p535A-1-4 adults expressing p53UASp.B under the control of Scer\GAL4VP16.nos.UTR do not exhibit any changes in the number of female germline stem cells under normal conditions compared to controls.
Expression of p53UASp.B under the control of Scer\GAL4VP16.nos.UTR rescues the cell death in germarium after 3 Gy irradiation phenotype and the daily egg production 3 days after 40 Gy irradiation phenotype; it partially rescues the number of germline stem cells after 40 Gy irradiation phenotype; and it fails to rescue the fertility (number of pupa produced per day) after 40 Gy irradiation phenotype of p535A-1-4 females.
