Figure 2. The Corto chromodomain is a chromatin-targeting module.

Figure 2

(A) Squash of salivary gland polytene chromosomes from an esg::Gal4>UAS::FH-cortoCD-231 third instar larva. Anti-FLAG immunostaining shows that FH-CortoCD binds chromatin at many sites (left: DAPI, middle: anti-FLAG, right: merge). Arrow-heads point to DAPI-free Corto bands. (B) Magnifications of the tip of polytene chromosome 3L (bands 61 to 63) from third instar larvae, either esg::Gal4>UAS::FH-cortoCD immunostained with anti-FLAG antibody or w1118 immunostained with anti-Corto antibody (DAPI, immunostaining, merge). Bottom: conformity between endogenous Corto and FH-CortoCD binding sites.
