Expression of diaDDFH1FH2.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP under the control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E does not induce significant numbers of ectopic filopodia at the leading edge and there is little effect on protrusions of epidermal cells ventral to the leading edge. Lamellipodial area and filopodial number are significantly increased in leading edge cells. Filopodial lifetime is significantly increased compared to wild type.
Scer\GAL4en-e16E, diaDDFH1FH2.UASp.EGFP, enaUAS.GFP has embryonic leading edge cell phenotype
Scer\GAL4en-e16E, diaDDFH1FH2.UASp.EGFP, enaUAS.GFP has filopodium phenotype
Scer\GAL4en-e16E, diaDDFH1FH2.UASp.EGFP, enaUAS.GFP has lamellipodium phenotype
Co-expression of enaScer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP and diaDDFH1FH2.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP under the control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E in embryos results in fewer filopodia but larger lamellipodia at the leading edge.
