Fig. 7. Cytoneme-mediated FGF exchange generates niche-specific asymmetric signaling.

Fig. 7

A, B’ XY and YZ views (as indicated) of wing discs expressing mCherryCAAX and either Ths:GFP under ths-Gal4 (A, A”) or Pyr:GFP under pyr-Gal4 (B, B’). C, D’ Images of wing discs harboring mCherryCAAX-marked AMPs; wing discs expressing either Ths:GFP or Pyr:GFP as indicated. AD’ dashed arrow, signal in the source; arrow, non-autonomous punctate distribution in the AMP; *, non-expressing areas of the lacking signal distribution. E, F’ Wing discs expressing either Ths:GFP or Pyr:GFP as indicated, showing niche-specific effects of signal overexpression on proliferation of niche-resident and non-resident AMPs (nls:GFP marked); thick and thin dashed line, interface between AMPs and ths-expression and pyr-expression zones, respectively; dashed and solid arrows, effects on ths-expression and pyr-expression zones, respectively. GJ YZ views of wing discs expressing either Ths:GFP or Pyr:GFP as indicated and harboring mCherryCAAX-marked AMPs, showing disc-invading cytonemes receiving GFP-tagged signal (arrow) from the disc cells; arrowheads, localized signal enrichment in source cells. Scale bars: 20μm; 5 μm (H, H’).
