The T1 and T2 segments of stage 16 embryos expressing KrUAS.Tag:V5 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 show significant increases in the numbers of dividing neuroblasts and dividing neuroblast daughter cells, as compared to controls; expression under the control of Scer\GAL4lbe.K also leads to a significant increase in the number of dividing neuroblast daughter cells, but not of dividing neuroblasts, as compared to controls.
At stage 11 combinatorial expression of UAS-Quad (aseUAS.Tag:MYC, worUAS.Tag:FLAG, SoxNUAS.Tag:V5 and KrUAS.Tag:V5) or UAS-Quad[d] (aseVP16.UAS.Tag:MYC, worEnR.UAS.Tag:FLAG, SoxNEnR.UAS.Tag:V5 and KrUAS.Tag:V5) under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32 leads to extensive ectopic neuroblasts not only in the underlying cell layers, but also in the upper neuroectodermal layer when compared to control embryos.
The triple co-expression of hbUAS.Tag:MYC, KrUAS.Tag:V5 and nubUAS.ORF.GW.Tag:HA under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32 triggers additional neuroblast and extensive over-proliferation in stage 12 embryos, as compared to controls.
The quadruple co-expression of aseUAS.Tag:MYC, worUAS.Tag:FLAG, SoxNUAS.Tag:V5 and KrUAS.Tag:V5 or the quadruple co-expression of aseVP16.UAS.Tag:MYC, worEnR.UAS.Tag:FLAG and SoxNEnR.UAS.Tag:V5 and KrUAS.Tag:V5, under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32, trigger additional neuroblast and extensive over-proliferation in stage 12 embryos, as compared to controls. Either quadruple expression under the control of Scer\GAL4lbe.K leads to the expansion of the NB5-6 neuronal lineage in late embryos, as compared to controls.
The sextuple co-expression of aseUAS.Tag:MYC, worUAS.Tag:FLAG, SoxNUAS.Tag:V5, KrUAS.Tag:V5, hbUAS.Tag:MYC and nubUAS.ORF.GW.Tag:HA, under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32 triggers the striking generation of ectopic neuroblasts throughout the ectoderm of stage 12 embryos, with extensive ectopic proliferation, as compared to controls.
