egr3 homozygotes show apparently normal L3 male gonads.
Follicle cells from egr3 mutant starved-induced degenerating egg chambers fail to enlarge and take up nurse cell debris, dying prematurely. Excessive follicle cell death is seen in late phases of degeneration after the engulfment defects are apparent. Many mid-stage egg chambers remain healthy under starvation conditions, and these do not show follicle cell death.
Homozygous flies are resistant to V. cholerae infection compared to controls.
egr3 mutant flies show a slight increased susceptibility to challenge by Staphylococcus aureus or Enterococcus faecalis compared to wild type flies.
Hemolymph clots from egr3 homozygous third instar larvae show reduced levels of melanization.
When mutant animals are infected by S.typhimurium, the mean time to death is lengthened by 3 days compared to wild-type animals.

egr3/egr3 is a suppressor of increased cell number | larval stage phenotype of scrib1
egr1/egr3 is a suppressor | partially of increased cell death | somatic clone | third instar larval stage phenotype of RokCAT.UAS, Scer\GAL4Tub.PU
egr1/egr3 is a suppressor of increased cell death | somatic clone | third instar larval stage phenotype of scrib1
egr1/egr3 is a non-suppressor of neoplasia phenotype of Scer\GAL4rn-GAL4-5, Syx7GD2767
egr3/egr[+] is a suppressor of embryonic/larval fat body | larval stage phenotype of Noc1JF02014, Scer\GAL4P0206
egr1/egr3 is a suppressor of eye-antennal disc | somatic clone | third instar larval stage phenotype of Ras85DV12.UAS, Scer\GAL4Act.PU, scrib1
egr3/egr3 is a suppressor of embryonic/larval hemocyte | larval stage phenotype of scrib1
egr3/egr3 is a suppressor of wing disc phenotype of Scer\GAL4dpp.PU, Vha44UAS.cPa
egr1/egr3, scrib1 has eye-antennal disc | somatic clone | third instar larval stage phenotype
Third instar larval eye-antennal imaginal disc clones homozygous for scrib1 and expressing Ras85DV12.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Act.PU do not induce significant autophagosomes (assessed by a Atg8a fluorescence reporter) in neighboring disc cells if the full organism is egr1/egr3 transheterozygous.
egr1/egr3 partially suppresses the cell death observed in eye-antennal disc clones expressing RokCAT.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4tub.PU.
The egr1/egr3 background fully suppresses the increased cell death seen in eye-antennal disc scrib1/scrib1 mutant clones, and also leads to overgrowth of these clones.
egr3/egr3 completely suppresses the overgrowth and cell migration out of the Scer\GAL4dpp.PU expression domain which is caused by expression of Vha44Scer\UAS.cPa under the control of Scer\GAL4dpp.PU in the wing disc.
