Detailed Description

Adulthood-only expression of Egfr2.A887T.UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4esg.PU leads to an increase in mitotic index in the gut.

Adulthood-induced intestinal clones that express Egfr2.A887T.UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI are larger than control clones.

Expression of Egfr2.A887T.Scer\UAS driven by Scer\GAL4tin.CΔ4 results in a failure of flies to eclose from the late pupal stage.

Glial clones in adult brains expressing Egfr2.A887T.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4repo.PU contain two-fold more cells than wild type.

Optic lobe clones expressing Egfr2.A887T.Scer\UAS generated using eyFLP under the control of Scer\GAL4repo.PU contain a modest number of excess and abnormal glia relative to wild type controls.

When expression is driven by Scer\GAL432B extra vein tissue appears in the wing. Phenotype is more pronounced at elevated temperatures. When expression is driven by Scer\GAL4h-H10 eyes show gaps in the array of ommatidia.

EyFLP-induced clones that both express Egfr2.A887T.UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Act.PU and are scrib673/scrib673 form cephalic and gonadal tumors. The gonadal tumors are highly proliferative compared to neighboring control tissue.

The high levels of apoptosis (detected by Caspase-3 staining) observed in Rbf15aΔ;Stam19 double homozygous somatic MARCM clones in third instar larval eye disc is strongly suppressed by expression of Egfr2.A887T.Scer\UAS under the control of the Scer\GAL4Act.PU driver in the mutant clones.

Expression of Egfr2.A887T.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4btl.PS enhances the tracheal defects seen in Ptp10D1 Ptp4E1 double mutant embryos; the increase in diameter of the transverse connective/lateral trunk junction is further enhanced, and cysts appear on all dorsal branches.

Egfr2.A887T.Scer\UAS Pten117 double mutant clones generated under the control of Scer\GAL4repo.PU are overgrown and invasive. Cells from mutant clones appear to invade the brain, typically following fibre tracts, and sometimes inducing the formation of trachea. Mutant cells often penetrate deep into the brain. Smaller clones are commonly seen that are composed of relatively differentiated, enlarged glia with diffusely invasive projections.

Egfr2.A887T.Scer\UAS Pten117 double mutant clones generated using eyFLP under the control of Scer\GAL4repo.PU contain more excess glial cells than in either mutant alone. The clones are composed of 10s of glial cells in third instar larvae, becoming large invasive tumors composed of hundreds to thousands of cells in adults.
