hide Detailed Description
Statement
Reference
Heterozygous flies are more resistant to P. entomophila infection than control flies.
SNF1A[3] mutants exhibit aberrant morphology in class IV multi-dendritic neurons. SNF1A[3] mutants die as larvae and are characteristically smaller than wild-type larvae of the same age. The majority of SNF1A[3] mutants die between the fifth and seventh day of the third instar larval stage. Feeding these larvae with Rapamycin increases the percentage of mutant larvae surviving to the seventh day. Under fed conditions, SNF1A[3] larvae show significantly more and larger lipid droplets in oenocytes compared to controls, resembling the starved phenotype of wild-type oenocytes.
Homozygotes have enlarged plasma membrane domains in sensory neuron dendrites, but not in axonal compartments. Actin defects are not seen in homozygous follicle cell clones in females raised under normal food conditions. However, under energetic stress conditions (strongly reducing the availability of sugar in the food medium), 98% of homozygous follicle cell clones show a strong mutant actin phenotype; the density of the basal stress fibres is strongly reduced, whereas the amount of apical F-actin increases. Under normal food conditions, SNF1A[3] follicle cell clones show normal epithelial polarity. Under energetic stress conditions, SNF1A[3] follicle cell clones show a fully penetrant loss of epithelial polarity. Many of the clones show a severe phenotype, in which the cells round up and lose their epithelial organisation to form multiple layers of cells. Larger mutant clones, particularly those at the anterior or posterior of the egg chamber, show a complete loss of epithelial organisation and overproliferate to form small, tumour-like growths of unpolarised cells. Homozygous follicle cell clones do not show polarity defects in females fed on a glucose-only diet.

Comments
Expression of SNF1A[Scer\UAS.cMa] under the control of Scer\GAL4[109(2)80] rescues the neuronal defects of SNF1A[3] mutants. Expression of SNF1A[ΔC.Scer\UAS] under the control of Scer\GAL4[109(2)80] fails to rescue the neuronal defects of SNF1A[3] mutants.
