Pipe-Dependent Ventral Processing of Easter by Snake Is the Defining Step in Drosophila Embryo DV Axis Formation  Yong Suk Cho, Leslie M.

Figure 1 Processing of Easter and Spätzle, but Not of Gastrulation Defective and Snake, Is Dependent upon Pipe Activity (A) Processing of GD-GFP in embryos from females expressing GD-GFP in various dorsal-group mutant backgrounds. Maternal dorsal-group phenotypes are shown at the top of each lane. The position of molecular weight markers (in kD) is shown at left. In this and all subsequent panels showing the results of Western blot analysis, the arrow followed by “z” indicates the position of the unprocessed, zymogen form of the fusion protein, and the arrowhead followed by “c” indicates the position of the cleaved form of the fusion protein. (B) Processing of Ea-GFP in embryos from females expressing GD-GFP in various dorsal-group mutant backgrounds. Note the presence of bands representing the Ea-GFP-X and Ea-GFP-XX forms of the protein, corresponding to processed forms of the protein complexed with Spn27A (marked with a single asterisk and two asterisks, respectively). The identification of the 63 kD species as the cleaved form of Ea-GFP, not bound to Spn27A, is confirmed by its comigration with the EaΔN-GFP construct (far right lane), which corresponds to the putative processed catalytic region of Easter fused to GFP. (C) Processing of Spz-GFP in embryos from females expressing Spz-GFP in wild-type, pipe, and ea mutant backgrounds. The identity of the cleaved form of Spz-GFP is confirmed by its comigration with SpzΔN-GFP, which corresponds to the putative Toll-binding domain of Spätzle, fused to GFP (far right lane). (D) Processing of Snk-GFP in embryos from females expressing Snk-GFP in various genetic backgrounds. The identity of the processed form of Snake-GFP is confirmed by its comigration with SnkΔN-GFP, which corresponds to the catalytic domain of Snake, fused to GFP (far right lane).

Figure 2 Increased Pipe Expression Leads to an Increase in the Processing of Easter and Spätzle, but Not to Increased Processing of Snake (A) Cuticle preparations of embryos from females expressing Snk-HA (left column), Ea-HA (middle column), and Spz-HA (right column), in the absence (top row) or presence (bottom row) of hsp70-pipe. Note that for each transgene, expression in females together with the hsp7-pipe transgene leads to the production of embryos with a more strongly ventralized phenotype. (B) Processing of Ea-HA in embryos from females expressing the fusion protein in an otherwise wild-type background (lane 1 at left), in a wild-type background together with the hsp70-pipe transgene (lane 2), and in a pipe mutant background (pipe genotype = pipe1/pipe3). The arrow followed by “z” indicates the position of the zymogen form of the protein. Note that the increase in Ea-HA processing observed in the presence of hsp70-pipe is detected as increased amounts of Ea-HA-X (asterisk). No Ea-HA-X is detected in extracts of embryos from pipe mutant mothers (far right lane). (C) Processing of Spz-HA in embryos from females expressing the fusion protein in the absence (left lane) or presence (right lane) of the constitutively expressed hsp70-pipe transgene. The arrow followed by “z” indicates the position of the zymogen form of the protein, and the arrowhead followed by “c” indicates the position of the cleaved form of the protein. (D) Processing of Snk-HA in embryos from females expressing the fusion protein in the absence (left lane) or presence (right lane) of the constitutively expressed hsp70-pipe transgene. For (B), (C), and (D), the positions of molecular-weight markers, in kD, are shown at left.

Figure 3 Coprecipitation of Snake and Easter Is Not Dependent upon Pipe Activity (A) Extracts from embryos produced by females expressing Snk-GFP either with (left and middle lanes) or in the absence of (right lane) Ea-HA were subjected to immunoprecipitation with anti-HA. Extracts were divided into two portions and subjected to Western blot analysis with anti-HA (to detect the precipitated Ea-HA) (bottom panel) and with anti-GFP (to detect the coprecipitating Snk-GFP) (top panel). Note that Snk-GFP zymogen coprecipitated with Ea-HA from extracts of embryos from otherwise wild-type (left lanes) or pipe1/pipe3 females (middle lanes). The arrowhead in the top panel indicates the position of putative processed Snk-GFP coprecipitated from pipe1/pipe3 mutant-derived embryos, and the arrowhead in the bottom panel indicates the position of Ea-X precipitated from wild-type-derived embryos. (B) Cuticle preparations of embryos from females expressing Ea-HA together with Snk-GFP in otherwise wild-type (top panel) or pipe1/pipe3 (bottom panel) females. Note that despite the fact that Ea-HA and Snk-GFP coprecipitate in embryos from pipe mutant mothers (see Figure 3A), the embryos are dorsalized. (C) Extracts of embryos from otherwise wild-type females expressing various fusion proteins (indicated by +'s at top) were subjected to immunoprecipitation using anti-HA. Immunoprecipitates were subjected to Western blot analysis using anti-GFP to detect coprecipitating proteins. The positions of Snk-GFP (arrow, top panel), EaΔN-GFP (arrowhead, top panel), Easter-HA zymogen (white asterisks, bottom panel), and Snk-HA zymogen (arrowhead, bottom panel) are indicated. Note that coprecipitation of Snake by Easter required the presence of the Snake prodomain (compare lanes 1 and 2) but not the prodomain of Easter (lane 3).

Figure 4 Functional Interactions between the Perivitelline Space-Localized Components of the Dorsal-Group Signal Transduction Pathway “z” and “c” refer to the zymogen and the cleaved, activated forms of Nudel, GD, Snake, Easter and Spätzle. Vertical arrows indicate processing events in which precursor proteins are converted to their active products. Horizontal and diagonal arrows indicate the effectors required for each of the processing events. The curved arrows that connect Ndl-z and Ndl-c indicate that Ndl undergoes activation by autoprocessing. The dotted line indicates that although processed Ndl is required for the formation of processed GD, it is unknown whether Ndl directly processes GD. Other structures and molecules are as labeled in the figure. Note that the pathway leading to processed Spz is branched. Snake processing and Pipe-target-mediated facilitation of Easter processing by Snake are independently required for the formation of the Toll ligand.
