Expression of AdukScer\UAS.cBa under the control of Scer\GAL4Scer\FRT.Rnor\CD2.Act5C in fat body clones results in an increase in the number of autophagic vesicles (as detected by Atg8a) in well-fed larvae but does not perturb the appearance of autophageosomes in starved larvae relative to the neighboring cells. Scer\GAL4GMR.PU-driven expression leads to reduced adult eye size.
AdukUAS.cBa, Scer\GAL4GMR.PU has visible | adult stage phenotype, non-enhanceable by Atg1GS10797, Scer\GAL4GMR.PU
AdukUAS.cBa, Scer\GAL4GMR.PU has eye phenotype, non-enhanceable by Atg1GS10797, Scer\GAL4GMR.PU
AdukUAS.cBa, Scer\GAL4FRT.Rnor\Cd2.Act5C has autophagosome | somatic clone | larval stage phenotype, suppressible by Atg13Δ81
AdukUAS.cBa, Scer\GAL4FRT.Rnor\Cd2.Act5C has embryonic/larval fat body | somatic clone | larval stage phenotype, suppressible by Atg13Δ81
AdukUAS.cBa, Scer\GAL4FRT.Rnor\Cd2.Act5C has autophagosome | somatic clone | larval stage phenotype, suppressible by Atg1K38Q.UAS, Scer\GAL4FRT.Rnor\Cd2.Act5C
AdukUAS.cBa, Scer\GAL4FRT.Rnor\Cd2.Act5C has embryonic/larval fat body | somatic clone | larval stage phenotype, suppressible by Atg1K38Q.UAS, Scer\GAL4FRT.Rnor\Cd2.Act5C
AdukUAS.cBa, Scer\GAL4FRT.Rnor\Cd2.Act5C has autophagosome | somatic clone | larval stage phenotype, non-suppressible by Atg1Δ3D
AdukUAS.cBa, Scer\GAL4FRT.Rnor\Cd2.Act5C has embryonic/larval fat body | somatic clone | larval stage phenotype, non-suppressible by Atg1Δ3D
Clonal expression of AdukScer\UAS.cBa under the control of Scer\GAL4Scer\FRT.Rnor\CD2.Act5C in the fat body of Atg1Δ3D mutants leads to robust formation of Atg8a-positive (or LysoTracker positive) autophagosome vesicles in both fed and starved conditions, whereas no autophagy induction is observed in Atg13Δ81 mutant clones or clones co-expressing Atg1K38Q.Scer\UAS.
The reduced eye size observed in adult flies expressing AdukScer\UAS.cBa under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PU is not further decreased by co-expression of Atg1GS10797 (although Atg1GS10797 expression on its own also leads to small eye phenotype).
