Expression of hidhs.PG results in rapid male germline stem cell loss.
Expression of hidhs.PG results in rapid and robust cell death of 100% of mitotically cycling follicle cells in the ovary. Induction of hidhs.PG during endocycles does not result in follicle cell death.
Expression of hidhs.PG in early third-instar larvae causes rapid apoptosis (caspase activation) in mitotically cycling cells of the wing disc, eye disc and brain. No caspase labelling is seen when hidhs.PG is expressed in endocycling salivary gland cells or in the fat body.
Expression of Whs.PG following a 1 hour heat shock induces apoptosis throughout the wing disc.
Causes apoptosis leading to organismal death in the embryo, when heat shock is applied at 5-10 hours after egg laying.
Only 2% of animals survive to adulthood after a 30 min heat shock at 37oC during the first larval instar. A 40 minute heat shock kills all animals.
Overexpression of W induces apoptosis. Heat treatment in third instar larvae is followed by the appearance of apoptotic cells in the intervein territories, treatment of pupal wings causes all the cells to undergo apoptosis.

A genomic cosmid clone containing the transcribed region of W was constructed but failed to rescue W mutants. This is presumably due to the large size of the W transcription unit, 5' sequences required for W expression are presumed to be absent.
Heat shock protocol for killing animals carrying P{hs-hid}: -let parents lay for 5 days in vials at room temp or 25C -remove parents -heat shock for 2 hrs. at 37C in a water bath on day 5 -repeat heat shock on day 6 Heat shock must be performed in a water bath, not an air incubator for heat shock induction to be successful with this allele.
