Description

Deletion of approximately 15.kb of egr genomic sequences.

Imprecise excision of the P{GS} element from egrGS9830 causes a deletion that removes the first coding exon of the egr gene.

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

egr3 homozygotes show apparently normal L3 male gonads.

egr1/egr3 mutant adult flies exhibit reduced susceptibility to Coxiella burnetii: their post-infection survival rate is significantly increased compared to wild-type controls.

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.

egr1/egr3 transheterozygous flies exhibit severely reduced feeding rates compared to wild-type.

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.

Injecting synthetic Defensin protein into egr3, dlg1A40.2 larvae re-establishes the increased apoptosis observed in dlg1A40.2 larvae.

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.

The increased density of circulating hemocytes observed in scrib1 larvae is suppressed by egr3 homozygosity.

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.

Separable from: NimC1del.

The NimC1del mutation present on the egr3 chromosome has been removed by outcrossing to produce a line referred to as "egr[3AG]".
