(a-c, h-j) Normal dendrite targeting of caps−/− MARCM clones in DL1 single cells (h), DA1 neuroblasts (i) and VA1d/DC3 neuroblasts (j), compared with wild-type (a-c). These PNs are all Caps-negative. n=20 for both wild-type and caps−/−.
(d-g, k-n) Defective dendrite targeting of VC1, VC2, VA4 and DM1 PNs in single-cell caps−/− clones (k-n) compared with wild-type (d-g). These PNs are all Caps-positive. Their identities are determined as described in the Methods.
(o-r) Rescue of dendrite targeting of four Caps-positive PNs by expressing a UAS-caps transgene only in the single-cell clones.
(s-v) Quantification (s, u) and glomerular innervation specificity (t, v) of dendrite targeting defects in single-cell clones of control and caps mutant analyzed in (d-g, k-r). VC2, VA4 and DM1 were analyzed together (see Methods). (s, u) Y-axes represent the percentage of PNs in particular classes that exhibit dendrite mistargeting phenotypes. (t, v) Each black bar indicates the percentage of antennal lobes in which an ectopic glomerulus is innervated. All glomeruli are color-coded at the bottom as in Fig. 2d. VC1 and VC2/VA4/DM1 classes are omitted in t and v, respectively, as they are the ones from which clones were made. (Wild-type: VC1 n=15, VC2 n=15, VA4 n=15, DM1 n=10; caps−/−: VC1 n=7; VC2/VA4/DM1 n=19; Rescue: VC1 n=6, VC2 n=5, VA4 n=6, DM1 n=4).
(w) Schematic representation of the glomerular innervation pattern of individual caps−/− VC1 PNs across three different sections of the antennal lobe. Red glomeruli are the ectopic targets of caps−/− VC1 dendrites.
