Yellow fluorescent protein (YFP) tagged Merlin, endogenously expressed, is highly localized at the apical domain of living wing imaginal disc cells, predominately at the junctional and medial cortex.
A clone of wing imaginal disc cells (green) expressing dominant-negative Moesin crawling over the surface of the epithelium (epithelial marker red).
Drosophila larval salivary gland, a monolayered epithelial tube, expressing Merlin-GFP (green) and stained with propidium iodide (nuclei; red).
Optical section of a fold in the Drosophila wing epithelium stained for Moesin (red, apical membrane), E-cadherin (blue, adherens junctions) and Coracle (green, septate junctions).
Optical section of the Drosophila wing epithelium stained for actin (red) and Coracle (green) a component of the septate junction.
