Dg323 follicle cell clone, Dys (red) is lost from the basal membrane. (C) Expression of dsDys (Dys-hairpin) efficiently reduces Dys expression (red). (D) Reduction of Dys leads to a reduction of Dg (red) in the basal membrane. (E) In a trol clone, Dys is no longer concentrated at the basal membrane but diffusely localized in the cytoplasm. All follicle cell clones are marked with broken lines. Filled arrowheads indicate the wild type; open arrows indicate the mutant expression pattern. (B’-E’) Red channels only. Blue indicates DNA.
