9. 6 clones of a Drosophila embryo cDNA library fused to the transcription activation domain of yeast GAL4 in the vector pGAD10 and isolated three independent partial clones of the d-axin cDNA. A larger partial d-axin cDNA clone (2.7 kb) was isolated by rescreening a λgt11 Drosophila embryo cDNA library with the smaller cDNAs, and the remaining 5′-end region was obtained by the 5′ RACE (rapid amplification of cDNA ends) technique (Clontech). Multiple independent polymerase; chain reaction (PCR) products were analyzed to exclude the possibility of PCR-induced errors. Sequence comparison analysis was performed with the blastp program [S. F. Altschul et al., Nucleic Acids Res. 25, 3389 (1997)].

CST and GST-fusion proteins (2 μg) immobilized to glutathione-Sepharose beads were mixed with in vitro-translated proteins in binding buffer [20 mM tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 140 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 1 mM dithiothreitol, 10% glycerol, 1% Triton X-100, and 10 μg/ml each of aprotinin, leupeptin, and pepstatin) for 1 hour at 4°C. After washing five times with binding buffer, bound proteins were fractionated by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) followed by autoradiography.

22. Using in situ hybridization to polytene chromosomes, we mapped the d-axin gene to 99D in the third chromosome. The genomic P1 clone DS00026 from the Berkeley Drosophila Genome Project contained the genomic region corresponding to the d-axin cDNA. The genomic organization of the d-axin locus and the intron-exon structure were determined by Southern (DNA) blot analysis and subsequent sequencing across the exon-intron boundaries.

24. The GAL4/UAS system was used for overexpression of d-axin [A. H. Brand and N. Perrimon, Development 118, 401 (1993)]. The entire d-axin open reading frames of various constructs were subcloned into the pUAST vector and introduced into the w germ line by the standard P-element transformation method These UAS-d-axin lines were crossed with several GAL4 drivers [ Y. Shiga, M. Tanaka-Matakatsu, S. Hayashi, Dev. Growth Differ. 38, 99 (1996); E. J. Rulifson, C. A. Micchelle, J. D. Axelrod, N. Perrimon, S. S. Blair, Nature 384, 72 (1996)].

27. Germ-line clones of d-axin were generated by use of the FLP-DFS technique [T. B. Chou and N. Perrimon, Genetics 144, 1673 (1996)]. All embryos derived from homozygous d-axin germ-line clones die during embryonic development. The TM3 gfp chromosome was used to determine the zygotic genotype of embryos. Cuticles were prepared and mounted in Hoyer's medium [J. van der Meer, Drosophila Inf. Serv. 52, 160 (1977)], viewed, and photographed under dark field.

32. + for imaginal discs [J. Jiang and G. Struhl, Nature 391, 493 (1998)]. Mutant phenotypes were induced in the mid-second instar larval stage by heat shock at 37°C for 30 min. For the induction of the hip70-myc-gfp gene, wandering larvae were heat shocked at 37°C for 60 min and then processed for immunostaining after a 60-min recovery period at 25°C. The mutant clones can be recognized by the y marker in adults and by the absence of GFP expression in the imaginal discs, respectively.

Wieschaus, Development 120, 369 (1994)] or anti-DII [G. Vachon et al., Cell 71, 437 (1992)]. These antibodies were detected with rhodamine-conjugated goat anti-mouse immunoglobulin G (Jackson Immunochemicals). Confocal fluorescent images were obtained with a Zeiss LSM510 microscope.
