Effects of overproduced Nkd on planar cell polarity. (A) Wild-type (WT) wing pattern in region distal to posterior cross vein; same area shown in B–E. (B) Effect of overproduction of Nkd, which is similar to the phenotype shown in C, but different to the phenotypes shown in D and E. (C) Phenotype of loss of dsh function (dsh1 allele). (D) Phenotype of loss of frizzled function (fzJ22 allele). (E) Phenotype of loss of prickle function (pk30 allele). Arrows indicate hair orientation. (F) Wild-type wing pattern in the area shown in G and H: region posterior to vein 5. (G) Phenotype of heat shock promoter-driven frizzled expression. (H) Phenotype of heat shock promoter–driven fz expression in the presence of UAS-nkd. Almost complete suppression of polarity defects by Nkd overexpression is observed. High magnification shows that fz overexpression also induces double hair cells (G inset) and that their number decreases in the presence of Nkd (H inset).
