Expression of gcmScer\UAS.cHa under the control of Scer\GAL4sca-T3 results in a reduction in the number of elav-positive neurons and axonal extension in embryos.
The central nervous system is markedly disorganised in embryos expressing gcmScer\UAS.cHa under the control of Scer\GAL4sca-537.4.
Stage 13-15 embryos expressing gcmScer\UAS.cHa under the control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E have extra glial cells and do not have neurons of the NB6-4T lineage.
Embryonic epidermal cells expressing gcmScer\UAS.cHa under the control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E move from the surface cell layer towards the inside of the body and are mesenchymal in morphology in contrast to the columnar shape of normal epithelial cells. Embryos expressing gcmScer\UAS.cHa under the control of Scer\GAL469B are severely malformed and show defects in dorsal closure. Embryos expressing gcmScer\UAS.cHa under the control of Scer\GAL4twi.PG show severe disruption of the somatic muscles; although muscle fibres are formed, they are very reduced in number compared with controls.
Scer\GAL4-mediated expression transforms most neurons into glia.
Ectopic expression of gcm inhibits neuronal differentiation while promoting glial differentiation.
Scer\GAL4sca-T3, gcmUAS.cHa has abnormal neuroanatomy phenotype, suppressible by repo64
Scer\GAL4sca-T3, gcmUAS.cHa has abnormal neuroanatomy phenotype, non-suppressible by pntΔ88
Scer\GAL4sca-T3, gcmUAS.cHa has larval neuron phenotype, suppressible by repo64
Scer\GAL4sca-T3, gcmUAS.cHa has larval neuron phenotype, non-suppressible by pntΔ88
Embryos expressing gcmScer\UAS.cHa under the control of Scer\GAL4sca-T3 show a dramatic restoration of elav-positive cells and neuronal development if they are also mutant for repo64. pntΔ88 or ttkB330 have no detectable and minor effects respectively on the neuronal defects seen in embryos expressing gcmScer\UAS.cHa under the control of Scer\GAL4sca-T3.
