Cpr56F partially localises to those tissues that also express Pro-Resilin-GFP. A In the adult fly (female, A' male), Cpr56F-GFP is present as large or small patches in the head, the legs and the abdomen. B All leg joints are marked by Cpr56F-GFP (triangles). C Cpr56F-GFP is present in the wing basis (wa) and in the proximal rim of the marginal cell (mc). D The edge of the back head contains Cpr56F-GFP (ps). D′ The cibarium and the labellum are framed by a strong GFP signal (ci, lb. and pt). E The male abdominal ending is marked by a patch of Cpr56F-GFP signal (ap). Also, their spiracles are marked by Cpr56F-GFP (sp). F Cpr56F-GFP localises to the spermathecae of females (st). Their tracheal endings also contain Cpr56F-GFP (sp). The end of the female abdomen shows a distinct Cpr56F-GFP signal (ap). The GFP signal was merged with the bright-field image in AF. Images were recorded on a Leica DMi8 microscope. Details of the microscope settings are described in the “Methods” section. Labelling: Ap, anal plate; br, bristle; ci, cibarium; co, coxa; fr, femur; it, integument; lb, labellum; mc, marginal cell; ps, ptilinal suture; ptr, pretarsus; sp, spiracle; st, spermatheca; tb, tibia; th, trochanter; tr, tarsus; txs, thorax, exact location of signal unclear
