Ectopic Abd-B affects Dpp-dependent EMT and progenitor differentiation in the IPC. (A-B′) Unlike in controls (A,A′), dpp-lacZ expression (blue) at the anterior-posterior boundary (arrow) was repressed in Pcl3-78*38 ELF mosaic wing imaginal discs (B,B′, asterisk). (C-E) Unlike in controls (C), Pcl3-78*38 ELF mosaics (D) showed small Fas3-positive (red) clusters (arrowheads) close to the p-IPC (dashed line). These were dpp-lacZ negative (blue, D′) and Abd-B positive (red, E, inset). (F) hs-FLPout clones (green) expressing ectopic Abd-B formed small clusters (arrowheads) adjacent to p-IPC (dashed line) subdomains and downregulated dpp-lacZ (blue; inset, white; arrowheads). (G) Model of Pcl function in p-IPC subdomains. (H-J′) Progenitor cell streams between the p-IPC and d-IPC in esgMH766-Gal4, UAS-cd8GFP (green) animals did not express Ase (blue) (H,H′). Pcl3-78*38 mutant progenitors (green) generated by MARCM ectopically expressed Ase (blue, arrows) (I,I′). Ectopic expression of Abd-B using the hs-FLPout approach had the same effect (J,J′, arrows).
