Defects in the endosomal pathway affect the size of LAMP1-positive lysosomes. a-f Confocal sections of larval fat bodies clonally expressing the lysosomal marker GFP-LAMP1 (green) alone (a) or in combination with the dominant negative or silencing transgenes for Shibire (b), Rab5 (c), Rab4 (d), Chmp1 (e) or Rab7 (f). Fixed fat bodies were stained with Hoechst (blue). Scale bar: 10 μm. g Quantification of GFP-LAMP1 dots size. Bars denote mean ± s.d. Statistical significance was determined using one-way ANOVA: *p < 0.05, **p < 0.005, ***p < 0.0005, ****p < 0.0001. Genotypes: a y w hs-FLP/+; UAS-GFP-LAMP1/+; Ac > CD2 > Gal4/+, b y w hs-FLP/UAS-ShiK44A; UAS-GFP- LAMP1/+; Ac > CD2 > Gal4/ UAS-ShiK44A, c y w hs-FLP/+; UAS-GFP-LAMP1/+; Ac > CD2 > Gal4/UAS-Rab5-IR, d y w hs-FLP/+; UAS-GFP-LAMP1/+; Ac > CD2 > Gal4/UAS-Rab4SN, e y w hs-FLP/+; UAS-GFP-LAMP1/+; Ac > CD2 > Gal4/UAS-Chmp1-IR, f y w hs-FLP/+; UAS-GFP-LAMP1/UAS-Rab7TN; Ac > CD2 > Gal4/+
