Statement
Reference
Homozygous and shg[R758]/shg[R69] embryos show defects in the left-right asymmetry of the hindgut: left-right inversion and bilateralism phenotypes are seen at stage 14 in the mutant embryos. The mean length of the cell boundaries at the apical hindgut epithelium is greater than normal in mutant embryos at late stage 12, early stage 13 and late stage 13.
Mutant hindgut epithelial cells do not show the left-right asymmetry in cell shape which is seen in wild-type hindgut epithelial cells at late stage 12 (before epithelial tube rotation).
Zygotic mutant embryos of shg[R69] fail to maintain epithelial integrity in the ventral and head regions, and neighboring dorsal trunk branches of the trachea fail to fuse. shg[R69] mutant cell clones are not able to grow in size in the larval epithelia of imaginal discs and appear to be eliminated from the tissues. In egg chambers in which the germ-line is homozygous for shg[R69], the oocyte is misplaced, and the border cell cluster fails to migrate between the nurse cells. shg[DEΔ833-1316.Ubi.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP] is incapable of rescuing the zygotic shg[R69] defects in the head and ventral epidermis. However, the transgene exhibited some rescuing activity in helping form pinched fusions of the dorsal trunk branches of the trachea. The ventral epidermis and tracheal defects of shg[R69] are almost completely rescued by shg[DEΔ734-1316.Ubi.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP]. The head defects are not rescued by shg[DEΔ734-1316.Ubi.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP] and the primary defects appear to occur in the anterior terminal region before stage 11. Stage 12 and older embryos mutant for both maternal and zygotic shg[R69] that carry shg[DEΔ734-1316.Ubi.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP] show disorganized epidermal ectoderm, particularly in the head and ventral regions. These embryos also show defects in ventral furrow formation: the two lines of the ventral midline cells either fail to meet or only meet partially. Apical constrictions when cell shapes change are initiated relatively normally but subsequently decelerate in maternal and zygotic shg[R69] mutants carrying shg[DEΔ734-1316.Ubi.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP]. Catastrophic disruption of the junctional network follows the defective apical constriction in the mutant embryos.
shg[R69] maternal and zygotic embryonic mutants retain only dorsal cuticle.
Septate junctions remain intact in pupal eye shg[R69] MARCM clones.
shgR69 embryos have gonadal coalescence defects.
shgR69 homozygous germline clone cells do not survive in the testis.
shgR69 mutants lack head, ventral cuticle and, to some extent, dorsal cuticle. Approximately 6.6% of shgR69 mutants are phenotypically wild-type. The majority of shgR69 mutants (42.2%) exhibit holes in their embryonic/larval cuticle. Approximately 24.8% exhibit a dorsal cuticle only (i.e. lack ventral cuticle). Approximately 6.1% exhibit a ventral cuticle, although only in fragments. Finally, approximately 17.3% exhibit a U-shaped dorsal cuticle (a severe phenotype).
Primordial germ cells that are part of shgR69 somatic clones induced in the first instar larva contribute approximately the proportions of cells to the 'germline stem cell niche' at late third instar as do wild-type.
When small clones of cells homozygous for shgR69 are present in the pupal retina (40 hours after puparium formation), the membranes of mutant primary pigment cells do not adhere to neighbouring cells. However, mutant cone cells fail to adhere to primary pigment cells, but still adhere to each other.
Homozygous mutant embryos secrete only a sheet or dorsal cuticle, as the ventral epidermis is so disrupted.
Mutant germline stem cells (GSCs) are lost very quickly (with a half-life of 0.8 weeks) after clone induction, so that mutant GSCs occur at a much lower frequency (10%) in germaria during the first week after clone induction compared to controls. More than 95% of mutant GSCs observed during the first week after clone induction are lost within 2 weeks. Homozygous primordial germ cells are only incorporated into 0.4% of niches in the ovary, compared to 17.3% incorporation in wild type.
Marked shgR69 somatic stem cell (SSC) clones are only induced in the adult ovary at 13% of the frequency of control clones. Two weeks after clone induction, no germaria have mutant SSC clones, but some ovarioles have mutant follicle cell patches on egg chambers. Mutant oocytes often fail to localise to the posterior end of the egg chamber. When marked shgR69 SSC clones are induced in the third larval instar, only 0.8% of the resulting adult female germaria have marked mutant follicle cell patches, in contrast to marked wild-type clones induced in the third larval instar, where 34.3% of the resulting germaria have marked follicle cell patches. shgR69 follicle cell clones are similar in size to control clones.
Mosaic follicles in which the follicle cells are homozygous for shgR69 show a variety of defects and eventually degenerate. Many of these follicles do not show defects in the integrity of the follicle until late oogenesis. Border follicle cell clusters in which all cells are homozygous for shgR69 (in mosaic follicles) do not migrate between the nurse cells towards the oocyte. The clusters are located either near the anterior tip of the follicle or at the boundary between the first and second nurse cell. Mosaic border follicle cell clusters in which some cells are homozygous for shgR69 (containing 3-5 shg+ and 2-4 shgR69 cells) migrate between the nurse cells towards the oocyte. The shg+ cells are always found at the leading edge of the cluster. Centripetal cells show no or only rudimentary movement in stage 10b follicles that are homozygous for shgR69 in the follicle cells (but shg+ in the germline). A few shgR69 centripetal cells segregate from the follicular epithelium but remain at the periphery of the follicle. The cells do not elongate or form protrusive ends (as occurs in wild type) but take on a rounded shape. shgR69 centripetal cells fail to migrate and have a rounded shape in mosaic follicles containing both shgR69 homozygous and wild-type centripetal cells. The wild-type centripetal cells migrate between the nurse cells and oocyte in these mosaic follicles, but the cells have a shorter and bulkier morphology compared with wild-type follicles. Mosaic follicles in which the germline is homozygous for shgR69 show a variety of defects and eventually degenerate. The border cell clusters remain attached to the follicular epithelium and do not penetrate between the nurse cells in follicles in which the oocyte is normally localised. They are typically found at the boundary between the first and second nurse cell. In mosaic follicles in which the germline is homozygous for shgR69 and the oocyte is centrally localised, a border cell cluster forms at both poles of the follicle. Border cell clusters are never seen between nurse cells in these follicles, although 35% of the clusters reach the oocyte. Clusters that reach the oocyte are still in contact with the follicular epithelium. The centripetal cells fail to migrate in most mosaic follicles in which the germline is homozygous for shgR69. In those follicles in which centripetal cells penetrate between the germline cells, the morphology of the invading cells is highly abnormal and they form irregular clusters.
The oocyte is positioned abnormally in 89% of stage 1 follicles with a homozygous germline and is positioned abnormally in 68% of stage 1 follicles with a homozygous follicular epithelium. Oocyte mislocalisation is also seen in follicles that are homozygous both in the germline and soma. In mosaic follicles in which 50% or more of the follicular epithelium is homozygous for shgR69 and the oocyte is shg+, the oocyte attaches itself with high fidelity (98%) to the remaining shg+ cells. In contrast, in mosaic follicles in which 50% or more of the follicular epithelium is homozygous for shgR69 and the oocyte is homozygous for shgR69 only 39% of oocytes are attached to the shg+ follicle cells.

shg[R69]/+ enhances the lethality of Patj[Δ1] homozygotes, with greater lethality at earlier stages. The frequency of cuticle defects seen in Patj[Δ1] embryos is also enhanced by shg[R69]/+. Late-stage shg[R69]/+ ; Patj[Δ1]/Patj[Δ1] embryos have a multilayered epidermis, many of the epidermal cells start to round up and many epidermal cells undergo apoptosis.
Clones in the developing optic lobe expressing ey[1-545.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC,T:en-Rep] under the control of Scer\GAL4[ey-OK107] which are also mutant for shg[R69] form clumps of cells at a much lower frequency than clones expressing ey[1-545.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC,T:en-Rep] under the control of Scer\GAL4[ey-OK107] in an otherwise wild-type background.
The cuticle phenotype of dead embryos derived from baz[4]/+ embryos derived from a cross of baz[4]/+ females to wild-type males is enhanced if the females also carry one copy of shg[R69].
The enlarged eye phenotype seen in RASSF8[6] homozygotes is enhanced by shg[R69]/+.
The Scer\GAL4[GMR.PF]>cindr[dsRNA.PC.PD.Scer\UAS] mispatterning phenotype is enhanced in a heterozygous shg[R69] background. In addition, large patches of black tissue are observed in the eyes of 68.3% of these adult flies; this is a significant enhancement of the penetrance and extent of degenerative tissue that is observed in Scer\GAL4[GMR.PF]>cindr[dsRNA.PC.PD.Scer\UAS] mutant flies (12.6%).
p120ctn[308], shg[R69]/+ mutant pupae exhibit disruption of the hexagonal inter-ommatidial precursor cell pattern with extra cells present in double layers around bristle cells in the retina.
One copy of shg[R69] strongly enhances the increase in inter-ommatidial precursor cell number seen when pyd[3.dsRNA.Scer\UAS] is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4[GMR.PF].
shg[R69]/+ partially suppresses the abberant arangement of inter-ommatidial cells seen in the pupal and adult retinas of In(1)rst[3]/Y animals. The retinas of shg[R69]/+ animals at 42 hours APF have only very occasional inter-ommatidial patterning defects (the occasional extra or misplaced cell). This phenotype is dramatically enhanced in tkv[8]/shg[R69] or shg[R69]/shg[R69] transheterozygotes. The wing vein thickening phenotype seen in tkv[IR2.Scer\UAS]; Scer\GAL4[sd-SG29.1] adults is enhanced by shg[R69]/+.
shg[R69]/+ suppresses the loss of apical profile, delamination and subsequent migration and cell death increase seen in cells at the posterior edge of theptc expression domain in Csk[IR.Scer\UAS] Scer\GAL4[ptc-559.1] third instar larvae.
Follicle cells clones that are homozygous for both shgR69 and Df(3L)79a do not cause oocyte mislocalisation, in contrast to the 75% mislocalisation induced by follicle cells mutant for Df(3L)79a alone.
Addition of Rho1rev220 to shgR69 suppresses the shgR69 cuticular phenotype. A larger fraction of the double mutants exhibit less severe phenotypes compared to the shg<up>R69 single mutants.
When small clones of cells homozygous for shgR69 are present in the retina of CadNM19/CadNM12 pupae (40 hours after puparium formation), cone cells in the mutant clones fail to adhere to their cone cell or primary pigment cell neighbours, and some lose all apical contact with other cells. The mutant cells round up, and the remaining wild-type cone cells in mosaic ommatidia pack into configurations typical for soap bubble aggregates.
In shg-/shg+ the viability of p120ctn308 homozygotes is reduced to 20-60% of their shg+/shg+ siblings.
Heterozygosity for shgR69 results in lethality in Abl1/+ embryos derived from homozygous Abl1 female germline clones. 30% of the lethal progeny of females with homozygous Abl4 germline clones mated to shgR69/+ ; Abl4/+ males have a prominent dorsal-anterior hole.

Comments
Expression of shg[Ubi-p63E.T:Avic\GFP-rs] rescues the lethality of shg[R69]. The head, ventral epidermis and tracheal defects of shg[R69] are almost completely rescued by shg[Ubi-p63E.T:Avic\GFP-rs]. When shg[Ubi-p63E.T:Avic\GFP-rs] is present, shg[R69] mutant cell clones are able to grow in size in the epithelia. These epithelia developed normally into adult tissues. When shg[Ubi-p63E.T:Avic\GFP-rs] is present in the background, egg chambers containing shg[R69] mutant germ-line clones show normal development. Cellularization occurs normally in embryos mutant for both maternal and zygotic shg[R69] that carry shg[Ubi-p63E.T:Avic\GFP-rs]. Similarly, in the presence of shg[Ubi-p63E.T:Avic\GFP-rs], posterior invagination occurs normally, and the ectoderm initiates extension and maintains epithelial integrity in embryos mutant for both maternal and zygotic shg[R69]. The ventral epidermis and tracheal defects of shg[R69] are almost completely rescued by shg[DEΔ734-1316.Ubi.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP]. The head defects are not rescued by shg[DEΔ734-1316.Ubi.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP] and the primary defects appear to occur in the anterior terminal region before stage 11. When shg[DEΔ734-1316.Ubi.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP] is present, shg[R69] mutant cell clones are able to grow in size in the epithelia. These epithelia developed normally into adult tissues. When shg[DEΔ734-1316.Ubi.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP] is present in the background, egg chambers containing shg[R69] mutant germ-line clones show normal development. Cellularization occurs normally in embryos mutant for both maternal and zygotic shg[R69] that carry shg[DEΔ734-1316.Ubi.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP]. Similarly, in the presence of shg[DEΔ734-1316.Ubi.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP], posterior invagination occurs normally, and the ectoderm initiates extension and maintains epithelial integrity in embryos mutant for both maternal and zygotic shg[R69]. However, ectopic furrows transiently appear and the extension is slightly affected, presumably because of failure in mesoderm invagination. shg[DEΔ833-1316.Ubi.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP] is incapable of rescuing the zygotic shg[R69] defects in the head and ventral epidermis. However, the transgene exhibited some rescuing activity in helping form pinched fusions of the dorsal trunk branches of the trachea. shg[mNcGSP.Ubi.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP] can rescue the lethality of of shg[R69]. The rescued embryos show normal ventral furrow and the ventral midline cells meet entirely. Stage 12 and older embryos mutant for both maternal and zygotic shg[R69] that carry shg[DEΔ734-1316.Ubi.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP] show disorganized epidermal ectoderm, particularly in the head and ventral regions. These embryos also show defects in ventral furrow formation: the two lines of the ventral midline cells either fail to meet or only meet partially. Apical constrictions when cell shapes change are initiated relatively normally but subsequently decelerate in maternal and zygotic shg[R69] mutants carrying shg[DEΔ734-1316.Ubi.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP]. Catastrophic disruption of the junctional network follows the defective apical constriction in the mutant embryos.
Expression of the shgαTub84B.PP transgene largely rescues the gonadal coalescence defects of shgR69 embryos.
