Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Overview of the HA tools comprising FB-GFP, deGradHA, GrabHA Ext , GrabHA Int and GrabHA-ECM. NSlmb = N-terminal part of Slmb, CDS = coding sequence, SP = signal peptide, TM = transmembrane domain, aa = amino acids. (B) anti-pMad and anti-Brk staining of wing discs expressing HA-Dpp, GrabHA Ext in dpp producing cells or a combination of both. Anterior-posterior compartment boundary is marked by red dashed line. Scale bars: 50 μm. (C) Anti-Brk and anti-BrdU staining of wing discs expressing HA-or YFP-tagged versions of Brk either alone or in combination with the indicated tool in the dorsal compartment using ap-Gal4. Red dashed lines mark dorso-ventral compartment boundary. Adult wings carrying HA-or YFP-tagged versions of Brk either alone or in combination with overexpression of GrabHA Int or iGFPi throughout the wing pouch using nub-Gal4. Scale bars: 50 μm (wing discs), 250 μm (adult wings).
