Expression of Mes2Scer\UAS.cZa under the control of Scer\GAL4twi.2PE results in embryonic or first instar larval lethality at 25[o]C. Animals raised at 18[o]C are viable. The morphology of the mesoderm is not disrupted.
Expression of Mes2Scer\UAS.cZa under the control of Scer\GAL4twi.PB and Scer\GAL4how-24B results in embryonic or first instar larval lethality at both 18[o]C and 25[o]C. The morphology of the mesoderm is not disrupted.
Expression of Mes2Scer\UAS.cZa under the control of Scer\GAL4twi.PB and Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR results in first instar larval lethality at 25[o]C. Animals raised at 18[o]C are viable. The morphology of the mesoderm is not disrupted.
Expression of Mes2Scer\UAS.cZa under the control of Scer\GAL4gcm.PU results in second instar larval lethality at 25[o]C. Animals raised at 18[o]C are viable. The morphology of the glia are not disrupted.
Expression of Mes2Scer\UAS.cZa under the control of Scer\GAL4repo.PU results in lethality. The morphology of the glia are not disrupted.
Expression of Mes2Scer\UAS.cZa under the control of Scer\GAL4tub results in embryonic lethality in animals raised at 18[o]C or 25[o]C.
Expression of Mes2Scer\UAS.cZa under the control of Scer\GAL4Ubi results in lethality in animals raised at 18[o]C or 25[o]C. Gross developmental abnormalities are observed in these animals, including a failure of dorsal closure.
Expression of Mes2Scer\UAS.cZa under the control of Scer\GAL4nos.PG results in lethality. Gross developmental abnormalities are observed in these animals, including a failure of dorsal closure.
Expression of Mes2Scer\UAS.cZa under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32 results in embryonic lethality. Gross developmental abnormalities are observed in these animals, including a failure of dorsal closure.
Expression of Mes2Scer\UAS.cZa under the control of Scer\GAL4prd.RG1 results in lethality.
Expression of Mes2Scer\UAS.cZa under the control of Scer\GAL469B results in embryonic lethality. These embryos are morphologically wild-type up to stage 11, but by stage 13 the organisation of the epidermis is severely disrupted, especially along the leading edge that contacts cells of the amnioserosa. The cells of the leading edge do not display a normal elongated morphology and the integrity of the epidermis is disrupted, with "tears" in the epidermal sheath evident.
Expression of Mes2Scer\UAS.cZa under the control of Scer\GAL4Bx-MS1096 results in pupal lethality. Adult escapers have severely deformed wing and haltere tissues that form a necrotic mass at 25[o]C, and those raised at 18[o]C also show disrupted wing tissue development.
Expression of Mes2Scer\UAS.cZa under the control of Scer\GAL471B results in larval/pupal lethality at both 18[o]C and 25[o]C.
