Figure 7From: Cleavage of Armadillo/beta-catenin by the caspase DrICE in Drosophilaapoptotic epithelial cellsRescue potential of ArmΔN-88. Larval cuticles were prepared from wildtype (A), armYD35 hemizygous (B), armYD35 expressing wildtype Arm (C) or armYD35 expressing an N-terminal deletion of Arm, ArmΔN-88 (D). Ectopic expression was achieved using the UAS/Gal4 system and arm::Gal4 as a driver line. Note that armYD35 has a strongly shortened cuticle lacking anterior and head structures. Wildtype Arm and ArmΔN-88 are able to partially suppress both the segmentation defect and cuticle formation.Back to article page
