Adulthood-only expression of E2f1UASp.EGFP under the control of Scer\GAL4esg.PU leads to increased mitoses in the adult gut.
Approximately 12% of trypsin-dissociated posterior compartment cells from third instar larval wing discs expressing E2fScer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP under the control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E are in S phase, compared to ~27% of controls. The rate of proliferation in these cells is increased, with ~11% of cells having a G1 DNA content compared to around 28% in controls.
Expression of E2fScer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP under the control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E does not increase apoptosis levels in the posterior compartment of intact third instar larval wing disc cells compared to controls. The same is seen when the wing disc cells are trypsin-dissociated and quantified using flow cytometry.
The cells of the second mitotic wave in eye discs expressing E2fScer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PU show the stereotypical pattern of S phase seen in wild type. As in wild type flies, very few cells enter apoptosis immediately posterior to the morphogenetic furrow and levels of DNA damage are similar to controls.
Expression of E2fScer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP under the control of Scer\GAL4arm.PS results in ectopic BrdU incorporation in the anterior and posterior midgut in embryos.

Co-expression of E2fScer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP and BacA\p35Scer\UAS.cHa under the control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E produces a range of morphological defects in third instar larval wing discs. Whilst some discs appear normal, most display varying degrees of overgrowth in the posterior compartment.
