Figure 4From: The DrosophilaSTIM1 orthologue, dSTIM, has roles in cell fate specification and tissue patterningdSTIM regulates mechanosensory bristle differentiation. Dorsal view of the adult wild-type (wt) notum (A), showing the position and orientation of single michrochaete (mC) and macrochaete (MC) mechanosensory bristles. Flies expressing dSTIMRNAidriven by pnr.Gal4 exhibit a partially bald cuticle lacking mC over the pannier expression domain (dotted ring) (B), while flies overexpressing dSTIMFLexhibit misorientated and duplicated bristles when induced by pnr.Gal4 (C), or sca..Gal4 (inset C).Back to article page
