hide Detailed Description
Statement
Reference
Homozygous clones in the eye disc are very small.
E2f[rM729] eye disc clones in a Minute/+ background are extremely small.
E2f91/E2frM729 transheterozygous larvae, are much smaller than wild-type, 5 days after egg laying. They fail to develop into 3rd instar larvae.
E2f91/E2frM729 transheterozygotes can develop into the late second instar or early third instar larval stage at a very slow pace (around 13 days after egg laying), but do not develop into pupae. BrdU incorporation is not seen in the optic lobe region of the brain in day 13 E2f91/E2frM729 larvae, in contrast to wild-type third instar larvae. The eye discs of E2f91/E2frM729 larvae are very small and have only a few cells labelled with BrdU with no specific pattern.
Cells in homozygous clones induced in the wing pouch of the wing disc become enlarged and are gradually lost from the disc epithelium.
Clones induced in the eye in the first or second larval instar are not detected in the adult eye. They can be detected in the eye disc, but are much smaller than the adjacent twin spots, with fewer cells. These cells have initiated neuronal differentiation. Resulting ommatidia have incomplete sets of photoreceptors, and photoreceptors that are present often have abnormal morphology. Rhabdomeres are small in diameter, the rhabdomeres of the outer photoreceptors may project centrally and the photoreceptors do not extend the full length of the retina.
Cells in the CNS that normally enter endocycles fail at S17. Replication either fails or occurs at a very low rate.

Tsc1[f01910] E2f[rM729] double mutant eye disc clones in a wild-type background are smaller than Tsc1[f01910] single mutant eye disc clones. When Tsc1[f01910] E2f[rM729] double mutant clones are generated in Rbf[120a], the sizes of the Tsc1[f01910] E2f[rM729] double mutant clones are much smaller than that of Tsc1[f01910] single mutant clones. The prevailing cell death phenotype observed in Rbf[120a] Tsc1[f01910] double mutant clones at the morphogenetic furrow is no longer present in Rbf[120a] E2f[rM729] Tsc1[f01910] triple mutant cells, indicating that the increased level of ectopic cell death observed in Rbf[120a] Tsc1[f01910] double mutant cells is E2f-dependent.

The second mitotic wave is strongly restored in l(3)mbt[3d33] E2f[rM729] and Su(E1)-A[7d13] E2f[rM729] double mutant clones in the eye disc. The second mitotic wave is weakly rescued in CG31133[7d21] E2f[rM729] and gfzf[6a27] E2f[rM729] double mutant clones in the eye disc, with the double mutant cells entering the second mitotic wave several columns more posterior than in wild-type cells. In addition BrdU incorporation persists several columns more posterior in the double mutant cells than in the adjacent wild-type cells. The second mitotic wave is weakly rescued in Doa[6d2] E2f[rM729] double mutant clones in the eye disc, with double mutant cells only being sporadically labelled with BrdU in the second mitotic wave. Those double mutant cells that do incorporate BrdU are always found to be significantly more than adjacent wild-type cells that incorporate BrdU.
The shiny-eye and multiple photoreceptor-R8 phenotype seen in rno[1], Rbf[15aΔ] eye somatic mutant clones is significantly suppressed in a E2f[i2]/E2f[rM729] mutant background.
Relatively large E2f2[c03344] E2f[rM729] double mutant clones can be recovered in the eye disc. The small size of E2f[rM729] clones in the eye disc is partially rescued if they are also mutant for either bel[7d19], bel[L4740] or smo[1].
Scer\GAL4[GMR.PF]-driven expression of Su(H)[Scer\UAS.T:Hsim\VP16] is unable to rescue the small size of E2f[rM729] eye disc clones.
In wild-type animals, exposure to 40Gy of γ rays induces a distinct pattern of apoptosis in the wing disc, focussed on the the wing pouch, but excluding the DV boundary region and prospective vein. In E2frM729/E2f91; E2f276Q1/E2f2g5 animals, the same irradiation treatment induces a different pattern of apoptosis a smaller number of apoptotic cells are clustered in the center of the wing pouch, many in the D-V boundary region or prospective veins.
The addition of E2f276Q1/Df(2L)G5.1 to E2f91/E2frM729 flies almost completely suppresses the E2f91/E2frM729 phenotypes - mutants develop normally without any significant delay in larval growth, reach pupal stage and finally die as mid- or late pupae. The pattern of DNA synthesis in eye discs is largely normal. The addition of Dpa2/Df(2R)vg-B to E2f91/E2frM729 flies almost completely suppresses the E2f91/E2frM729 phenotypes - mutants develop normally without any significant delay in larval growth.
The rough eye phenotype seen upon expression of Dref[Scer\UAS.cSa] in the developing eye under the control of Scer\GAL4[GMR.PS] is suppressed in an E2f[rM729] heterozygous background.
Approximately 50% of the expected number of Rbf14/Y ; E2fi2/E2frM729 flies survive to the adult stage, and the development of these flies is not significantly delayed compared to sibling flies. The surviving flies have normal eyes, normal macrochaetae on the notum and normal wings and legs. The larval lethality of E2f91/E2frM729 animals can be suppressed by Rbf120a/Rbf14; the larvae develop into large late third instar larvae and many can pupate. Some Rbf120a/Rbf14 ; E2f91/E2frM729 animals can develop into pharate adults with adult eyes, legs and wing structures. The development of these larvae is significantly retarded compared to wild-type larvae, with the earliest pupae observed at around day 11 after egg laying. The normal pattern of DNA replication in the optic lobe region is restored in E2f91/E2frM729 larvae that are also carrying Rbf120a/Rbf14. In Rbf120a/Rbf14 ; E2f91/E2frM729 eye discs the overall pattern of DNA replication is normal. No significant cell death is seen in these eye discs. In late third instar discs there are about 25 rows of developing photoreceptor cells (as in wild-type discs) but there are much fewer cells anterior to the morphogenetic furrow than in wild type.
Dominantly enhances the rough eye phenotype of CycEJP homozygotes.

Transposase-mediated excision of the P{PZ} produces ry- flies that lack both the insertion and the lethal phenotype.
