Expression of a mutated form of RhoL (carries the amino acid replacement G20V) is driven by an Hsp70 promoter.
follicle cell

Heat induced expression causes nurse cell subcortical actin breakdown and disruption of nurse cell-follicle cell contacts, followed by germ cell apoptosis. Border cell migration shows no defects.
