Expression of btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD under the control of Scer\GAL4hs.PB using two 1 hour 37oC heat shocks at 14 hours after puparium formation (APF) and at 18 hours APF almost completely blocks the "late-stage" cell death which is normally seen in pupal retinas between 26-36 hours APF. However, "early-stage" cell death (which occurs between 18-24 hours APF) seems to be unaffected in these retinas.

Ganglionic branch 1s turn prematurely before reaching the midline in btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD; Scer\GAL4bs-23.26 embryos.

Expression of btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD under the control of Scer\GAL4kni.L2 has no effect on the development of the L2 wing vein or neighbouring intervein cells.

Clones in the prospective wing hinge expressing btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD under the control of Scer\GAL4αTub84B.PZ sometimes form irregular patches (indicating mixing with surrounding cells) and sometimes form circular patches (indicating no mixing with surrounding cells).

Border cell migration is affected when btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD is expressed under the control of either Scer\GAL4slbo.2.6; no border cell migration is seen in most stage 10 egg chambers.

Expression of btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD under the control of Scer\GAL4CY2 results in the formation of ectopic wing vein material at multiple sites on the wing. Females expressing btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD under the control of Scer\GAL4CY2 produce strongly dorsalised eggs with no dorsal appendages.

Expression of btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD driven by Scer\GAL4bi-omb-Gal4 causes reduction of the wing and transformation of the ventral pleura to notum. The wing is reduced to a stump covered with sensilla characteristic of the proximal wing (hinge) region. btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD clones (driven by Scer\GAL4bi-omb-Gal4) in the adult wing form outgrowths or vesicles that differentiate structures lacking wing characteristics and that sometimes include bristles.

Expression of btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD under the control of Scer\GAL4T155 results in eggs having more than two dorsal appendages, and the resulting embryos are dorsalised. Expression of btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD under the control of Scer\GAL4E4 results in loss of posterior embryonic segments.

Embryos expressing btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD under the control of Scer\GAL4twi.PG develop an increased number of eve-expressing mesodermal progenitors compared to wild-type.

When heat shock is driven by a heat inducible Scer\GAL4 for 1 hour in young pupae, programmed cell death in the retina is blocked, causing ectopic secondary and tertiary pigment cells.

Females expressing btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD under the control of Scer\GAL4BY2 produce eggs with abnormal chorion patterns. Females expressing btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD under the control of Scer\GAL4HS1 produce severely dorsalised eggs. Embryos expressing btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD under the control of Scer\GAL4GQ2 have broader denticle belts than normal which are extended to the posterior and contain more denticles than normal. Adults expressing btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD under the control of Scer\GAL4HV1 have extra wing vein material between wing veins 2 and 3.

Some ommatidia are enlarged and irregular in flies expressing btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD under the control of Scer\GAL4T155. Females expressing btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD under the control of Scer\GAL4T155 produce eggs with a mass of dorsal appendage material around the anterior circumference of the egg. The ectopic dorsal appendage material is still produced if the females are also homozygous for grk2E12. Females expressing btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD under the control of Scer\GAL455B produce mildly dorsalised eggs that have an increase in the dorsal midline space between the appendages, or ectopic dorsal appendage material in 43% of cases. Embryos derived from these eggs have dorsalised cuticle in the anterior region and appear normal in the posterior region. Extra wing veins are produced when btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4CY2. Females expressing btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD under the control of Scer\GAL4CY2 produce eggs with no dorsal appendages. The entire anterior surface of the egg is covered in operculum-like material. Embryos derived from these eggs have strongly dorsalised cuticles. Females expressing btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD under the control of Scer\GAL4E4 produce eggs that appear wild-type. Embryos derived from these eggs have dorsalised cuticle in the posterior region. Embryos derived from females expressing btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD under the control of Scer\GAL4CU1 have strongly dorsalised cuticles.

Adults co-expressing btl::Egfrλ.UAS and Pi3K92EUAS.Tag:MYC,Tag:PM(hKRAS) under the control of Scer\GAL4repo form gliomas; the neuromuscular junction exhibits fewer active zones; neuromuscular junction and Kenyon cell projections show an enrichment in mitochondria. Adult brain mitochondria show smaller are and cristae defects.

Adults co-expressing btl::Egfrλ.UAS, Pi3K92EUAS.Tag:MYC,Tag:PM(hKRAS) and RheblexAop.cRa under the control of Scer\GAL4repo and Ecol\lexAGMR27E08 show neuromuscular junctions with more active zones.

Co-expressing btl::Egfrλ.UAS and Pi3K92EUAS.Tag:MYC,Tag:PM(hKRAS) under the control of Scer\GAL4repo.PU induces third instar larval brain overgrowths.

Co-expressing either DrakUAS.cCa or sqhDD.UAS enhances the larval brain glia hyperplasia induced by the expression of btl::Egfrλ.UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4repo.PU; glia cells lose the normal stellate shape and form abnormal cellular aggregates that disrupted normal larval brain architecture, indicative of neoplastic transformation.

Co-expressing btl::Egfrλ.UAS and Pi3K92EUAS.Tag:MYC,Tag:PM(hKRAS) under the control of Scer\GAL4repo induces glial neoplasia (glioblastoma) in the third instar larval brain, with severe increases in glial cell number and severely expanding the glial network (i.e. increased membrane volume in the brain and increased glial membrane volume/glial cell number ratio), as compared to controls; glial cells wrap clusters of neurons in individual "nests"; GRASP experiments indicate a significant increase of glia-neuron membrane interaction; the glial protrusions have markers of cytonemes (i.e. LifeAct-GFP, GMA-GFP, GPI=YFP, GFP-MLC). The third instar larval neuromuscular junction shows significantly fewer synapses, as compared to controls.

Co-expressing btl::Egfrλ.UAS and Pi3K92EUAS.Tag:MYC,Tag:PM(hKRAS) during adulthood under the combined control of Scer\GAL4repo and Gal80[ts] leads to a significantly shorter lifespan; the neuromuscular junction has significantly fewer synapses, as compared to controls.

The co-expression of groAA.Scer\UAS.P\T partially suppresses the basal stalk defects induced by the expression of btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD under the control of Scer\GAL4109-30.

The overgrowth and increased mitotic rate of intestinal stem cell somatic flip-out clones expressing btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD under the control of Scer\GAL4esg-NP5130 (using tub-Gal80[ts] to limit the time of expression/clone induction) in the adult midgut is suppressed by co-expression of either cicScer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 or cicΔC2.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1; the number of mitotic cells per adult midgut is even lower than in wild-type.

Expression of btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD does not suppress the photoreceptor differentiation defects seen in Vps43B1 mutant clones, but induces premature photoreceptor differentiation in the wild type cells surrounding the clones. The increase in cell death seen in Vps43B1 mutant clones is not suppressed by btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD.

Larvae co-expressing btl::Egfrλ.UAS alongside ifJF02695 under the control of Scer\GAL4repo show milder defects in eye disc glial cell numbers than either single expression condition.

Co-expression of btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD and Pi3K92EScer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC,T:Hsap\CAAX under the control of Scer\GAL4repo.PU induces glial overgrowth in third instar larval brains.

There are few excess glia and remaining glial cells show abnormal development. The resulting brains are smaller in size than controls, due to a reduction in both glial and neuronal cells.

Expression of RIOK2NIG.11859R suppresses the glial overgrowth seen when btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD and Pi3K92EScer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC,T:Hsap\CAAX are co-expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4repo.PU. There are few excess glia and remaining glial cells show abnormal development.

Expression of RIOK1GD8541 suppresses the increase in brain size and glial overgrowth seen when btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD and Pi3K92EScer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC,T:Hsap\CAAX are co-expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4repo.PU. There are few excess glia and remaining glial cells show abnormal development. The resulting brains are smaller in size than controls, due to a reduction in both glial and neuronal cells.

There are few excess glia and remaining glial cells show abnormal development. The resulting brains are smaller in size than controls, due to a reduction in both glial and neuronal cells.

Expression of btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PU in flwFP41 mutant follicle cell clones results in overproliferation in anterior follicle cells but not in lateral follicle cells. The amount of cell overproliferation in posterior follicle cells is increased compared to flwFP41 clones alone.

Expression of Cbl::drkCblL-RING.drk-SH2.Scer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG suppresses the dorsalised egg shell phenotype observed in animals expressing btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD under the control of Scer\GAL4EQ1.

Expression of CblL.RING.PR.Scer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG fails to suppress the dorsalised egg shell phenotype observed in animals expressing btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD under the control of Scer\GAL4EQ1.

Expression of CblL.Scer\UAS suppresses the dorsalised egg shell phenotype observed in animals expressing btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD under the control of Scer\GAL4EQ1.

Co-expression of btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD and Pi3K92EScer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC,T:Hsap\CAAX under the control of Scer\GAL4repo.PU induces progressive accumulation of ~50 fold excess glia in third instar larvae. The excess glia emerge in early larval stages and accumulate over 5-7 days. They severely disrupt the normal cellular architecture of the larval brain, lose normal stellate glial morphologies and generate multilayered aggregations of abnormal glia throughout the brain. The brains of larvae expressing btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD and Pi3K92EScer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC,T:Hsap\CAAX under the control of Scer\GAL4repo.PU also display abnormal polyploid glia.

When brain fragments from larvae co-expressing btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD and Pi3K92EScer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC,T:Hsap\CAAX under the control of Scer\GAL4repo.PU are transplanted into young wild type adult flies, the mutant glia survive and proliferate into massive tumours that fill the host abdomen, often causing premature death. Tumours are composed of small glial cells with little cytoplasm. Tumours also contain trachea embedded throughout their mass. The leading edge of the tumor harbours individual cells invading nearby tissues, such as the ovary. However some tissues, such as the gut, do not contain metastases.

btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD Pten117 double mutant clones generated under the control of Scer\GAL4repo.PU are overgrown and invasive. Cells from mutant clones appear to invade the brain, typically following fibre tracts, and sometimes inducing the formation of trachea. Mutant cells often penetrate deep into the brain. Smaller clones are commonly seen that are composed of relatively differentiated, enlarged glia with diffusely invasive projections.

btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD Pten117 double mutant clones generated using eyFLP under the control of Scer\GAL4repo.PU contain more excess glial cells than in Pten117 alone. The clones are composed of 10s of glial cells in third instar larvae, becoming large invasive tumors composed of hundreds to thousands of cells in adults.

Expression of PtenScer\UAS.cUa strongly suppresses the glial neoplasia seen in third instar larvae when btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD and Pi3K92EScer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC,T:Hsap\CAAX are co-expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4repo.PU.

These animals display exacerbated glial neoplasia, with a substantial increase in small anaplastic-like glia throughout the CNS.

Addition of Pi3K92EUAS.cUa to larvae expressing btl::Egfrλ.UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4repo enhances the phenotype of increased glial migration along the Bolwig nerve and reduces the number of excess glial cells in the eye disc.

The loss of photoreceptor cells seen in homozygous mopT612 clones in the eye disc is not rescued by expression of btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD under the control of Scer\GAL4unspecified.

Co-expression of mopScer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG and btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD under the control of Scer\GAL4ap-md544 results in overgrowth of the dorsal compartment of the wing disc.

Expression of either GugScer\UAS.cCa or aopScer\UAS.cRa have very little effect on the extra wing vein material produced in flies that overexpress btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF. However, this wing vein phenotype is suppressed when GugScer\UAS.cCa and aopScer\UAS.cRa are both expressed along with btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD (all under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF).

The ectopic photoreceptor differentiation caused by somatic clones of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PP cells in the eye disc in animals carrying btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD is not suppressed by raspT392/raspT802.

The formation of extra dorsal appendage material in eggs laid by btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD; Scer\GAL4EQ1 mothers is suppressed if those mothers also carry CblL.Scer\UAS. The resulting eggs are mildly ventralized. It also largely suppresses the dorsalization of the resulting embryos: extensive denticle belts are formed. Only weak suppression of extra dorsal appendage material is seen with CblS.Scer\UAS.

CblL.Scer\UAS suppresses wing defects seen in btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD; Scer\GAL4EQ1 adults. In contrast, CblS.Scer\UAS does not rescue this phenotype.

Scer\GAL4bi-md653>btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD; argosunspecified/+ flies produce an average 23.3 wing margin-type bristles on the capitellum of the haltere compared to 16.8 bristles produced by Scer\GAL4bi-md653>btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD flies.

Expression of btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD under the control of Scer\GAL4bi-md653 in a Ubx1/+ background results in a marginal reduction in the number of wing margin-type bristles seen on the capitellum in comparison to flies that express btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD under the control of Scer\GAL4bi-md653 in a wild-type background.

When ActnRpS27A.PD is expressed in a Scer\GAL4GR1>btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD background, all basal actin fibers are of follicle cells are transformed into a single branched or unbranched F-actin bundle.

In contrast coexpression of btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD with groAA.Scer\UAS, also under the control of Scer\GAL4sca-C253, is unable to suppress the bristle-loss phenotype seen when groAA.Scer\UAS is expressed alone.

Expression of btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD under the control of Scer\GAL4twi.PG is not able to rescue either early contact between the mesoderm and ectoderm or symmetric flattening of the mesodermal tube in the early stages of mesoderm morphogenesis in htlAB42 embryos.

The addition of btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD has no effect on the N55e11 or Df(1)svr Malpighian tubule phenotypes, including the failure of late cell divisions in the tubules.

The dorsal appendage phenotype produced by females expressing btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD under the control of Scer\GAL4CY2 is partially suppressed if the females are also homozygous for ShcBG or Shc111-40; dorsal appendage material is produced around the anterior circumference of the egg. The ectopic wing vein phenotype caused by expression of btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD under the control of Scer\GAL4CY2 is completely suppressed if the flies are also homozygous for ShcBG or Shc111-40. The dorsalised egg phenotype produced by females expressing btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD under the control of Scer\GAL4CY2 is partially suppressed if the females are also homozygous for ShcBG or Shc111-40; dorsal appendage material is produced around the anterior circumference of the egg.

When piphs.PS is expressed in females expressing btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD under the control of Scer\GAL4ET3, ventralised embryos are produced inside dorsalised egg shells.

The ventralised phenotype of eggs derived from females expressing kek1Scer\UAS.cGa under the control of Scer\GAL4T155 is overridden if the females are also coexpressing btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD; the resulting eggs are dorsalised.

When expression is driven by Scer\GAL4Bx-MS1096 in combination with styScer\UAS.cHa, the wing size of the btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD is largely normal and the wing veins, though still slightly thickened compared to wild type, are largely restored.

The lack of eve-positive mesodermal cells seen in htlAB42 and stumpsYY202 embryos is partially rescued by btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4twi.PG.

Females expressing btl::EgfrScer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD under the control of Scer\GAL4CY2 produce eggs with extremely dorsalised eggshells. This phenotype is not altered if the females are also carrying vas6356-001/Df(2L)b87e25.
