Construct: Dl1 cDNA, which contains the entire coding sequence from the major embryonic Dl transcript (FBrf0048107), expression is driven by MtnA promoter.
S2 cells expressing DlMtnA.PF can form homotypic aggregates.
S2 cells that express DlC301S.MtnA or DlC301Y.MtnA are able to bind to and aggregate with N-expressing cells at significant, albeit reduced, frequencies compared to S2 cells that express DlMtnA.PF.
S2 cells expressing DlMtnA.PF can form heterotypic aggregates with S2 cells expressing NMGIIa.MtnA.
In S2 cells treated with p115dsRNA.cKa for 96hrs, the percentage of cells with at least one golgi stack is the same before and after DlMtnA.PF induction.
Carried in a plasmid, and transfected into S2 cells. The different Dl isoforms in these cells have been characterised. Also used in assays to determine whether trans-endocytosis of Dl by N expressing cells is dependent on the Dl intracellular domain.
Carried in plasmid "DeltaWT", transfected into S2 cells and used in aggregation assays to compare the affinity of Dl and N proteins with that of Ser and N proteins.
Carried in a plasmid and transfected into S2 cells.
Carried in a plasmid, transfected into S2 cells and EH34A3 cells (a shi1 cell line) and used to determine whether intercellular trafficking of N protein requires shi-dependent subcellular trafficking of Dl protein.
Expressed in S2 cells, purified and used as a substrate for glycosylation assays in vitro.
Carried in plasmid " pMT:DeltaWT " and transfected into S3 cells. Also transfected into S2 cells and used in cell-cell aggregation assays.
Transfected into S2 cells.
DlMtnA.PF is used to monitor the flow of endosomes in the golgi and endoplasmic reticulum.
Carried in a plasmid and transfected S2 cells for use in cell aggregation assays.
Carried in plasmid "pMtDl" and expressed in Schneider S2 cells upon CuSO4 induction. Protein signalling indicates proper sorting amd membrane insertion of the protein.
Carried in a plasmid, transfected into Schneider S2 cells, and used to study the ability of numb to inhibit Dl-dependent N activity.
Carried in a plasmid, transfected into Schneider S2 cells and the effects of exogenous Dl on Xenopus retinal eye development is assayed by filling the eye cup with S2 cells (S2 cells have access to the vitreal surface of the retina).
