FIGURE 5:

While core AJ proteins remain at cell junctions at stage 9 after Rap1 RNAi, their cortical localization becomes less continuous and defects in junctional Baz localization continue or intensify. (A, B) In WT (A) Arm, Cno, and Pyd remain at junctions in both mitotic and columnar cells. After Rap1 RNAi (B) junctional Arm, Cno, and Pyd become less continuous in both cell populations. (C, D) In WT (C) Baz is strong in nonmitotic cells and weaker in mitotic cells. After Rap1 RNAi (D), Baz localization to junctions is reduced and fragmented.
