Overexpression of Cad99CEXTRA.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 in the salivary gland under the control of Scer\GAL4fkh.PH results in apical salivary gland membrane expansion. These mutants exhibit an increase in microvilli-like structures and causes apical membranes to protrude into the lateral domain. Mutant salivary glands display stretched adherens junctions and wider apical domains in each cell compared to wild-type, consistent with an increase in apical domain size.
Salivary gland cells expressing Cad99CEXTRA.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4fkh.PH reveal rounded basal surfaces and wider spaces between neighboring cells, indicating a loss of cell-cell contact nearly everywhere other than the septate junction.
Follicle cell clones expressing Cad99CEXTRA.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PP have abnormal bundles of microvilli.
Cad99CEXTRA.UAS.Tag:HA, Scer\GAL4fkh.PH has abnormal cell adhesion phenotype, non-suppressible by sas15
Cad99CEXTRA.UAS.Tag:HA, Scer\GAL4fkh.PH has embryonic/larval salivary gland phenotype, non-suppressible by sas15
A sas15 mutant background does not affect the Cad99CEXTRA.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 overexpression phenotype.
