Repression of superoxide production by Crb is crucial for epithelial integrity. (A–L) Panels show a portion of the lateral epidermis of late-stage embryos immunostained for Fasciclin 3 (Fas3; A, C, E, G, I, and K) or a cuticle preparation (B, D, F, H, J, and L) for the following genotypes: wild-type (A and B), crb11A22 (null allele; C and D), daGAL4/UAS-Sod1 (overexpression of Sod1 in a wild-type background; E and F), crb11A22, daGAL4/crb11A22, UAS-Sod1 (overexpression of Sod1 in a crb11A22 mutant background; G and H), UAS-p35; daGAL4 (expression of BacA/p35 in a wild-type background; I and J), or UAS-p35; crb11A22/crb11A22, daGAL4 (expression of BacA/p35 in a crb11A22 mutant background; K and L). (M and N) Panels show Crb staining (M) or costaining of Crb and Dlg (N; red and green, respectively) in the ventral epidermis of a stage 16 Rac heterozygous mutant embryo (ptcGAL4/+; Rac1J11, Rac2Δ, MtlΔ/+). (O and P) Crb staining or staining of Crb (red) and Dlg (green) in the ventral epidermis of a stage 16 embryo knockdown for Nox and heterozygous for Rac (ptcGAL4/UAS-shRNA Nox; Rac1J11, Rac2Δ, MtlΔ/+). Bars: (A, C, E, G, I, and K) 10 µm; (B, D, F, H, J, and L) 100 µm; (M–P) 10 µm.
