UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of MerGD1484 under the control of Scer\GAL4C587 has no apparent germarium phenotype.
Expression of MerGD1484 under the control of Scer\GAL4ap.PU in cells of the wing disc proper has no significant effect on the morphology or proliferation of the overlying peripodial membrane cells in third instar larvae. The wings of the adult flies however curl downwards due to the overgrowth of the dorsal surface.
Expression of MerGD1484 (co-expressed with Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa) under the control of Scer\GAL4repo.PU substantially increases glial cell numbers in the third instar larval eye disc and brain.
Expression of MerGD1484 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF results in eye overgrowth.
Adults expressing MerGD1484 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu (in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa to increase the efficiency of RNAi) do not show a significant defect in avoidance of noxious temperature (46[o]C) compared to control flies.
MerGD1484, Scer\GAL4repo.PU has increased cell number | third instar larval stage phenotype, suppressible by ykiKK109756, Scer\GAL4repo.PU
Scer\GAL4GMR.PF/MerGD1484 is an enhancer of visible | somatic clone phenotype of kibra1
MerGD1484, Scer\GAL4en.PU is a suppressor of decreased size | adult stage phenotype of PatroninGD11946, Scer\GAL4en.PU
MerGD1484, Scer\GAL4en.PU is a suppressor of visible | adult stage phenotype of PatroninGD11946, Scer\GAL4en.PU
MerGD1484, Scer\GAL4αTub84B.PL is a suppressor of lethal - all die before end of second instar larval stage phenotype of Scer\GAL4αTub84B.PL, Snr1RNAi.UAS.cUa
MerGD1484, Scer\GAL4repo.PU has larval glial cell | third instar larval stage phenotype, suppressible by ykiKK109756, Scer\GAL4repo.PU
MerGD1484, Scer\GAL4repo.PU has eye disc | third instar larval stage phenotype, suppressible by ykiKK109756, Scer\GAL4repo.PU
Scer\GAL4GMR.PF/MerGD1484 is an enhancer of eye | somatic clone phenotype of kibra1
MerGD1484, Scer\GAL4en.PU is a suppressor of wing phenotype of PatroninGD11946, Scer\GAL4en.PU
Expression of ykiKK109756 suppresses the increase in glial cell number seen in third instar larval eye discs expressing MerGD1484 under the control of Scer\GAL4repo.PU.
Expression of MerGD1484 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF enhances the eye overgrowth phenotype of homozygous kibra1 eyes (generated using the eyFLP method).
