Figure 1.
Polarized light micrographs of dissected thoraces to show the progressive hypercontraction of hdp2 IFMs and suppression of this phenotype by D53. Each thorax is shown with the anterior-posterior axis running right to left. (A) Wild-type fly dorso-longitudinal IFMs (asterisk). (B) hdp2 pupa at 78 h APF to show the initiation of hypercontraction (arrowhead). (C) hdp2 fly just after emergence showing IFM remnants (arrowheads) after hypercontraction and (D) a hdp2; D53/+ fly showing complete suppression of hdp2 hypercontraction. Bar = 0.120 mm.
