Overexpression of shgUbi-p63E.T:Avic\GFP-rs in the embryonic epidermis under the control of Scer\GAL4mat.αTub67C.T:Hsim\VP16 results in delayed wound closure compared with wild-type.
shgUbi-p63E.T:Avic\GFP-rs clones generated in the histoblasts are largely excluded from the expanding front of the histoblast nest, and are observed remaining in the center of the nest.
Expression of shgUbi-p63E.T:Avic\GFP-rs results in flies laying about 50% unfertilised eggs in some transgenic lines.
shgUbi-p63E.sgGFP, Scer\GAL4pnr.PU is a non-enhancer of abnormal cell migration | pupal stage | somatic clone - tissue specific phenotype of CG7379GD12222, Scer\GAL4pnr.PU
shgUbi-p63E.sgGFP is a suppressor | partially of abnormal cytokinesis | male phenotype of Scer\GAL4VP16.bam, scraGD9720

shgUbi-p63E.sgGFP is a suppressor | partially of spermatid phenotype of Scer\GAL4VP16.bam, scraGD9720
shgUbi-p63E.sgGFP, Scer\GAL4pnr.PU is a non-suppressor of epithelial cell | pupal stage | somatic clone - tissue specific phenotype of CG7379GD12222, Scer\GAL4pnr.PU

shgUbi-p63E.T:Avic\GFP-rs does not significantly change the impaired epidermal cell elongation phenotype seen during dorsal closure stages in embryos expressing Rab11S25N.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E.
The cytokinesis defects that are seen in the spermatids of males expressing scraGD9720 under the control of Scer\GAL4bam.T:Hsim\VP16 are significantly suppressed by co-expression of shgUbi-p63E.T:Avic\GFP-rs such that 39.1% of spermatids are mononucleate, 19.3% are binucleate and 41.6% have four nuclei.
shgUbi-p63E.sgGFP rescues shgR69
Expression of shgUbi-p63E.T:Avic\GFP-rs rescues the lethality of shgR69. The head, ventral epidermis and tracheal defects of shgR69 are almost completely rescued by shgUbi-p63E.T:Avic\GFP-rs.
When shgUbi-p63E.T:Avic\GFP-rs is present, shgR69 mutant cell clones are able to grow in size in the epithelia. These epithelia developed normally into adult tissues.
When shgUbi-p63E.T:Avic\GFP-rs is present in the background, egg chambers containing shgR69 mutant germ-line clones show normal development.
Cellularization occurs normally in embryos mutant for both maternal and zygotic shgR69 that carry shgUbi-p63E.T:Avic\GFP-rs. Similarly, in the presence of shgUbi-p63E.T:Avic\GFP-rs, posterior invagination occurs normally, and the ectoderm initiates extension and maintains epithelial integrity in embryos mutant for both maternal and zygotic shgR69.
