Figure 3. Lsd1 silences engrailed in the escort cells.

Figure 3

(A) A Lsd1 binding peak is observed in the engrailed promoter in escort cells. (B) RT-qPCR of whole ovary extracts from bamΔ86 and bamΔ86 Lsd1ΔN double mutants. The bamΔ86 Lsd1ΔN double mutant samples exhibit a relative 6-fold increase of engrailed transcripts when compared to bamΔ86 mutants. (C and C′) w1118 and (D–E′) Lsd1ΔN homozygous germaria stained for Engrailed (En) (green) and VASA (red) and DNA (blue). Arrows point to Engrailed positive cells. In w1118 control germaria, Engrailed is expressed in the terminal filament and cap cells, whereas Lsd1 mutants display engrailed expression in the anterior escort cells. Scale bars = 10 µM.
