Drosophila Crumbs Is Required to Inhibit Light-Induced Photoreceptor Degeneration  Kevin Johnson, Ferdi Grawe, Nicola Grzeschik, Elisabeth Knust  Current Biology  Volume 12, Issue 19, Pages 1675-1680 (October 2002) DOI: 10.1016/S0960-9822(02)01180-6

Figure 1 Expression of Crumbs in Adult Eyes and Morphogenetic Defects in crb Mutant Ommatidia (A–D) (A–C) Horizontal optical sections of wild-type adult retinae stained with anti-Crumbs (red) and anti-Armadillo (green) and (D) crb11A22 eyes stained with FITC-phalloidin. Crumbs and Armadillo extend along the entire length of the photoreceptor apex in nonoverlapping belts. The distal and proximal ZA contacts between cone cells and photoreceptors are enriched for Armadillo. The highest F-actin concentration is seen in rhabdomeres and the proximal feet of cone and pigment cells (arrow). Rhabdomeres of mutant cells are short and thick and do not reach the basal lamina. (E and F) Optical cross-sections through (E) wild-type and (F) crb11A22 mosaic ommatidia of adult eyes, stained with anti-Crumbs (red) and FITC-phalloidin (green). Crumbs is localized in the stalk membrane adjacent to the rhabdomeres. In (F), note that the mosaic ommatidia (left) is composed of mutant and wild-type cells. The scale bars represent 10 μm in (A)–(D) and 5 μm in (E) and (F). (A–D) The distal pole points to the top and contains the lens.

Figure 2 Mutant Phenotypes in adult crb11A22 Ommatidia (A and B) Cross-sections through (A) wild-type and (B) crb11A22 mutant eyes kept in constant illumination for 7 days. Most mutant photoreceptor cells have degenerated. (C and D) (C) Distal and (D) more proximal cross-sections (15 μm apart) through the same crb11A22 mosaic eye kept under low-light conditions (5 weeks old). Wild-type ommatidia are identifiable by the presence of pigment granules in the surrounding pigment cells. Note the absence of most mutant rhabdomeres in (D) at a sectional level of less than 50% (the asterisk in [C] and [D] indicates the same ommatidium). (E–H) Electron micrographs of distal sections of (E and G) wild-type and (F and H) crb11A22 mutant ommatidia. Mutant rhabdomeres are thicker and often make contact with each other. (H) The stalk membrane (sm; bracket) is reduced in size in mutant photoreceptor cells. The ZAs (arrow) between photoreceptor cells are present in the distal region of most mutant ommatidia. The tightly packed microvilli in the rhabdomere and the rhabdomere base (arrowhead) appear to be unaffected. The scale bars represent 2 μm in (E) and (F) and 1 μm in (G) and (H); pg, pigment granule.

Figure 3 Light-Induced Retinal Degeneration in crb11A22 Photoreceptor Cells and Its Rescue by Overexpression of p35 and through a Vitamin A-Deficient Diet (A–D) Electron micrographs of distal cross-sections through crb11A22 adult ommatidia exposed to constant light for (A) 1 day, (B) 5 days, or (C and D) 7 days. While photoreceptor cells show morphogenetic defects, no degeneration is initially observed. However, in time, progressively more photoreceptors show signs of PCD. (D) This panel illustrates higher magnification of a single photoreceptor cell to demonstrate a round nucleus with condensed nucleoplasm, a condensed cytoplasm, and remnants of the rhabdomere in devolution (arrow). It seems to be engulfed by a cytoplasmic finger of a neighboring cell. (E and F) Distal cross-sections through crb11A22 ; GMR-p35 eyes exposed to constant light for 7 days. Many photoreceptors survive but show similar morphogenetic defects to crb11A22 eyes kept in low light (compare with Figures 2C and 2F). (G–J) Sections of (G and H) wild-type and (I and J) crb11A22 eyes of flies raised on (G) standard or on (H–J) vitamin A-deficient medium [18], after 7 days under constant illumination. Note that rhabdomere size is significantly reduced in (H)–(J). Photoreceptor cells of crb11A22 ommatidia survive, and rhabdomeres are present. They exhibit the crb-specific morphogenetic defects (compare with Figures 2C and 2F). The scale bars represent 5 μm in (E) and (G)–(I); 2 μm in (A)–(C), (F), and (J); and 1 μm in (D).

Figure 4 Different Requirements of Crumbs Protein Domains in the Eye (A and B) Cross-section of crb8F105 mosaic eyes kept in the (A) dark and (B) exposed to constant light for 14 days. Mutant ommatidia are recognized by the absence of pigment granules. Morphogenetic defects are observed in both cases, but no light-induced degeneration occurs (compare to Figures 2B and 2C). (C–F) (C and D) Cross-section and (E and F) transverse section of (C and E) crb8F105 ; GMR-crbintra eyes kept in the dark and (D and F) crb11A22 ; GMR-crbintra eyes exposed to constant light for 7 days. While morphogenetic defects in crb8F105 ommatidia are largely rescued by the expression of the intracellular domain (note that many rhabdomeres reach the basal lamina [arrowheads]), crb11A22-associated retinal degeneration is not rescued. The scale bar represents 5 μm in (A)–(D) and 10 μm in (E) and (F). Note that (C) is a proximal section, while (A), (B), and (D) are distal sections close to the lens.
