larval brain & neuroblast | conditional ts
Heat-shock induced expression of Crei\I-CreIhs.PR (to introduce DNA damage) in adult female flies leads to cell cycle arrest in the germline stem cells (GSCs) directly after DNA damage and then the cells resume rapid proliferation. Following the heat-shock, the mutant germaria display a reduced number of GSCs relative to no heat-shock controls and this number stays low even a week after the damage induction. No apoptotic GSCs (visualized by *Casp3 labelling) are detected in the challenged mutant germaria and the size of the nucleolus in the GSCs (indicative of rRNA production) is comparable to controls.
Crei\I-CreIhs.PR germaria in which DNA damage has been evoked by heat-shock accumulate cystoblast-like single cells compared to undamaged controls.
Expression of Crei\I-CreIhs.PR using heat shock results in a dramatic drop in the mitotic index of larval brain neuroblasts. Expression of Crei\I-CreIhs.PR using heat shock results in recombination between the X and Y chromosomes in the heterochromatic regions where the rDNA is located; approximately 20% of the offspring of males expressing Crei\I-CreIhs.PR show exceptional inheritance of X- and Y-linked markers, consistent with exchange at rDNA loci.
Heat shock induction of Crei\I-CreIhs.PR produces a high frequency of abnormal anaphases, in which chromosome fagments remain at the metaphase plate. Besides an overall reduction in the mitotic index, the frequency of anaphase cells drops significantly compared to control cells.

The loss of germline stem cells (GSCs) in female germaria observed upon heat-shock-induced expression of Crei\I-CreIhs.PR (to introduce DNA damage) cannot be rescued by Scer\GAL4nos.PU-driven expression of BacA\p35UASp.Tag:FLAG in the mutant background.
The damage-evoked loss of GSCs upon expression of Crei\I-CreIhs.PR (induced by heat-shock to introduce DNA breaks) is rescued by combination with lokp6 or lokKD in hetero-, homo- or transheterozygosity as these double mutant flies contain significantly higher number of GSCs both at 3 days and 1 week post heat-shock compared to Crei\I-CreIhs.PR single mutants. Similarly, Scer\GAL4nos.PU-driven expression of lokGL00020 or tkvQ253D.Scer\UAS.P\T or simultaneous expression of both tkvQ253D.Scer\UAS.P\T and either saxQ263D.UASp or shgUASp.Tag:FLAG also significantly suppresses the damage-evoked GSC loss in Crei\I-CreIhs.PR flies. In contrast, this loss is further exacerbated by mei-41D3 in homo- or heterozygosity or by expression of mei-41GL00284, mei-41HMS02331 or tefuHMS02790 under the Scer\GAL4nos.PU driver, expression of either grpHMS01573 or grpHMC05162 or shgUASp.Tag:FLAG has no effect on the GSCs number in Crei\I-CreIhs.PR mutant background either in the presence or absence of DNA damage. The loss of GSCs in damaged Crei\I-CreIhs.PR germaria is slightly alleviated by combination with a single copy of p535A-1-4 but is actually made worse by p535A-1-4 homozygosity.
The number of GSCs remaining after DNA-damage has been induced is slightly higher both at 3 days and 1 week post heat-shock in Crei\I-CreIhs.PR Crei\I-CreIhs.PR/+ mutants but is much decreased in Crei\I-CreIhs.PR Crei\I-CreIhs.PR/Crei\I-CreIhs.PR mutants at the later time-point, as compared to Crei\I-CreIhs.PR-only flies.
mei-41D3;Crei\I-CreIhs.PR as well as Scer\GAL4nos.PU>tefuHMS02790;Crei\I-CreIhs.PR double mutants have fewer GSCs per germarium, whereas lokKD/+;Crei\I-CreIhs.PR, lokKD/lokKD;Crei\I-CreIhs.PR or lokKD/lokp6;Crei\I-CreIhs.PR mutants have more GSCs than wild-type controls even without the induction of DNA damage by heat-shock.
Crei\I-CreIhs.PR germaria in which DNA damage has been evoked by heat-shock accumulate cystoblast-like single cells and this accumulation is accelerated by lokp6 or lokKD heterozygosity (significantly increased number of CB-like cells observed already at 3 days post heat-shock) and is strongly enhanced by bamΔ86 heterozygosity. By contrast, both lokp6 or lokKD homo- or transheterozygosity completely abolishes the CB-like cell accumulation phenotype.
BubR1unspecified, Crei\I-CreIhs.PR mutants exhibit a drop in anaphase cells essentially the same as seen in Crei\I-CreIhs.PR.
