Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Nearly all follicle cells in stage 13 E2f2329/E2f21-188 egg chambers show a phenotype of ectopic genomic replication, as assayed by BrdU incorporation. This phenotype is fully penetrant.

8% of eggs laid by E2f2329/Df(2L)DS8 females carrying E2f21-188 (Df(2L)E2f2329/Df(2L)DS8 females carrying E2f21-188 with Mpp6 function rescued by Mpp6+t1-188) hatch. 93% of the eggs laid by these females have chorion defects. In stage 10B through 13 egg chambers of E2f2329/Df(2L)DS8 females carrying E2f21-188 (Df(2L)E2f2329/Df(2L)DS8 females carrying E2f21-188 with Mpp6 function rescued by Mpp6+t1-188), BrdU incorporation is seen throughout the entire follicle cell nuclei, rather than in characteristic subnuclear foci (which is seen in wild type). The follicle cells do not undergo an additional endocycle in these females. 44% of eggs laid by E2f2k16402a/Df(2L)DS8 females carrying E2f21-188 (with Mpp6 function rescued by Mpp6+t1-188) hatch. 84% of the eggs laid by these females have chorion defects. 88% of the egg chambers of these females have an abnormal BrdU incorporation pattern in the follicle cell nuclei. Three types of abnormal incorporation pattern are seen; incorporation throughout the nucleus, lack of incorporation and nuclei containing both gene amplification foci and genomic incorporation.

Statement
Reference

The ectopic genomic replication that is seen in the follicle cells of stage 13 E2f2329/E2f21-188 egg chambers is partially suppressed by Orc2γ3/+ or Mcm2rL074/+; there is an approximate 65% reduction in the number of follicle cells within an egg chamber that display ectopic genomic replication and there is an apparent reduction in the intensity of ectopic BrdU incorporation.

The ectopic genomic replication that is seen in the follicle cells of stage 13 E2f2329/E2f21-188 egg chambers is partially suppressed by Orc51; the phenotype is suppressed in 36% of egg chambers.

The ectopic genomic replication that is seen in the follicle cells of stage 13 E2f2329/E2f21-188 egg chambers is partially suppressed by E2f91/+; 55% of the double mutant egg chambers show a 50% reduction in the number of follicle cells exhibiting ectopic genomic replication compared to the single mutant egg chambers.
