Dataset

A set of transgenic insertion stocks derived by TE mobilization using the P-element construct P{EP}. The P{EP} construct construct carries a w[+mC] mini-white visible marker, Scer\UAS binding sites for the Scer\GAL4 transcriptional regulator, and bacterial sequences that allow plasmid rescue. The GAL4-UAS system allows regulated expression of genes proximate to the site of the insertion: genes properly oriented with respect to the Scer\UAS sequences can be conditionally expressed via transgene-derived Scer\GAL4 activity.
Insertion lines from this collection were mapped and assessed for inclusion in the Gene Disruption Project collection; flanking sequence data were submitted to GenBank.

Statement
Reference
Homozygous flies are resistant to V. cholerae infection compared to controls.
Scer\GAL4[GMR.PF]-mediated expression of Traf4[EP578] results in rough eyes with disorganized arrays of ommatidia.
Homozygous Traf4[EP578] mutant embryos appear normal.
Expression of Traf4[EP578] under the control of Scer\GAL4[GMR.PF] results in a rough eye phenotype.
The reduced eye phenotype caused by expression of Rab11[N124I.Scer\UAS] under the control of Scer\GAL4[GMR.PF] is enhanced by co-expression of Traf4[EP578].
A Traf4[EP578] mutant background suppresses the moderately rough eye phenotype observed upon expression of mbl[C.Scer\UAS] under the control of Scer\GAL4[hs.2sev].
The thoracic cleft formation observed in parkScer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC overexpression mutants (Scer\GAL4ap-md544) is suppressed by co-expression of Traf1EP578.
Overexpression of Traf1EP578, under the regulation of Scer\GAL4ap-md544 has no effect on thorax closure.
Expression of Traf1EP578 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF leads to a rough eye phenotype. Eyes have a reduced number of ommatidia, abnormally-shaped photoreceptor cells and an overall reduction in the size of the compound eye. This phenotype is more severe when two copies of Traf1EP578 are expressed. The eye imaginal discs from transgenic flies overexpressing Traf1EP578 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF contain a highly increased number of apoptotic cells in the region posterior to the morphogenetic furrow in a gene dosage-dependent manner.
Coexpression of bskScer\UAS.cBa with Traf1EP578, under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF, leads to an increase in the disturbance of the ommatidial array in the compound eye in comparison to the eye phenotype resulting from one copy overexpression of Traf1EP578. When hepScer\UAS.cBa is coexpressed with one copy of Traf1EP578, driven by Scer\GAL4GMR.PF, the number of ommatidia and the size of the compound eye are reduced to similar levels seen when two copies of Traf1EP578 are expressed. Expression of Traf1EP578, under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF, in a hep1/Y background, results in the recovery of an eye of wild-type appearance. The number of apoptotic cells in eye dsics of this genotype are decreased compared to Scer\GAL4GMR.PF>Traf1EP578 discs. Coexpression of Tak1Scer\UAS.cTa, with Traf1EP578, under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF, an increased eye roughness and reduced eye size compared to expression of just Traf1EP578. Scer\GAL4GMR.PF>Traf1EP578 expression in a Tak11 background block the rough-eye phenotype caused by Traf1EP578 overexpression. Coexpression of Traf2EP1516 with Traf1EP578, under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF, does not alter the rough-eye phenotype caused by sole overexpression of Traf1EP578.
The rprGMR.PW eye phenotypes are significantly suppressed by heterozygosity for Traf1EP578.
Co-expression of CycEScer\UAS.cLa suppresses the small eye phenotype caused by expression of Traf1EP578 under the control of Scer\GAL4ey.PH.
Expression of Traf1EP578 under the control of Scer\GAL4ey.PH results in eyes that are somewhat reduced in size. Flies expressing Traf1EP578 under the control of Scer\GAL4hs.2sev have wild-type eyes. Flies expressing Traf1EP578 under the control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E have wild-type wings.
