Imprecise excision of the progenitor insertion, resulting in a deletion of the entire Ice open reading frame.
Developmental apoptosis is greatly reduced in embryos that are maternally and zygotically mutant for IceΔ2C8.
Developmental apoptosis is greatly reduced in homozygous third instar eye discs.
γ-ray induced apoptosis (which is is seen in wild-type third larval instar wing discs after irradiation with 40Gy of γ-rays) is completely suppressed in IceΔ2C8 homozygotes. Recovery from G[[2]] arrest after irradiation occurs much earlier in the homozygotes compared to controls.
DriceΔ2C8/DriceΔ2C8 is a suppressor of increased cell death | third instar larval stage phenotype of hidGMR.PG
DriceΔ2C8/DriceΔ2C8 is a non-suppressor of wing disc phenotype of BacA\p35UAS.cHa, Scer\GAL4hh-Gal4, rprUAS.cUa
Developmental apoptosis in the eye disc is completely absent in Dcp-1Prev1 ; IceΔ2C8 double homozygous third instar larvae.
The reduction in adult eye size caused by expression of WGMR.PG is suppressed in a IceΔ2C8/IceΔ2C8 background.
The apoptosis posterior to the morphogenetic furrow that is induced by WGMR.PG in third larval instar eye discs is almost completely suppressed in a IceΔ2C8/IceΔ2C8 background.
The accelerated recovery from G[[2]] arrest which is seen in IceΔ2C8 wing discs after irradiation with 40Gy of γ-rays is suppressed if the animals are also homozygous for NcΔA8.
Co-expression of BacA\p35Scer\UAS.cHa and rprScer\UAS.cUa in the posterior compartment of the wing disc under the control of Scer\GAL4hh-Gal4 induces dramatic tissue overgrowth. This tissue overgrowth is not suppressed by IceΔ2C8/IceΔ2C8.
