CIL:13746

Boi (green) and Hedgehog (Hh, red) are expressed in apical cells of the Drosophila wild-type germarium (CIL# 13744). In the absence of boi (boi[e] mutant), Hh is redistributed from apical cells to the extracellular space of the local follicle stem cell niche (CIL# 13745). Expression of Boi in apical cells in the boi[e] mutant (boi[e]; UAS-Boi/+; babGal4/+) rescues Hh localization to apical cells (this image). However, expression of a Boi mutant lacking the Hh-binding domain does not (CIL# 13747). Nuclei are labeled (DRAQ5, blue). Image is Fig 3C in J Cell Biol. 2010. 191: 943-952. Images in Fig 3 include CIL# 13744, 13745, 13746, 13747, 13748.
