Src-phosphorylated p120-catenin recruits Anillin to the junctions. a The effect of constitutively active and dominant negative RhoA on vSrc-driven extrusion. Embryos were injected with the following constructs: dUAS:EGFP-vSrc, dUAS:EGFP-vSrc;CA-RhoA or dUAS:EGFP-vSrc;DN-RhoA. The two graphs display cells Apically extruded (outside of the embryo) and Tall (within the monolayer but taller than neighbours). Data are mean ± s.d. of 3 independent experiments (total number of embryos: nSrc = 35; nSrc,CA-RhoA = 38; nSrc,DN-RhoA = 36). *P < 0.05 (Student’s t-test). b A schematic model of the domain composition of p120-catenin. In green are phosphorylation sites regulated by the Src kinase (from: PhosphoSitePlus database). In the bottom panel, a design of p120-catenin mutant with two sites regulating the interaction between p120-catenin and RhoA44. These sites are mutated from Y to F (p120-mutFF). c The effect of phosphomimetic p120-mutFF on vSrc-driven extrusion. Embryos were injected with the following constructs: dUAS:EGFP-vSrc;p120-wt or dUAS:EGFP-vSrc;p120-mutFF. Data are mean ± s.d. of three independent experiments (total number of embryos: nSrc,p120-wt = 34; nSrc,p120-mutFF = 42). *P < 0.05 (Student’s t-test). d, e Time-lapse imaging of the effect of phosphomimetic p120-mutEE on the localisation of Anillin-GFP in cells arrested at the G2/M transition. Embryos were injected with a combination of the following constructs: dUAS:Cherry-Wee1;CA-Cdc25 and dUAS:p120-mutEE;Anillin-GFP. Movies were taken over 4 h. Frames were extracted from a representative movie at indicated times from the tailbud stage in xy (d) and xz (e) view. Scale bars, 40 µm (d) and 20 µm (e). f Time-lapse imaging of Anillin-GFP localisation in cells arrested at the G2/M transition. Embryos were injected with a combination of the following constructs: dUAS:Cherry-Wee1;CA-Cdc25 and dUAS:myr-Cherry;Anillin-GFP. Movies were taken over 4 h. Frames were extracted from a representative movie at indicated times from the tailbud stage. Scale bars, 50 µm. g Time-lapse imaging of the effect of p120-mutFF on the localisation of Anillin-GFP in cells arrested at the G2/M transition. Embryos were injected with a combination of the following constructs: dUAS:Cherry-Wee1;CA-Cdc25 and dUAS:p120-mutFF;Anillin-GFP. Movies were taken over 4 h. Frames were extracted from a representative movie at indicated times from the tailbud stage. Scale bars, 25 µm
