UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of a constitutively activated, ligand-independent form of N. The signal sequence and signal cleavage site of Dl (amino acid residues 1-27) are fused to N sequence from amino acid 1742 to the end of the coding sequence. A frameshift mutation in the N coding sequence causes premature termination after amino acid residue 2235 with 4 residues (RPPT) appended to the C terminus.

Expression of Dl::NΔECN.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4eg-Mz360 triggers precocious death of vCrz neurons in larvae.
Expression of Dl::NΔECN.Scer\UAS under the control of both Scer\GAL4insc-Mz1407 and Scer\GAL80ase.PZ results in an increase in the number of type II neuroblasts and numerous small non-ase-expressing immature intermediate neural progenitors (INPs) in third larval instar brains.
100% of males expressing Dl::NΔECN.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Abd-B-LDN show incomplete genitalia rotation.
Expression of Dl::NΔECN.Scer\UAS under the control of either Scer\GAL4C855a or Scer\GAL4c768 during the third larval instar stage (using the temperature sensitive Scer\GAL80ts.αTub84B allele to temporally limit expression) results in an expansion of neuroepithelial cells in the optic lobe while medulla neurogenesis is suppressed compared to wild type.
Expression of Dl::NΔECN.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Act.PU in clones in the outer proliferation center of the larval optic lobe results in ectopic neuroepithelial cells which form rosettes separated from the neuroepithelium.
Follicular cells expressing Dl::NDeltaECN.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4e22c have normal cell shape at S9, but constricted cell apices at S10B.
Expression of Dl::NΔECN.Scer\UAS in cells behind the morphogenetic furrow in the developing eye disc, under the control of Scer\GAL4hs.2sev causes the loss of R1 and R6 photoreceptor cells.
Cells in the pretarsal epithelium at the tip of the late third instar leg disc that are expressing Dl::NΔECN.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4ptc-559.1 appear to invaginate, resulting in an indentation in the epithelium. This is in contrast to control discs, where the pretarsal epithelium forms a flat sheet at the same stage.
When Dl::NΔECN.Scer\UAS is driven by Scer\GAL4sca-109-68 R8 photoreceptor cells are often missing. Adult eyes are small and rough.
Expression of Dl::NΔECN.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4eg-Mz360 disrupts the differentiation of the NB7-3 progeny; EW1, EW2 and EW3 are undetectable. Most EW1 cells appear to have been converted to a GW cell fate (as assayed by molecular marker expression). Novel apoptosis within the NB7-3 lineage is seen in the mutant embryos. Some of these animals eclose as adults, but die within several days.
Follicles containing clones expressing Dl::NΔECN.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI can show an increase in the number of polar cells at their normal location at the anterior and posterior ends of the follicle. In each case, mosaic follicles with an increased number of polar cells show an increase in the number of outer border cells. The additional polar cells are surrounded by outer border follicle cells and they migrate normally through the nurse cells. The number of outer border cells that are specified and migrate with each cluster is proportional to the number of additional polar cells.
Expression of Dl::NΔECN.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4byn-Gal4 results in embryos with hindguts that are dramatically shorter and wider than wild type. The lumen of the hindgut is wider than normal and there are more cells than normal in the circumference of the hindgut. Expression of Dl::NΔECN.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4455.2 does not affect hindgut elongation, but ectopic hindgut boundary cells are seen.
Expression of Dl::NΔECN.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI in clones in the wing disc can cause prominent outgrowth of the disc.
Expression of Dl::NΔECN.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4byn-Gal4 results in the dorsal portion of the large intestine developing into border cells, resulting in a hump-like bulge.
Expression of Dl::NΔECN.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 results in the dorsal bipolar dendritic (dbd) neuron being replaced with an extra repo-positive cell which resembles a glial cell in 83% of hemisegments. The dorsal dendritic arbor (dda) neurons are absent in these embryos.
When expression is driven in clones by Scer\GAL4unspecified extra polar cells develop at the termini of the egg chamber, though not in the main body follicle cells.
When Dl::NΔECN.Scer\UAS is expressed in embryos under the control of Scer\GAL4btl.PS, all esg-expressing cells disappear from the tip of the fusion branches in the tracheal system and there is no sign of contact between fusion branches. In addition, anterior migration of the dorsal trunk is inhibited and it becomes short and thick. The total number of tracheal cells per metamere is not significantly different from control embryos.
Ectopic joint structures are produced perpendicular to the normal axis in the legs of flies expressing Dl::NΔECN.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4ptc-559.1. Truncation of the leg and disruption of claw development is also seen. Clones in tarsal segment 1 of the prothoracic leg expressing Dl::NΔECN.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI show duplicated sex combs. Clones in the leg expressing Dl::NΔECN.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI result in outgrowth of leg tissue. The outgrowth is composed of a mixture of wild-type cells and cells expressing Dl::NΔECN.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI. Sex combs, which normally form on tarsal segment 1, are also sometimes seen on tarsal segment 3 of the prothoracic leg.
Flip-out somatic clones in the wing disc, in which there is clonal ectopic expression of Dl::NΔECN.Scer\UAS, can respect the dorsal-ventral border, and those clones produced early enough to be of mixed dorsal and ventral identity can extend across the border without disrupting compartmentalization.
Mature sensory organ precursors (SOPs) of the femoral chordotonal sense organ are missing in leg discs in which Dl::NΔECN.Scer\UAS is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4sca-109-68. Formation of bristle SOPs is also strongly suppressed in these animals.
Embryos expressing Dl::NΔECN.Scer\UAS in the mesoderm under the control of Scer\GAL4twi.PBa show disruption of muscle development, although muscle progenitor cells are initially specified normally. Expression of Dl::NΔECN.Scer\UAS in the ectoderm under the control of Scer\GAL4112A does not affect overall ectodermal morphology, but causes a striking disruption of muscle patterning; many unfused myoblasts are present and muscle fibres are often inappropriately positioned or formed (thinner than normal). Most hemisegments show some duplication or loss of muscles and some fused syncytia are rounded and unattached to the epidermis. There is some suppression of neurogenesis in these embryos. Expression of Dl::NΔECN.Scer\UAS in the ectoderm under the control of Scer\GAL469B results in some disruption of the central nervous system and some loss of uniformity in segmentation.
ZNC is still present in the developing wing of animals expressing Dl::NΔECN.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4C96, though the cells arrest in G1.
The dorsal half of the eye disc is enlarged in larvae expressing Dl::NΔECN.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI.
Scer\GAL4da.G32-mediated expression generates aneural embryos.
Presence of Scer\GAL4twi.PBa causes abnormal epidermal development and a hypertrophy of muscle founder cells.
Shows an antineurogenic activity when expressed from Scer\GAL4h-1J3. When driven by Scer\GAL4ptc-559.1 at 16oC animals die as early pupae, but third instar wing discs display extreme outgrowths in dorsal and ventral compartments.
Scer\GAL41407 induced expression causes transformation of neurons to sheath cells. Scer\GAL4sca-109-68 induced expression causes 90% of the bristles in the notum to form double sockets, or less frequently triple or four sockets.
Scer\GAL4112A induced expression causes a neurogenic phenotype. Scer\GAL4hs.PB induced expression causes long stalk formation in the germarium, a fully formed stalk is not affected. Cellular morphology of the stalk resembles wild type stalks. The severity of the stalk phenotype correlates with the length of the precursor cell stage, culminating in a complete block at the precursor stage. Scer\GAL4hs.PB induced expression also causes loss of anterior and posterior polar cells of the egg chambers, causing a defect in oocyte anterior-posterior axis. Egg chambers do not develop further and become necrotic. Scer\GAL4109(3)9 induced expression causes premature ooplasmic streaming in stage 8 oocytes.

The co-expression of Dl::NΔECN.UAS and pnutGD1512 from the second instar larval stage under the combined control of Scer\GAL4ap-md544 and Gal80[ts] does not leads to the formation of tumors in the third instar larval wing disc.
Presence of the Df(3L)banΔ1 or Df(3L)banΔ1 mutations leads to full suppression of the ectopic neuroblast formation, increased neuroblast numbers and tumorigenesis seen in clones expressing Dl::NΔECN.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PU.
The germarium cap cell loss resulting from the expression of enokGD4037 can be fully rescued by forced expression of Dl::NΔECN.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4bab1-Gal4 and Scer\GAL80ts.αTub84B.
The germline stem cell loss resulting from the expression of enokGD4037 can be partially rescued by forced expression of Dl::NΔECN.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4bab1-Gal4 and Scer\GAL80ts.αTub84B.
Expression of Dl::NΔECN.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4bab1-Gal4 (limited to the adult stages using Scer\GAL80ts.αTub84B) significantly suppresses the germline stem cell and cap cell loss seen in InR339/InRE19 mutant week old females.
The presence of Ras85DV12.sev in cells expressing Dl::NΔECN.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4hs.2sev suppresses the loss of R1 and R6 photoreceptor cells.
When Dl::NΔECN.Scer\UAS and enScer\UAS.cTa are co-expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4byn-Gal4, the entire large intestine differentiates into boundary cells. Expression of Dl::NΔECN.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4byn-Gal4 in a DlRevF10 mutant background results in boundary cell differentiation throughout the entire large intestine.
Embryos coexpressing Dl::NΔECN.Scer\UAS and nubScer\UAS.cNa under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 have a few extra repo-positive glial cells dorsally to the dorsal dendritic arbor (dda) lineage.
Flies expressing both pnrD4.Scer\UAS and Dl::NΔECN.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4ey.PH show restored photoreceptor differentiation in the eye disc. Flies expressing both wgScer\UAS.cAa and Dl::NΔECN.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4ey.PH show photoreceptor differentiation initiating all around the margins in the eye disc.
Flip-out somatic clones in the wing disc, in which there is clonal ectopic expression of both Dl::NΔECN.Scer\UAS and fngScer\UAS.cKa, show a slight but consistent extension into the dorsal compartment.
Leg discs in which both rhoScer\UAS.cGa and Dl::NΔECN.Scer\UAS are expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4sca-109-68 have a phenotype resembling that of rhoScer\UAS.cGa expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4sca-109-68 rather than that of Dl::NΔECN.Scer\UAS expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4sca-109-68.
When discs expressing Dl::NΔECN.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4C96 are also mutant for wg, no ZNC forms at all.
Simultaneous expression of daScer\UAS.cGa and l(1)scScer\UAS.cHa does not rescue the aneural phenotype caused by Scer\GAL4da.G32-mediated expression of Dl::NΔECN.Scer\UAS.
