udtf03018 homozygous and udtf03018/udtΔ transheterozygous stage 16-17 embryos show leaky blood-brain barrier and trachea as, unlike in controls, dye injected into the body cavity diffuses into the ventral nerve cord and into the trachea. Although the ventral nerve cord show an apparently normal morphology, the trachea appears convoluted, as compared to controls.

The trachea of udtf03018 homozygous stage 16 embryos does not seem to form septate junctions, as the associated proteins NrxIV, Cora and Dlg1 are found all along the basolateral membrane instead of restricted to the apical cell-cell contact domains. Likewise, in stage 17 embryo epidermis and hindgut cells NrxIV is also mislocalized and septate junction strands are not visible at the ultrastructural level. These defects do not seem to be associated with overall cell polarity defects, as those protein are never found in the apical domain and the distribution of the adherens junction protein E-Cad is unchanged.

udtf03018 homozygous clones in the first-instar wing imaginal disc are numerous and well integrated into the imaginal tissue; these seem to have some septate junction.

The expression of either udtUAS.cPa or udtΔGPI.UAS.Tag:HA under the control of either Scer\GAL4da.G32 or Scer\GAL4en-e16E rescues both the viability and blood-brain and trachea barrier defects observed in udtf03018 homozygotes; Scer\GAL4en-e16E>udtUAS.cPa also rescues the mislocalization of the septate junction protein NrxIV in the stage 17 embryo hindgut. Their expression under the control of Scer\GAL4repo only rescues the blood-brain barrier defect, as it does not rescue viability and the trachea is still leaky. Scer\GAL4en-e16E>udtΔGPI.UAS.Tag:HA also rescues the mislocalization of the septate junction protein NrxIV in the stage 17 embryo epidermis and hindgut.

The expression of either udtUAS.Tag:MYC,Tag:SS(rCd2) or udtΔGPI.UAS.Tag:MYC,Tag:SS(rCd2) under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32 rescues both the viability and blood-brain and trachea barrier defects observed in udtf03018 homozygotes. Their expression under the control of either Scer\GAL4repo or Scer\GAL4en-e16E only rescues the blood-brain barrier defect, as it does not rescue viability and the trachea is still leaky.

The expression of either udtUAS.Tag:HA or udt3xA.UAS.HA under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32 rescues both the viability and blood-brain and trachea barrier defects observed in udtf03018 homozygotes. Their expression under the control of Scer\GAL4repo only rescues the blood-brain barrier defect, as it does not rescue viability and the trachea is still leaky. Their expression under the control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E only partially rescues the blood-brain barrier defect, as it does not rescue viability and the trachea is still leaky. Scer\GAL4en-e16E>udtUAS.Tag:HA and Scer\GAL4en-e16E>udt3xA.UAS.HA also rescue the mislocalization of the septate junction protein NrxIV in the stage 17 embryo epidermis and hindgut.

The expression of udtTM.UAS.Tag:HA,Tag:M(mCd8a), udtTM.UAS.Tag:HA,Tag:M(mCd8a),EGFP or udtTM.UAS.Tag:MYC,Tag:SS(rCd2),Tag:M(mCd8a) under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32 rescues both the viability and blood-brain and trachea barrier defects observed in udtf03018 homozygotes. Their expression under the control of Scer\GAL4repo only rescues the blood-brain barrier defect, as it does not rescue viability and the trachea is still leaky. Their expression under the control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E fails to rescue viability as well as the blood-brain barrier and trachea barrier defects. Scer\GAL4en-e16E>udtTM.UAS.Tag:HA,Tag:M(mCd8a),EGFP, however, rescues the mislocalization of the septate junction protein NrxIV in the stage 17 embryo epidermis and hindgut, but not in the trachea.
