Expression via Scer\GAL4wor.PA and Scer\GAL80ase.PN has no effect on neuroblast size or number in late pupal stages.

Expression of Atg1K38Q.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Sgs3.PD blocks the formation of the large acidic structures which normally occurs in salivary gland cells approximately 1.5 hours after head eversion, but caspase activation at 2 hours after head eversion is not blocked. This does not prevent breakdown of the salivary gland tissue, as no persistent salivary gland phenotype is seen at 24 hours after puparium formation.

Expression of Atg1K38Q.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Lsp2.PH results in 25% pupal lethality.

At 24 hours after puparium formation, animals expressing Atg1K38Q.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4fkh.PH still contain vacuolated salivary gland fragments, in contrast to wild-type animals, where the salivary glands have completely degraded by this stage.

The partial lethality caused by expression of Atg1Scer\UAS.cSa under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF can be partially suppressed by co-expression of Atg1K38Q.Scer\UAS. The reduced eye size caused by expression of Atg1Scer\UAS.cSa under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF is rescued by co-expression of Atg1K38Q.Scer\UAS.

Expression of Atg1K38Q.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Cg.PA does not result in increased autophagy in the fat body of normally fed animals.

Expression of Atg1K38Q.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PP in clones in the wing disc does not result in cell elimination or DNA fragmentation.

Expression of Atg1K38Q.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PP in clones or under the control of Scer\GAL4Cg.PA is sufficient to inhibit starvation-induced autophagy.

Reference

The robust formation of Atg8a-positive (or LysoTracker positive) autophagosome vesicles the AdukScer\UAS.cBa-expressing (controlled by Scer\GAL4Scer\FRT.Rnor\CD2.Act5C) fat body clones in fed larvae is not observed when the clones co-express Atg1K38Q.Scer\UAS.

Simultaneous overexpression of Atg1K38Q.Scer\UAS and NcΔN.C-A.Scer\UAS in the remodelling fat body, under the control of Scer\GAL4Lsp2.PH dramatically reduces autophagy and cell death but increases lethality by approximately 40%.

Simultaneous overexpression of Atg1K38Q.Scer\UAS and NcΔN.C-A.Scer\UAS in the remodelling fat body, under the control of Scer\GAL4Lsp2.PH delays pupal development by approximately 4 hours.

Neuroblasts are detected in the mushroom body of 1 month old adults simultaneously co-expressing rprmiRNA.RHG.Scer\UAS, WmiRNA.RHG.Scer\UAS and grimmiRNA.RHG.Scer\UAS (from the P{UAS-RHG.miRNA} transgene) and Atg1K38Q.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4wor.PA (mushroom body neuroblasts are not seen in wild-type adults).

Comments

Expression of Atg1K38Q.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4hs.PH in the absence of heat shock results in rescue of 4% of Atg1Δ3D homozygotes to adulthood.

Atg1Δ3D homozygous larvae expressing Atg1K38Q.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4hs.PH in the absence of heat shock show no detectable autophagy when starved, indicating that starvation-induced autophagy is not rescued.
