Expression of nclbScer\UAS.P\T.cCa in the germline under the control of Scer\GAL4nos.UTR.T:Hsim\VP16 is sufficient to rescue the germline loss phenotype observed in nclb1/nclb2 mutants. Rescued testes have a wild-type appearance, with numerous germline stem cells associated with the hub and ample numbers of differentiating spermatogenic cysts. In addition, these rescued males have elongated spermatids and are completely fertile.
Expression of nclbScer\UAS.P\T.cCa under the control of Scer\GAL4αTub84B.PL rescues the germline and fertility defects found in nclb1/nclb2 mutants.
Expression of nclbScer\UAS.P\T.cCa under the control of Scer\GAL4αTub84B.PL rescues the lethality found in homozygous nclb2 mutants. Fertility is not rescued in these mutants.
Expression of nclbScer\UAS.P\T.cCa under the control of Scer\GAL4αTub84B.PL fails to rescue nclb1/nclb2 mutant stage 5 egg chamber arrest and fertility defects. More general expression using Scer\GAL4αTub84B.PL, also fails to completely rescue the stage 5 nurse endoreplication phenotype but does partially rescue fertility. Expression with Scer\GAL4da.G32, which expresses strongly in both the germline and the soma, is sufficient to rescue both the egg chamber arrest and fertility defects of nclb1/nclb2 mutants.
