Fig. 4. Distribution of wild-type or mutated CSP forms in wild-type (w1118; A,C),
and in cDna1, Ssp, Cslp, Clp and
Scsp-transformed flies in CspU1 null mutant
background (B,DG), and in hypomorphic mutant CspU2
(H). Horizontal frozen head sections. Sections A+B, C+D, were stained on the
same microscope slides and processed identically for better comparison. There
are no clear differences in staining between wild type (A) and cDna1;
CspU1 rescue (B). SSP (D) and CLP (F) distribute homogeneously
throughout cellular rind (CR) or retina (R), fiber tracts such as the optic
chiasms (OC) and neuropil (NP). CSLP (E) apparently is targeted to synaptic
neuropil less efficiently than WT CSPs. Scsp;CspU1
preparations (G) demonstrate low abundance of SCSP but normal targeting of
this isoform to synaptic neuropil. Specificity of staining is demonstrated by
comparison with the null mutant CspU1 (I). Scale bar, 100
µm.
