3.2kb genomic region encompassing halo (coordinates 2L:1517488..1520710 release 6 genome).
Increased halo dosage (halot3.2/halot3.2) in embryos results in an earlier inward shift and overall greater inward displacement of lipid droplets (comparing embryos with 0 - 4 copies of halo using combinations of halo3.2.T:Ivir\HA1 and Df(2L)ΔhaloAJ).
KhcUbi-p63E.T:Hsap\MYC overexpression attenuates net motion of lipid droplets in the plus-end direction, with the droplet population shifting inwards as halo dosage increases (phase II embryos).
halot3.2 partially rescues Df(2L)ΔhaloAJ
Two copies of halot3.2 restores net inward lipid droplet transport substantially but not completely in Df(2L)ΔhaloAJ/Df(2L)ΔhaloAJ embryos (phase IIa, cycle 13 to mid-cellularization).
