34. + chromosome. The cells in these ci clones are haplo fourth. In Fig. 1G, we show an example of a true recombination event between the fourth chromosome arms. The irregular shape of the twin spot indicates that all aspects of ci clones can be attributed to the lack of ci activity.
35. The full-length ci cDNA was inserted into the vector pUAST [A. H. Brand and N. Perrimon, Development 118, 401 (1993)]. Three independent UAS-Ci strains were analyzed.

37. The inability of ectopically expressed Ci to repress hh in en-expressing cells may be due to the existence of a Ci cofactor (X) that, like ci, is present only in A cells as a result of direct en repression. In P cells that lack en activity, both the expression of ci and that of the hypothetical factor X will be derepressed, resulting in hh repression.

43. S2. ptc mutant clones were detected by two methods: (i) by the loss of the CD2 marker within the ptc mutant tissue and (ii) by the ectopic expression of dpp-lacZ (11, 23-25). Transcription of ci was monitored by means of an enhancer trap line in the ci locus.

45. En expression is not reduced in P cells that ectopically express Ci (21). Therefore, high levels of Ci can override the partial repression of dpp expression by En [M. Sanicola, J. J. Sekelsky, S. Elson, W. M. Gelbart, Genetics 139, 745 (1995)].
46. +/+ flies were found in the progeny.

48. Ptc expression is readily induced in all P cells, even by relatively low ectopic Ci expression levels (40), suggesting that, unlike dpp (28), ptc is not negatively regulated by En. Therefore, ptc expression is normally restricted to A cells because ci is not expressed in P cells. We observe higher levels of ptc expression in P cells than in A cells presumably because Ptc protein in P cells is inactive in repressing ptc expression because P cells are continuously exposed to the Hedgehog signal.

57. W discs show a low level of ci misexpressed in the P compartment. This results in the transcriptional activation of ptc in P cells, indicating that ci positively regulates ptc transcription and that restriction of ptc expression to A cells by en is mediated indirectly by preventing ci expression in P cells.
