Type II neuroblast clones in the larval brain expressing N[intra.GS.Scer\UAS] under the control of Scer\GAL4[wor.PA] contain mostly supernumerary neuroblasts and a few immature intermediate neural progenitor cells when analysed 72 hours after clone induction. Type I neuroblast clones in the larval brain expressing N[intra.GS.Scer\UAS] under the control of Scer\GAL4[Act5C.PP] contain an average of six neuroblasts per clone, although only 60% of the clones contain more than one neuroblast per clone.
Tracheal expression of N[intra.GS.Scer\UAS] under the control of Scer\GAL4[btl.PS] prevents tracheal fusion, but does not arrest outgrowth or stall cells near the base of the ganglionic branch.
Expression of N[intra.GS.Scer\UAS] in the eye disc under the control of Scer\GAL4[Act5C.PP] results in clones that overproliferate compared to wild type cells.
Expression of N[intra.GS.Scer\UAS] using Scer\GAL4[CG31670.R9D11] transforms Intermediate Neural Progenitors into ectopic type II neuroblasts in larval brains.
Follicle stem cell clones expressing N[intra.GS.Scer\UAS] under the control of Scer\GAL4[tub], Scer\GAL4[Act] and Scer\GAL4[e22c] simultaneously are lost more rapidly from the ovarioles than control clones over time. Follicle stem cell clones expressing N[intra.GS.Scer\UAS] under the control of Scer\GAL4[tub] are lost more rapidly from the ovarioles than control clones over time.
Expression of Nintra.GS.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4C587 results in an increased number of cap cells in the female germarium. Extra cap cells are seen both at the normal location close to the terminal filament cells and also in ectopic locations away from the germarial tip. In germaria with increased numbers of cap cells in the normal location, there is also an increase in the number of spectrosome-containing single germ cells, which behave like germline stem cells (GSCs), at the germarial tip. The ectopically located cap cells appear to be functional as spectrosome-containing single germ cells, which behave as GSCs, are also closely associated with them. These ectopic GSCs anchor their spectrosome on the side that anchors the ectopic cap cell, as occurs in a normal GSC context. Some of the ectopic cap cells are surrounded by inner germarial sheath (IGS) cells or somatic follicle cells. Germ cells lying one cell away from the ectopic GSCs are often germline cysts (as they contain branched fusomes), indicating that the progeny of the ectopic GSCs can probably undergo normal differentiation. However, too many cap cells (more than seven) at either the normal or ectopic location often cause the accumulation of spectrosome-containing single germ cells (which resemble GSCs) located two or more cell diameters away. When Nintra.GS.Scer\UAS is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI in inner germarial sheath cells of the adult ovary does not affect the differentiation status of the underlying germ cells.
Nintra.GS.Scer\UAS; Scer\GAL4fkh.14-3 causes ectopic cell movements in the developing proventriculus, but no obvious changes in endodermal or ectodermal cell fate.
Nintra.GS.Scer\UAS; Scer\GAL4dpp.blk1 results in overgrowth of the wing pouch and notum and an increase in BrdU incorporation in both of these regions. Similar results are seen in Nintra.GS.Scer\UAS; Scer\GAL4αTub84B.PL somatic clones. These clones also induce overgrowth non-autonomously. Flow cytometry analysis of cell cycle progression in the mutant cells shows no difference in profile compared to wild-type cells.
Nintra.GS.Scer\UAS; Scer\GAL4pros.PMG 30% of RP2 neurons are transformed into RP2 sib neurons, 99% of dMP2 neurons are converted to vMP2, 92% of hemi-segments exhibit an increase in U neurons and there is am overall decrease in EL neurons.
Expression of Nintra.GS.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI results in the formation of ectopic polar cells near the two poles of the egg chambers.
When Nintra.GS.Scer\UAS is driven by Scer\GAL4hs.PB and heatshocked between 8-12 hours APF no effect is seen on bristle pattern, but a high number of bristles lack bracts. Heat shock at earlier stages strongly reduces the number of bristles. Heatshock at later stages, causes many bristles to lack both shaft and bract.
Embryos expressing Nintra.GS.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4arm.PS show loss of peripheral nervous system neurons and the central nervous system is reduced to irregular patches of tissue.
Nintra.GS.Scer\UAS when driven by Scer\GAL4F442A.αTub84B.T:Hsim\VP16 suppresses neuroblast segregation in the embryo.
Expression of Nintra.GS.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4ato.3.6 results in a severe inhibition of axonal branching over the lobula and a complete failure of innervation of the medulla.

Homozygosity for klu[unspecified] significantly reduces the number of supernumerary neuroblasts and restores intermediate neural progenitor cells and ganglion mother cells in type II neuroblast clones in the larval brain expressing N[intra.GS.Scer\UAS] under the control of Scer\GAL4[wor.PA] (analysed 72 hours after clone induction). Type I neuroblast clones in the larval brain co-expressing klu[Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1] and N[intra.GS.Scer\UAS] under the control of Scer\GAL4[Act5C.PP] contain an average of 18 neuroblasts per clone and 100% of the clones show the supernumerary neuroblast phenotype. Homozygosity for klu[unspecified] significantly reduces the number of supernumerary neuroblasts per clone as well as the frequency of the clones containing more than one neuroblast in type I neuroblast clones in the larval brain expressing N[intra.GS.Scer\UAS] under the control of Scer\GAL4[Act5C.PP].
Expression of N[intra.GS.Scer\UAS] under the control of Scer\GAL4[btl.PS] in seq[Z1241] mutant trachea is not sufficient to suppress the ganglionic branch bifurcation phenotype. Activation of N in tracheal cells does not inhibit migration of ganglionic branch cells and is not able to overcome the effects of higher FGF in the ganglionic branches surrounding tissues of seq[Z1241] mutants.
A Vha55[j2E9] mutant clone background does not suppress the overproliferation phenotype seen when N[intra.GS.Scer\UAS] is expressed in eye disc clones under the control of Scer\GAL4[Act5C.PP].
Coexpression of erm[Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA] under the control of Scer\GAL4[CG31670.R9D11] suppresses the ectopic neuroblasts induced by expression of N[intra.GS.Scer\UAS].
Expression of N[intra.GS.Scer\UAS] under the control of Scer\GAL4[tub] has no effect on the maintenance of mam[8] follicle stem cell clones. The ability of ptc[S2] to induce follicle stem cell duplications in clones and for the clones to take over the whole ovariole is suppressed by expression of N[intra.GS.Scer\UAS] under the control of Scer\GAL4[tub]. The loss of follicle stem cell clones caused by expression of N[intra.GS.Scer\UAS] under the control of Scer\GAL4[tub] is not substantially suppressed by ptc[S2].
Nintra.GS.Scer\UAS; Scer\GAL4αTub84B.PL; wgl-17/wgl-17 somatic clones in the wing disc overproliferate, and non-autonomously induce overproliferation. However, unlike when such clones are wg+, this phenotype is mainly restricted to clones in the hinge and pleura, and is rarely seen in clones located in proximal regions of the wing pouch. Flow cytometry analysis of cell cycle progression in the mutant cells shows no difference in profile compared to wild-type cells.
The transformation of neurons (RP2 to RP2sib; dMP2 to vMP2; Usib to U) seen in Nintra.GS.Scer\UAS; Scer\GAL4pros.PMG embryos is unaffected by spdoG104/spdoG104.
In the absence of AP-2 activity, activated N is not able to rescue joint formation.
PsnC2 clones that also express Nintra.GS.Scer\UAS lead to double dorsal wing outgrowth.
