P{GSV3}CdsAGS8005 is inserted into the second exon of CdsA and disrupts transcription.
CdsAGS8005 animals die at late embryonic to early larval stages.
CdsAGS8005 mutant salivary gland clones are smaller in size and accumulate large amounts of fat compared to neighbouring control cells, demonstrating CdsA acts cell-autonomously. On average, the size of CdsAGS8005 mutant salivary gland cells is only about 20% of wild-type cells.
In contrast to the small size and massive neutral lipid storage of CdsAGS8005 mutant salivary gland cells, CdsAGS8005 mutant fat body cells are normal in size and fat storage.
