A ubiquitin promoter drives expression of α-Cat cDNA.
α-Cat1 mutant clones in the ovary (generated through recombination of the α-CatUbi.PS rescue construct) display a variety of oogenesis defects. These include a compromised follicular epithelium leading to fused follicles and failure of border cell migration. The majority of α-Cat1 mutant cells have lost contact with wild type follicle cells. These cells rarely form multilayered clusters, but are usually flattened and tightly attached to the basement membrane. α-Cat1 mutant follicle cells appear to maintain apical-basal polarity, however neighbouring cells appear to lose polarity as their microvillus tufts point in different directions.
α-Cat1 mutant clones (generated through recombination of the α-CatUbi.PS rescue construct) do not develop in third instar larval imaginal discs.
