ifc4 homozygous mutant adults present significantly increased survival to starvation, increased body weight, increased adiposity in abdominal sections, and increased sizes of fat body cells and lipid droplets, as compared to controls.
ifc4 homozygous mutant adults present similar feeding behavior to controls, as assessed by postprandial meal volume, average meal frequency and volume, and caloric intake.
Testes are short and filled with cysts of 16-cell spermatocytes, which degenerate prior to completion of the growth phase.
ifc4 has abnormal starvation stress response | adult stage phenotype, enhanceable by Sk2KG05894/Sk2KG05894
ifc4 has increased cell size | adult stage phenotype, non-enhanceable by Sk2KG05894/Sk2KG05894
ifc4/ifc4 is an enhancer of abnormal starvation stress response | adult stage phenotype of Sk2KG05894
ifc4/ifc4 is an enhancer of abnormal feeding behavior | adult stage phenotype of Sk2KG05894
ifc4/ifc4 is a non-enhancer of increased cell size | adult stage phenotype of Sk2KG05894
ifc4 has adult fat body phenotype, non-enhanceable by Sk2KG05894/Sk2KG05894
ifc4 has lipid droplet | adult stage phenotype, non-enhanceable by Sk2KG05894/Sk2KG05894
ifc4/ifc4 is a non-enhancer of adult fat body phenotype of Sk2KG05894
ifc4/ifc4 is a non-enhancer of lipid droplet | adult stage phenotype of Sk2KG05894
Sk2KG05894, ifc4 double homozygous adults present a more severe increase in survival in response to starvation as compared to either Sk2KG05894 or ifc4 homozygous mutants.
The increased body weight, increased adiposity in abdominal sections, and increased sizes of fat body cells and lipid droplets observed in either ifc4 or Sk2KG05894 homozygous mutant adults are not exacerbated in ifc4, Sk2KG05894 double homozygous adults.
The increased starvation-induced appetite, but not the increased postprandial meal volume, the increased average meal frequency and volume, or the increased daily food intake, observed in Sk2KG05894 homozygous mutant adults is exacerbated by ifc4 homozygosity.
