    key1/Df(2R)BSC856 transheterozygotes infected with DCV do not show significant differences in survival or viral load, as compared to infected controls.

    As measured by H[[2]]O[[2]] ingestion, key1 mutants are more resistant to oxidative stress than wild-type.

    In the absence of infection, key1 mutants have rates of intestinal stem cell (ISC) division that is at least three time as high as those of control flies. Vibrio cholerae infection results in decreased ISC proliferation, however, compared with wild-type, ISC division rates remain elevated in the mutant.

    There is no significant difference in bacterial load after infection with Vibrio cholerae between control and mutant flies.

    Mutant flies are sensitive to injection with E. coli and all flies die within 40 hours of infection.

    Homozygous flies are resistant to V. cholerae infection compared to controls.

    Compared to controls, homozygous flies are more resistant to infection with a V. cholerae ΔctxB mutant.

    The susceptibility of homozygous mutants to infection by V. cholerae by septic injury is not significantly different to controls.

    key1 mutant flies show a very high bacterial load and a strong susceptibility to E. cloacae or E. coli infection.

    key1 flies exhibit a dramatically decreased viability when pricked with a needle dipped in a concentrated solution of gram-negative Esherichia coli or Erwinia carotovora.

    High mortality levels are observed when key1 flies are fed on the ROS-resistant KNU53775 yeast strain but are not observed when they are fed on a standard yeast strain (W303). Wild-type flies do not show the same sensitivity to the KNU53775 strain.

    Mutant flies show reduced survival compared to wild-type controls after infection with E. coli.

    key1 flies are susceptible to infection by Gram-negative bacteria.

    key1 homozygous flies show a severe susceptibility to E.coli infection (all flies die within 3 days of infection) and close to wild type resistance to Gram-positive Streptococcus faecalis.

    Mutant flies show significantly lower resistance to E.coli infections than wild-type flies. Mutant flies show the same level of resistance to B.bassiana (when their cuticles are coated with spores) as wild-type flies.

    Additional Comments
    Genetic Interactions
    Statement
    Reference

    Short term starvation does not improve the survival of Dif1-key1 double mutants following infection with Gram-negative bacteria.

    key1 does not suppress the notching phenotypes and low adult viability seen in homozygous PGRP-LF200 mutants.

    A key1 background suppresses the wing notches seen when PGRP-LFdsRNA.1.Scer\UAS is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4en.PU.

    Dif1 key1 double mutants die at the same rate as Dif1 single mutants when infected with either P.acidolactici, E.faecalis, or S.saprophyticus.

    Dif1 key1 double mutants die at the same rate as Dif1 mutants when their cuticles are coated with spores of B.bassiana.
