Description

Imprecise excision of the progenitor insertion, with approximately 2kb of the original element remaining. In addition, there is a perfect deletion of intron 3, exon 4 and intron 4 of the Lsd-1-RA transcript (which encodes the longest protein isoform). This deletion is 1kb away from the insertion site.

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Lsd-138 adults show large lipid droplets in the fat body. Lsd-138 adults are resistant to infection with S. typhimurium (decreased mortality and decreased bacterial load).

Lsd-138 mutants present significantly bigger lipid droplets in the larval fat body, and isolated lipid droplet coalesce more frequently, as compared to controls.

Mutant larvae have larger lipid droplets in the fat body than wild-type larvae, under both fed and starvation conditions.

Total glyceride levels in mutant wandering stage third-instar larvae are normal under fed conditions. Under starvation conditions, the total glyceride level barely decreases in mutant larvae compared to fed conditions and is significantly higher than that in wild-type starved larvae. The level of circulating lipid in the hemolymph is reduced in mutant larvae compared to controls under fed conditions.

Homozygous larvae show reduced survival compared to controls under starvation conditions.

The large lipid droplet phenotype seen in Lsd-138 larvae is slightly enhanced by Hslb24.

The large lipid droplet phenotype seen in Lsd-138 larvae is enhanced by bmm1.

Expression of either Lsd-2Scer\UAS.cGa or Lsd-2Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-EYFP under the control of Scer\GAL4ppl.PP enhances the large lipid droplet phenotype seen in Lsd-138 larvae.

The reduction in size of the lipid droplets and the reduction in total glyceride level is even more severe in Lsd-138 Lsd-2KG00149 double mutant larvae than in Lsd-2KG00149 single mutants.

Expression of Lsd-1::Lsd-22.1C.Scer\UAS.T:Disc\RFP-mCherry under the control of Scer\GAL4ppl.PP rescues the large lipid droplet phenotype seen in Lsd-138 larvae.

Comments

The reduced survival of Lsd-138 larvae compared to controls under starvation conditions is rescued by expression of Lsd-1Scer\UAS.T:Disc\RFP-mCherry under the control of Scer\GAL4ppl.PP.

Expression of Lsd-1Scer\UAS.T:Disc\RFP-mCherry under the control of Scer\GAL4ppl.PP cell-autonomously rescues the large lipid droplet phenotype of Lsd-138 larvae.

Expression of Lsd-1ΔC.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-EYFP under the control of Scer\GAL4ppl.PP does not rescue the large lipid droplet phenotype seen in Lsd-138 larvae.
