Description

UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of a cleaved form of spi (a stop codon has been introduced after P128, prior to the transmembrane domain), which is tagged after residue T54 with EGFP.

Detailed Description

Expression of spis.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP under the control of either Scer\GAL4GMR30H02 or Scer\GAL4elav-C155 results in significantly increased concentration of circulating hemocytes in third instar larvae, as compared to controls.

Expression of spis.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP via Scer\GAL4mir-8-NP5247 at the early L3 stage (by inclusion of Scer\GAL80ts.αTub84B and maintenance at the permissive temperature until that point) results in a dramatic expansion of the neuroepithelium of L3 larvae, coupled with ectopic and precocious neuroblasts.

Expression of spis.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.Switch.PO for 24 hours during larval stages (using mifepristone to control the timing of expression) results in significantly reduced olfactory learning ability in larvae. These larvae show normal gustatory preference responses to fructose and to quinine and show normal olfactory responses to amyl acetate and to 1-octanol.

Expression of spis.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP under the control of Scer\GAL4neur-GAL4-A101 in sensory organs of the leg results in induction of bract cell fate in all surrounding cells, although in some cases, at a greater distance on the proximal side of the leg.

Statement
Reference

The larval neuroepithelium defects caused by Scer\GAL4repo-mediated expression of mir-8Scer\UAS.cVa are fully reverted by co-expression of spis.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP (which lacks the native spi 3' UTR).

Expression of spis.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP in the sensory organ precursor lineage (using Scer\GAL4neur-GAL4-A101) in large homozygous dia5 clones in the leg restores bract formation in the clones.

Somatic clones of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PP cells in the eye disc in animals carrying rhoScer\UAS.cGa and spiScer\UAS.s.T:Avic\GFP cause ectopic photoreceptor differentiation. This phenotype is completely suppressed by raspT392/raspT802.
