Mis-splicing of dsx in females is driven by tra2 and Rbp1D expression. (a) An evaluation of line means indicates that for seven of the nine genotypes, dsxM levels exhibit a parabolic response to tra2 expression. However, two genotypes express much higher levels of dsxM than the other genotypes. (b) These two strains express high levels of Rbp1D. These results indicate that an optimal level of tra2 (high or low levels) should produce the least mis-splicing in females, though some genotypes that express Rbp1D at high levels overcome this pattern, meaning interactions between these two regulators may be complex.
