Stellate derepression analysis. Western blots of testis extracts probed with anti-Stellate antibodies are shown. Mutations in bel (A), tud (B), and cuff (D) cause no Stellate derepression, whereas mutations in vasa [vasEP812/vasD1, vasEP812/vasPH165 (E), and vasEP812 (F)], ago3 (F), and squ (C) lead to Stellate hyperexpression. Testes of crystal (cry) and yw flies were used as positive and negative controls, respectively. Anti-actin antibodies were used as a loading control. Anti-Vasa and anti-VIG antibodies were used for the analysis of vasa allelic combinations presented in E. Note trace Stellate derepression in the vasEP812/vasPD hypomorphic combination. vasEP812 mutant presented in F expresses neither VIG nor Vasa proteins ( Vagin et al., 2004; Gracheva et al., 2009).
