Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Atg13Δ74/Atg13Δ81 mutant mosaic germline cells are defective in autophagy (as monitored by the lack of lysotracker staining). However, the chimeras are fully fertile with normal egg-laying behavior and hatching rates. There are no defects in egg chamber development or egg morphology. These germline mosaics do not show disruption of nurse cell apoptosis.

Homozygous clones in the larval fat body fail to induce autophagy in response to starvation.

Reference

The salivary gland tissue persistence phenotype observed in hrmΔ1/Df(2R)BSC696 transheterozygous pupae is not affected by additional Atg13Δ74 homozygosity; a similar salivary gland tissue persistence phenotype is observed in hrmΔ1/+; Atg13Δ74/Atg13Δ74 individuals.

Autophagy is no longer induced by expression of Atg1Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC under the control of Scer\GAL4Cg.PA in clones of cells that are also homozygous for Atg13Δ74.
