these in vivo conditions, Wg made a short-range gradient with l = 5.8 ± 2.04 mm (Figs. 3I and 4A). Which kinetic parameter could account for this difference? Because Dpp and Wg have inherently different properties—Wg is a lipid-modified molecule (20); Dpp is not (21)—they are likely to display different mechanisms and kinetics of spreading through the epithelium. The shorter decay length of the Wingless gradient was due to a higher degradation rate of GFP-Wingless, by a factor of 5, and to a lesser extent its smaller diffusion coefficient (Fig. 4). Although the Gal4 driver was the same in the Dpp and Wg experiments, the production rate of Wg was about seven times that of Dpp, which implied that their maturation and secretion were controlled differently. In addition, while 62% of the Dpp molecules were immobile, the Wg pool was almost fully mobile at 25°C (y = 9.2 ± 13%), although, unlike Dpp, a significant immobile fraction appeared at higher experimental temperatures (Fig. 3, K and N). The different immobile fractions of Dpp and Wg at 25°C validated the specificity of the Dpp immobile fraction. Thus, the immobile fraction was not an artifact of incomplete recovery in sick cells. Finally, in contrast to Dpp, Wg transport and degradation were independent of Dynamin endocytosis (Fig. 3, K to O). Indeed, Wg movement has been suggested to be Dynamin-independent (6, 22). In addition , expression of dominant-negative Dynamin and/or long-term thermosensitive shibire block caused an extension of the gradient in the wing (5, 22, 23), which was attributed to decreased degradation (5, 22). Our FRAP approach studying the results of an acute block suggests that endocytosis is not required for Wg transport and degradation or, alternatively, that endocytosis of Wg is Dynamin-independent. Altogether, the GFP-Wingless FRAP experiments (i) validated our FRAP assay and shibire-rescue experiment; (ii) indicated that different morphogen gradients can be generated by independently fine-tuning D, k, n, and y; and (iii) showed that different morphogens may use different mechanisms of transport and cellular machineries (e.g., Dynamin-dependent versus Dynamin-independent transport) to achieve the formation of morphogen gradients. Synonymous single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) do not produce altered coding sequences, and therefore they are not expected to change the function of the protein in which they occur. We report that a synonymous SNP in the Multidrug Resistance 1 (MDR1) gene, part of a haplotype previously linked to altered function of the MDR1 gene …
