Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

A single copy of Vps28k16503 does not cause an eye phenotype.

Fat-body cells mutant for Vps28k16503 show an accumulation of autophagosomes in fed conditions. These cells show a reduction in autolysosomes in response to 4-hour starvation conditions.

Flies with eyes carrying Vps28k16503 clones exhibit a disorganization of the ommatidia that is externally visible as roughness of the compound eye. The majority of ommatidia within these eyes contain no visible defects, while some ommatidia are missing photoreceptor cells, some contain extra cells and others contain a full complement of cells but are still not oriented correctly. Cells within the retina contain abnormally large multivesicular bodies that have internal vesicles.

Embryos produced from homozygous Vps28k16503 germ cells exhibit major defects early in development. About one-half of these eggs are not fertilized although the micropyles are not malformed. Embryos that are fertilized and undergo nuclear divisions show developmental arrest before complete cellularization. These embryos frequently show irregular distribution of nuclei and have no pole cells. Cells that do form display an aberrant droplet-like shape. The embryos exhibit defects in the actin cytoskeleton, with some regions being devoid of actin and others containing enlarged actin bundles.

Vps28k16503 males that express Vps28Scer\UAS.cSa under the control of Scer\GAL4arm.PS are infertile and possess very few motile sperm. These males show a defect at sperm individualization, where the appearance of actin cones is disorganised compared to wild-type males.

A Vps28k16503 background does not enhance or suppress the eye degeneration phenotype found upon expression of Ppt1Scer\UAS.cKa under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF.

Vps28k16503 and Pi3K59FΔm22 double mutant clones generated in the fat-body show accumulation of autophagosomes under fed conditions, compared to none observed in Pi3K59FΔm22 single mutant clones.

Eyes that carry Vps28k16503, or49h double mutant clones show the same two phenotypes as Vps28k16503 and or49h single mutant clones.
