No excess neuroblasts are seen in erm1 mutant brains.

erm1/Df(2L)erm2 mutant clones originating from either a single ase+ immature Intermediate Neural Progenitor (INP) or INP contain an increased number of neuroblasts 'reverted clones' compared to controls.

Supernumerary neuroblasts are seen in hypomorphic erm mutant larval brains (i.e. erm1/Df(2L)erm2 mutants expressing ermT:Zzzz\FLAG).

Expression of ermzf.Scer\UAS.T:Hsim\VP16 under the control of an insertion of Scer\GAL4GMR9D11 that expresses in ase[+] immature Intermediate Neural Progenitors (INPs) (P{GMR9D11-GAL4}attP2) enhances the supernumerary neuroblast phenotype seen in erm1/Df(2L)erm2 mutant larval brains.

erm1/Df(2L)erm2 mutant clones originating from a single type II neuroblast contain multiple neuroblasts per clone.

erm1 larval brains contain over 20-fold more type II neuroblasts than wild type brains, with no significant change in the number of type I neuroblasts.

48 hours after induction, erm1 type II neuroblast clones in larval brains contain fewer Intermediate Neural Progenitors and multiple, ectopic type II neuroblasts compared to wild type clones.

72 hours after induction, marked Intermediate Neural Progenitor clones in the larval brain in a wild type background contain only differentiated neurons. In contrast, similar marked clones in a erm1/Df(2L)erm2 background contain one or more de-differentiated type II neuroblasts as well as immature Intermediate Neural Progenitors, Intermediate Neural Progenitors, Ganglion Mother Cells and neurons.

erm1 mutant larval brain hemispheres contain more than 50 glial chambers, each containing one or more type II neuroblasts and their progeny. This is in contrast to wild type hemispheres that contain 8 glial chambers encapsulating eight individual type II neuroblast lineages.

One copy of erm1 enhances the supernumerary type II neuroblast phenotype seen in bratDG19310/brat11 mutants.

In contrast to bratDG19310/brat11 clones alone, clones originating from either a single ase+ immature Intermediate Neural Progenitor (INP) or INP that are also heterozygous for erm1 contain an increased number of neuroblasts 'reverted clones'. This phenotype is reversed upon expression of ermScer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR9D11. This rescue is seen using an insertion line of the driver that expressed in ase[-] INPs (P{GMR9D11-GAL4}2) and one that expresses in ase[+] INPs (P{GMR9D11-GAL4}attP2).

Expression of prosL.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4CG31670.R9D11 suppresses ectopic neuroblasts and restores neuronal differentiation in erm1 larval brains.

Expression of NGD14477 (together with Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa) under the control of Scer\GAL4wor.PA in erm1 larval brains leads to a dramatic reduction in ectopic type II neuroblasts compared to erm1 brains alone.
