UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Garland cells expressing Vps39GD12152 under the control of Scer\GAL4pros.PU are enlarged and show enlarged late endosomes (Rab7-positive puncta), but not early endosomes (Rab5-positive puncta).
Under starvation, larval fat body clones expressing Vps39GD12152 under the control of Scer\GAL4Act.PU lack the bright lysosome (Lamp-positive) and autolysosome (mCh-Atg8a-positive) puncta normally observed in controls, showing instead only 'clouds' of many faint autophagosome puncta (endogenous Atg8a-positive). These clones also show enlarged Rab7-positive puncta, which represent both autophagosomes and lysosomes in these cells.
Expression of carGD1397 under the control of Scer\GAL4unspecified results in larval garland nephrocytes that exhibit enlargement of late endosomes and enlarged vacuoles with multiple dense cores, as compared to controls.
Fat body cell clones expressing Vps39GD12152 under the control of Scer\GAL4Scer\FRT.Rnor\CD2.Act5C exhibit impaired starvation-induced autophagy.
Adults expressing Vps39GD12152 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu (in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa to increase the efficiency of RNAi) do not show a significant defect in avoidance of noxious temperature (46[o]C) compared to control flies.
Expression of Vps39GD12152 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu (in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa to increase the efficiency of RNAi) results in viable flies or partial lethality, depending on the particular P{GD12152} insertion line used.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 results in a colour difference between the central Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 expression domain of the notum and the surrounding lateral region in 0%, 30-40% or 80-90% of the Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 expression domain, depending on the insertion line used.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 results in bristle morphology defects on the notum in 0%, 10-20% or 80-90% of the Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 expression domain, depending on the insertion line used.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 results in the absence of 0%, 10-20% or 20-30% of the Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237-expressing area of the notum, depending on the insertion line used.
Scer\GAL4nSyb.PU/Vps39GD12152 is a suppressor of abnormal neurophysiology | third instar larval stage phenotype of sky1/sky2
Vps39GD12152/Scer\GAL4hh-Gal4 is a suppressor of phenotype of l(2)gd1d7
The increase in excitatory junctional current amplitude at the neuromuscular junction which is seen in sky1/sky2 larvae is suppressed if they are also expressing Vps39GD12152 under the control of Scer\GAL4nSyb.PU. However, the increased synaptic vesicle trafficking to endosomes seen at the neuromuscular junction in the sky1/sky2 larvae is not suppressed.
Scer\GAL4hh-Gal4-mediated expression of Vps39GD12152 suppresses the ectopic N activation phenotype (ectopic expression of wg) in the posterior of l(2)gd1d7 wing discs.
