Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

The stem cell niche in homozygous Socs36EPZ1647 or hemizygous Socs36EPZ1647/Df(2L)M36F-S5 mutant testes from newly eclosed males is abnormal. It contains only three to four germ line stem cells as compared with the wild-type average of ten. The typical positions of the missing male germline stem cells are occupied by somatic cells. Cyst progenitor cells form aberrantly broad contacts with the stem cell hub in Socs36EPZ1647 mutant testes.

Clones of Socs36EPZ1647 mutant male germline stem cells (GSCs) are normal, indicating that the GSCs do not directly require wild-type Socs36E function for their maintenance.

Clones of Socs36EPZ1647 mutant cyst progenitor cells (CPCs) in the testes out-compete wild-type CPCs. The advantage for niche occupancy that Socs36EPZ1647 mutant CPCs display over their wild-type counterparts even extends to GSCs. The number of mutant CPCs increases, there is a corresponding decline in the number of GSCs.
