Description

1033bp of the GstE14 gene region has been deleted and replaced with a loxP-flanked hsp70-w cassette. This results in a 680bp deletion in the 696bp GstE14 coding sequence.

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Homozygous GstE14KO mutants exhibit embryonic lethality, and the embryos do not produce a differentiated cuticle structure. They also display abnormal morphogenetic movements that involve the failure of head involution, defects in dorsal closure and abnormal gut looping. Treatment with 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) midway through embryogenesis overcomes the embryonic lethality, allowing embryos to hatch into first instar larvae. Lethality is almost completely rescued when the mother's food is supplemented with either cholesterol or 7-dehydrocholesterol (7dC).

Homozygous GstE14KO mutant larvae (obtained by maternal administration of cholesterol) exhibit a developmental arrest phenotype at the first or second instar larval stage, and none of them reach the third instar larval stage. This developmental arrest is overcome when the diet is supplemented with 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E), but not with cholesterol of 7-dehydrocholesterol (7dC).

Expression of Bmor\GSTe7Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4phm.PO suppresses the embryonic lethality associated with homozygous GstE14KO. The flies are able to complete their development and grow to the adult stages.
