Trypsin-dissociated posterior compartment cells from third instar larval wing discs expressing E2fPIP-3A.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP under the control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E contain a similar proportion of S phase cells to 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 E2fPIP-3A.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP under the control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E induces apoptosis in the posterior compartment of intact third instar larval wing discs. A similar increase in apoptosis is seen when the wing disc cells are trypsin-dissociated and quantified using flow cytometry.

An increased number of second mitotic wave cells enter S phase in eye discs expressing E2fPIP-3A.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PU. Increased EdU staining is also seen posterior to the morphogenetic furrow, suggesting an increase in the length of S phase. Unlike in wild type, apoptosis is detected posterior to the morphogenetic furrow and an increase in DNA damage is also seen. The number of cells entering mitosis (assessed by phospho-histone H3 staining) appears unchanged.

Expression of E2fPIP-3A.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP under the control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E does not induce apoptosis in the G1-arrested epidermal cells of the embryo.

An increased amount of DNA damage is seen in third instar larval wing discs expressing E2fPIP-3A.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP under the control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E.

Expression of E2fPIP-3A.Scer\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.

Wing discs from larvae expressing E2fPIP-3A.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP under the control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E in the posterior compartment grow to a normal size and contain both S phase and mitotic cells in the posterior compartment. Extensive apoptosis is seen in the posterior compartment.

Wing disc cells from the posterior compartment which are expressing E2fPIP-3A.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP under the control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E are smaller than control wing disc cells from the anterior compartment. More of the posterior compartment cells are in S phase and fewer are in G1 compared to wild-type controls.

Adults expressing E2fPIP-3A.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP under the control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E have grossly abnormal wings.

One copy of W05014 partially suppresses the apoptosis seen in the posterior compartment of third instar larval wing discs expressing E2fPIP-3A.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP under the control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E.

Xenogenetic Interactions
Statement
Reference

Co-expression of E2fPIP-3A.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP and BacA\p35Scer\UAS.cHa under the control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E results in a range of morphological defects in third instar larval wing discs, with many discs exhibiting severe overgrowth in the posterior compartment. In approximately 1/3 of discs the posterior compartment is almost absent.
