The expression of ShrmB.UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4A9 induces a small wrinkled wing.
Expression of ShroomB.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4arm.PS results in embryonic lethality due to multiple defects in morphogenesis. This appears to results from excessive apical constriction and subsequent disruption of the adherens junction in the embryonic ectoderm.
Overexpression of ShroomB.Scer\UAS in the dorsal ectoderm under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 causes defects in dorsal closure but most mutant embryos complete the process. However, many of these embryos show defects at the cellular level such that the leading edge cells are not elongated along the dorsal-ventral axis and the segments are not often matched correctly at the midline. As a result, approximately 45% of these embryos exhibit variable defects at the dorsal midline, ranging from completely open to small holes or puckering. ShroomB.Scer\UAS expression causes leading edge cells to lose their elongated shape and appear apically constricted, exhibiting an approximate 50% decrease in apical area.
Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237, ShrmB.UAS has epithelial cell phenotype, suppressible by RokSBD.UAS.Tag:MYC, Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237
Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237, ShrmB.UAS has dorsal ectoderm phenotype, suppressible by RokSBD.UAS.Tag:MYC, Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237
Co-expression of rokSBD.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC with ShroomB.Scer\UAS, both under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 blocks the epithelial cell apical constriction seen in ShroomA.Scer\UAS single mutants.
