Co-expression of Tsc1^Scer\UAS.cTa and gig^Scer\UAS.cTa under the control of Scer\GAL4^phm.PO (using tub-Gal80ts to limit the time of expression to late L2/L3 larval stages) or the Scer\GAL4^P0206 driver results in an almost complete loss of lipid droplets from the prothoracic gland cells in third instar larvae.

The accumulation of lipid droplets observed in prothoracic gland cells of third instar larvae expressing Npc1a^KK101077 under the control of either Scer\GAL4^phm.PO or Scer\GAL4^P0206 is prevented by co-expression of Tsc1^Scer\UAS.cTa and gig^Scer\UAS.cTa.

The co-expression of Tsc1^Scer\UAS.cPa and gig^Scer\UAS.cTa under the control of Scer\GAL4^{E(spl)m6-BFM.PF} leads to significantly decreased numbers of abdominal lateral, dorsal and ventral adult muscle precursor cells in mid-third instar larvae, as compared to controls.

Co-expression of Tsc1^Scer\UAS.cTa and gig^Scer\UAS.cTa (together forming the tuberous sclerosis complex) under the control of Scer\GAL4^e22c does not affect cell death in the posterior compartment of the wing discs seen upon expression of hppy^Scer\UAS.cLa.

Co-overexpression of Tsc1^Scer\UAS.cTa and gig^Scer\UAS.cTa in fat-body cells under the control of Scer\GAL4^Act5C.PP induces the formation of autolysosomes in fed conditions. Over-expression in a Pi3K59F^Δm22 mutant animal does not result in the induction of autolysosome formation.

Co-expression of Tsc1^Scer\UAS.cTa and gig^Scer\UAS.cTa under the control of Scer\GAL4^ppl.PP results in a marked accumulation of large lipid droplets in the oenocytes of 100% of fed larvae (this contrasts with wild-type larvae, where oenocytes accumulate lipid droplets specifically under starvation conditions).

Co-expression of gig^Scer\UAS.cTa and Tsc1^Scer\UAS.cTa under the control of Scer\GAL4^ey.PH results in flies with smaller eyes than normal. This small eye phenotype is enhanced if the flies are also mutant for one of hiw^ND8, hiw^EP1305, hiw^ND42, hiw^ND69 or hiw^EMS.

Tsc1^Scer\UAS.cPa; gig^Scer\UAS.cTa; Scer\GAL4^GMR.PF animals have small eyes. This growth suppression is partially reversed by Rheb^Scer\UAS.cSa.

Ommatidial size in Scer\GAL4^GMR.PF/+; Tsc1^Scer\UAS.cTa, gig^Scer\UAS.cTa/+ flies is reduced to 0.68 of wild-type. The large size and disorganisation of ommatidia in Scer\GAL4^GMR.PF/+; Rheb^EP50.084/+ flies is largely suppressed by Tsc1^Scer\UAS.cTa with gig^Scer\UAS.cTa (ommatidial are = 0.95 of wild-type size and are only slightly disorganised.

Coexpression of gig^Scer\UAS.cTa and Tsc1^Scer\UAS.cPa under the control of Scer\GAL4^ey.PH results in a significant decrease in overall eye size and number of ommatidia. Coexpression of gig^Scer\UAS.cTa and Tsc1^Scer\UAS.cPa under the control of Scer\GAL4^GMR.PF results in eyes that are flatter and smaller than normal but which contain normal numbers of ommatidia. These ommatidia are 30% smaller than normal. The small ommatidium size caused by coexpression of gig^Scer\UAS.cTa and Tsc1^Scer\UAS.cPa under the control of Scer\GAL4^GMR.PF is suppressed by coexpression of S6k^Scer\UAS.cWa. Coexpression of gig^Scer\UAS.cTa and Tsc1^Scer\UAS.cPa in the posterior compartment of the wing under the control of Scer\GAL4^en-e16E results in a significant decrease in cell size (48% reduction), cell number (15% reduction) and size of the wing. The changes in cell size and number are limited to the posterior compartment of the wing. This combination results in 65% pupal lethality. Coexpression of both gig^Scer\UAS.cTa and Tsc1^Scer\UAS.cPa (but not either gig^Scer\UAS.cTa or Tsc1^Scer\UAS.cPa alone) rescues the lethality and extra ommatidia phenotype of flies expressing InR^Scer\UAS.cHa under the control of Scer\GAL4^ey.PH.

Expression of both Tsc1^Scer\UAS.cTa and gig^Scer\UAS.cTa in the eye under the control of Scer\GAL4^ey.PH results in a much smaller eye than normal. Coexpression of BacA\p35^Scer\UAS.cHa does not alter this phenotype. Coexpression of both CycD^Scer\UAS.cDa and Cdk4^Scer\UAS.cMa fully suppresses the phenotype. Coexpression of CycD^Scer\UAS.cDa partially suppresses the phenotype. Coexpression of CycE^Scer\UAS.cLa fully suppresses the phenotype.

Coexpression of Pten^Scer\UAS.cGb enhances the phenotype. Expression of both Tsc1^Scer\UAS.cTa and gig^Scer\UAS.cTa in the developing eye under the control of Scer\GAL4^GMR.PF reduces the growth of postmitotic cells. Expression of both Tsc1^Scer\UAS.cTa and gig^Scer\UAS.cTa in the posterior compartment of the wing under the control of Scer\GAL4^en-e16E reduces its size by approximately 2-fold. Cell density in the posterior compartment is approximately 60% higher than in control wings. Expression of both Tsc1^Scer\UAS.cTa and gig^Scer\UAS.cTa in clones in the wing imaginal disc under the control of Scer\GAL4^Act5C.PP results in a reduction in the size of cycling cells. These cells also show an increase in the population of cells in G1 at the expense of those in S phase. The proportion of cells in G2 is unchanged. All phases of the cell cycle are lengthened; G1 is lengthened by 75%, G2 by 47% and S phase by 12%. Expression of both Tsc1^Scer\UAS.cTa and gig^Scer\UAS.cTa in the wing imaginal disc under the control of Scer\GAL4^Act5C.PP results in clones that are smaller than control clones. Coexpression of BacA\p35^Scer\UAS.cHa does not alter this phenotype.
