eIF-4E1.Scer\UAS; Scer\GAL4nos.PG causes 20% embryonic lethality at 29oC. 1st instar cuticles from these animals show segmentation defects. eIF-4E1.Scer\UAS; Scer\GAL4en-e16E causes lethality at the syncytial blastoderm stage if the embyos are kept at 29oC or 25oC. However, development of these animals is normal if they are kept at 17oC for the first 72 hours of development. eIF-4E1.Scer\UASX2 adults with Scer\GAL4hs.2sev or Scer\GAL4GMR.PF have overgrowth in the eye, disruption of ommatidial pattern and ectopic interommatidial bristle.
Scer\GAL4nanos.PG/eIF4E11.UAS partially rescues eIF4E167Af/Df(3L)29A6
The lethality due to eIF-4E67Af/Df(3L)29A6 is partially rescued by eIF-4E1.Scer\UAS; Scer\GAL4nos.PG at 29oC.
