The rate of proliferation in trypsin-dissociated posterior wing disc cells expressing E2fDBD.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP under the control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E is similar to controls. A comparable proportion of cells have a G1 DNA content compared to controls.
A smaller proportion of trypsin-dissociated posterior compartment cells from third instar larval wing discs expressing E2fDBD.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP under the control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E are in S phase compared to controls.
Expression of E2fDBD.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP under the control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E does not induce apoptosis in the posterior compartment of intact third instar larval wing discs. The same is seen when the wing disc cells are trypsin-dissociated and quantified with flow cytometry.
As in wild type, very few of the cells posterior to the morphogenetic furrow in eye discs expressing E2fDBD.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PU display DNA damage and similar levels of apoptosis are seen compared with controls.
BacA\p35UAS.cHa, E2f1DBD.UASp.EGFP, Scer\GAL4en-e16E has viable phenotype
Wing discs co-expressing E2fDBD.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP and BacA\p35Scer\UAS.cHa under the control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E appear largely normal.
