UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of dia cDNA SD13607 in which the N-terminal 449 amino acids have been replaced by a short sequence encoding three Tag:HA tags, and the C-terminal amino acids 1029-1091 (the predicted autoinhibitory domain) have been removed. Encodes an activated form of dia.
Salivary gland primordia expressing diaCA.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4fkh.PH still form an invagination pit during stage 11 of embryogenesis, although much wider, but fail to form a supra-cellular myosin cable, exhibit significantly decreased circularity, and their cells apically expand instead of constricting during invagination, as compared to controls; the region to the anterior of the presumptive invagination site fails to cluster the primordium cells with lower apical surface area, and these cells form only small- and medium-sized apical foci of Rok protein but no apical foci of myosin, as compared to controls. These diaCA.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1-expressing salivary gland primordia exhibit a significant delay in internalization and migration by stage 14 of embryogenesis, as compared to controls.
Expression via Scer\GAL4slbo.2.6 leads to the appearance of F-actin-rich foci in cells.
Expression of diaCA.UAS.Tag:HA under the control of Scer\GAL4dpp.PU or Scer\GAL430A results in overgrowth of the expressing region of the wing disc; overgrowth is characterised by increased proliferation (BrdU incorporation) and extra folding of the disc. Expression of diaCA.UAS.Tag:HA under the control of Scer\GAL430A causes overgrowth of the presumptive wing hinge region, where some expressing cells leave the epithelium and have abnormal DAPI staining; cells that remain in the epithelium have similar polarity to non-expressing cells. Expression of diaCA.UAS.Tag:HA under the control of Scer\GAL4dpp.PU also increases the size of the leg disc.
Expression of diaCA.UAS.Tag:HA under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PU causes lethality prior to eclosion; escapers have severe defects in eye morphology.
Embryos expressing diaCA.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of either Scer\GAL4en-e16E or Scer\GAL4prd.RG1 have deep epidermal grooves. The epidermis appears to impinge upon the dorsal trunk in these embryos and the underlying trachea are more convoluted than wild type. No breaks in the tracheal lateral trunk are seen in these embryos.
Flies expressing diaCA.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 in the Johnston's organ under the control of Scer\GAL4ph-p-NP1046, Scer\GAL4CG13795-NP1245, Scer\GAL4NP6303 or Scer\GAL4JO15 display an impaired response to sound. A significant reduction in sound-evoked potentials compared with wild-type and parental controls is observed in these animals.
Expression of diaCA.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4mat.αTub67C.T:Hsim\VP16 results in a collapse of the epithelium, and the apical cell surfaces are reduced in size in embryos at germ-band extension.
Expression of diaCA.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 in pupal eye MARCM clones does not affect the adherens junctions. diaCA.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 expressing cells develop a rounded morphology, especially primary pigment epithelial cells.
Expression of diaCA.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E in individual amnioserosa cells induces premature apical constriction in these cells, and neighbouring wild-type cells become elongated. Cortical F-actin is increased in the cells that express diaCA.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E.
Expression of diaCA.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4c381 in all amnioserosal cells results in all the cells becoming apically smaller and uniformly round, suggesting that they all attempt to constrict simultaneously. Cortical F-actin is increased in the amnioserosa cells. The network of apical myosin filaments that is normally seen in wild-type cells become reorganised into stress-fibre-like bundles parallel to the epithelium.
Dorsal closure is substantially slowed in embryos expressing diaCA.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4c381 compared to wild type. Most of the embryos do complete dorsal closure, but have defects in cell-cell matching as the two epidermal sheets meet.
Segmental grooves persist much longer than normal in embryos expressing diaCA.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of either Scer\GAL4en-e16E or Scer\GAL4prd.RG1 and become very deep. Epidermal cells expressing diaCA.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of either Scer\GAL4en-e16E are wider in the anterior/posterior axis and shorter in the dorsal/ventral axis than neighbouring wild-type cells.
Epidermal cells expressing diaCA.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E have elevated cortical F-actin levels compared to wild type.
Epidermal cells expressing diaCA.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4prd.RG1 have higher levels of cortical myosin compared to wild-type neighbouring cells, with myosin being especially enriched at the dorsal/ventral cell borders.
Expression of diaCA.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 pan-neuronally under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 results in disruption of CNS fasciculation and thinning of commissures and breaks in connectives can be observed.
Overexpression of diaCA.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1, under the control of Scer\GAL4btl.PS, leads to fusion defects in the dorsal trunk, constrictions at the fusion cells, widening at other areas of the dorsal trunk and impairments of terminal branch differentiation.
Border cell migration is blocked by expression of diaCA.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4slbo.2.6.
