EMC3, EMC5, and EMC6 were not required for maturation of the Rh1 protein. a Rh1 localized to the rhabdomere region in emc3, emc5, and emc6 mutant photoreceptor cells. Tangential resin-embedded retina sections of compound eyes from ~1-day-old wt, emc3G7, emc3G7;ninaE-emc3, emc5G2, emc5G2;ninaE-emc5, emc6N10, and ninaE-emc6;emc6N10 flies were labeled using antibodies against Rh1. Rhabdomeres are indicated by arrows. Scale bar is 2 μm. Illustration of photoreceptor cells within a single ommatidium is on the top right corner, and rhabdomeres of R1-R7 photoreceptor cells are indicated by numbers. b Deglycosylation of Rh1 is normal in emc3, emc5, and emc6 mutants. Head extracts prepared from 1-day-old wild-type, ninaA, dmppee02905, emc3G7, emc5G2, and emc6N10 flies were probed with antibodies against Rh1, and mature and immature bands are indicated. Extracts from ninaA and emc6N10 flies (10 heads), emc3G7 and emc5G2 flies (5 heads), and wild-type and dmppee02905 flies (0.25 of a head) were loaded. ce Similar Rh1 levels were seen in (c) emc3G7 and emc3G7;hrd11 flies (ey-flp rh1-GFP;emc3G7 FRT40A/GMR-hid CL FRT40A;FRT82B hrd11/FRT82B GMR-hid CL), d emc5G2 and emc5G2;hrd11 flies (ey-flp rh1-GFP;emc5G2 FRT40A/GMR-hid CL FRT40A;FRT82B hrd11/FRT82B GMR-hid CL), and e emc6N10 and emc6N10 hrd11 (ey-flp rh1-GFP; FRT82B emc6N10 hrd11/FRT82B GMR-hid CL) flies. Protein extracts from 0.25 of a head from ~1-day-old flies were loaded
