hide Detailed Description
Statement
Reference
Adults containing homozygous clones represent only 2.1% of the population recovered after clones are induced using the eyFLP method (expected fraction of adults containing mutant clones is 50% if there is no effect of the mutant clones on viability).
hpo[42-47] homozygous mutant clones generated in the male or female germline develop normally. In the testis 16 cells are observed per cyst, and cell size and morphology are indistinguishable from neighbouring control cells.
Eyes composed almost entirely of hpo[42-47] mutant tissue are overgrown and noticeably larger than control eyes.
Apoptosis is reduced by up to 3-fold in hpo42-47 clones of wing or eye discs in response to γ-rays compared to wild-type tissue.
The mid-pupal retina of hpo[42-47]/hpo[42-47] animals contains a large excess of inter-ommatidial cells. The resulting adult eyes are distorted and lumpy.
Animals bearing hpo42-47 clones show an overgrowth phenotype in the head.
When somatic clones of hpo42-47 homozygous cells are generated throughout the eye disc using Scer\FLP1ey.PN with P{neoFRT}42D, only 2% of animals survive the pupal stage and eclose. The resulting flies have enlarged, folded eyes, and excess head cuticle. The external ommatidial facets are frequently lost. Sectioning of these eyes reveals a normal complement of photoreceptor cells. However, spacing between photoreceptor clusters is increased due to the presence of extra interommatidial pigment cells. In somatic clones of hpo42-47 homozygous cells in the late third instar eye disc, ommatidial clusters have the normal complement of differentiating photoreceptor cells, and R8 is specified at correct location and density emerging from the morphogenetic furrow. The spacing between adjacent ommatidial clusters is initially normal but increases at later stages (more posterior to the furrow), due to the presence of extra interommatidial cells. These extra cells seem to be due to a failure of uncommitted interommatidial cells to undergo cell cycle arrest posterior to the second mitotic wave. At least some of these cells continue to proliferate during early pupal development, as revealed by ectopic BrdU incorporation at 16 hr after puparium formation (APF). However, ectopic cell proliferation is undetectable beyond 24 hr APF. At 36 hr APF, cell death is suppressed in mutant clones, even though abundant apoptosis is detected in the neighboring wild-type cells. Cell death in hpo mutant clones is not simply delayed, since it could not be detected in mutant clones up to 48 hr APF. Somatic clones of hpo42-47 homozygous cells in the adult cuticle are characterised by extensive tissue overgrowth and abnormally (roughly) textured cuticle in which cell-cell boundaries are apparent. The cells of hpo42-47 homozygous somatic clones in wing discs during the growth phase have a doubling time of 12.2 hours, compared to 13.9 hours for wild-type cells. This is due to a proportional acceleration of all phases of the cell cycle, rather than an effect in any specific stage.

Statement
Reference
he loss of inter-ommatidial cells in the developing retinas of ex[Scer\UAS.cBa]; Scer\GAL4[GMR.PF] animals at the mid-pupal stage is completely suppressed by hpo[42-47]/hpo[42-47]. The resulting retinas have an excess of inter-ommatidial cells, just as hpo[42-47]/hpo[42-47] animals so.
The head overgrowth phenotype of flies carrying hpo42-47 clones is not significantly enhanced in a RassfX36 background.
The small, rough eye phenotype of CycEAR95/CycEJP animals, is almost completely dominantly suppressed by hpo42-47.

Statement
Reference
The severe eye and heat cuticle deformities seen in adults carrying somatic clones of hpo42-47 homozygous cells throughout the eye disc (generated using Scer\FLP1ey.PN with P{neoFRT}42D) are almost completely suppressed by Hsap\STK3hs.PW, given a suitable heat shock regime (60 minutes daily from 2nd instar until eclosion).
