Expression of EcRA.Scer\UAS in the developing wing under the control of Scer\GAL4Bx-MS1096 results in mild ectopic wing vein formation.

The number of niche cap cells and the number of germline cells containing a single spectrosome (SSCs) per germarium is increased in females expressing EcRA.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4bab1-Pgal4-2.

Expression of EcRA.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.247.Switch results in an increase in the total amount of sleep during the day and at night compared to controls. Average sleep bout duration and daytime waking activity are also increased.

Expression of EcRA.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E results in some decrease in the hatching rate, but no lethality during metamorphosis; 78% of eggs laid eclose as adults. Prepupae expressing EcRA.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E have reduced tanning in the cuticle overlying posterior cells, resulting in puparia with a striped appearance.

Expression of EcRA.Scer\UAS when driven by Scer\GAL4Tab2-201Y does not result in any detectable abnormalities.

Co-expression of EcRA.Scer\UAS enhances the G9aScer\UAS.cKa wing vein phenotype.

Co-expression of EcRA.Scer\UAS significantly suppresses the small wing phenotype caused by expression of pzgdsRNA.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E.

The addition of EcRA.Scer\UAS driven by Scer\GAL4Tab2-201Y partially rescues the gamma-lobe phenotype.

Comments

Expressing EcRA.UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4CCAP.PP partially rescues both larval CCAP neuronal death and the reduced size of pupal legs and wings, while fully rescuing the head eversion phenotype induced by expression of EcRB1-ΔC655.W650A.UAS alone.

Co-expression of EcRA.Scer\UAS postpones larval lethality from the 1st instar to the 2nd/3rd instar transition, but results in little-to-no rescue of the Malpighian tubule phenotypes of EcRB1-ΔC655.F645A.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4c42. Cuticle preparations of these larvae show molting defects.

Expression of EcRA.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4ETH.Switch in the presence of RU486 partially rescues the lethality and failure of ecdysis phenotypes seen in larvae expressing EcRB1-ΔC655.F645A.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4ETH.Switch in the presence of RU486.

The defects in midgut morphogenesis which are seen in embryos expressing EcRB1-ΔC655.W650A.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4twi.PG are rescued by co-expression of EcRA.Scer\UAS.

The defects in tracheal morphogenesis which are seen in embryos expressing EcRB1-ΔC655.W650A.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4btl.PS are rescued by co-expression of EcRA.Scer\UAS.

The embryonic defects caused by expression or EcRB1-ΔC655.W650A.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL469B are rescued by co-expression of EcRA.Scer\UAS.

Co-expression of EcRA.Scer\UAS rescues the lethality and eye defects caused by expression of EcRB1-ΔC655.F645A.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF. Co-expression of EcRA.Scer\UAS rescues to normal viability and normal morphology animals expressing EcRB1-ΔC655.F645A.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Lsp2.PH or Scer\GAL4Eh.0.8. Co-expression of EcRA.Scer\UAS rescues to nearly complete viability animals expressing EcRB1-ΔC655.F645A.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4dpp.blk1. Co-expression of EcRA.Scer\UAS rescues to normal viability and normal morphology animals expressing EcRB1-ΔC655.F645A.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Ser.PGF. Co-expression of EcRA.Scer\UAS partially rescues the glue secretion and puffing defects of animals expressing EcRB1-ΔC655.F645A.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Sgs3.PD. Co-expression of EcRA.Scer\UAS does not rescue the border cell migration defects, chorion fragility or fertility of females expressing EcRB1-ΔC655.F645A.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4slbo.2.6, and slightly enhances the phenotype, decreasing egg yield and increasing egg fragility.

The failure of pruning of the larval Tv-neurons seen in EcR31/EcR99 animals is slightly rescued by expression of EcRA.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Fmrf.PS.

EcRB2.Scer\UAS when driven by Scer\GAL4Tab2-201Y fails to rescue the Mushroom body γ neuron phenotypes.
