Source was embryos of transgenic fly line; bait produced from tagged transgenic construct; prey produced from tagged transgenic construct.
Embryos were collected overnight and incubated at 4 degrees C for 28 hrs prior to BiFC detection.
KEINEQ/KAAAAA Decreases the strength of the interaction in the embryonic epidermis.
YPWM/YAAA Increases the strength of the interaction in the embryonic epidermis and the mesoderm, but not the nervous system.
Interaction in embryo; bait produced from tagged transgenic construct; prey produced from tagged transgenic construct.
To visualize the interaction, both proteins were tagged with a complementary fragment of the Venus fluorophore. Proximity of the two proteins resulted in reconstitution of the fluorescent protein.
