UASp regulatory sequences drive expression of an activated form of Pvr in which the Pvr extracellular ligand-binding domain has been replaced by the dimerization domain of the bacteriophage λ cI repressor (to induce constitutive dimerization of the encoded protein). A Tag:MYC epitope has been inserted into the BglII site at amino acid residue 785, N-terminal of the transmembrane domain.

follicle cell & actin filament | somatic clone, with Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI
Third instar larvae expressing Pvrλ.UASp.Tag:MYC under the control of Scer\GAL4dpp.blk1 show bigger wing discs.
Scer\GAL4He.PZ-mediated expression of Pvrλ.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC increases hemocyte counts in larvae.
Scer\GAL4Bx-MS1096-mediated expression of Pvrλ.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC induces hypertrophic tumor-like structures.
Expression of Pvrλ.UASp.Tag:MYC in larvae under the control of Scer\GAL4repo results in overmigration of glial cells along the Bolwig nerve compared to controls.
Migration of border cells is severely impaired in Pvrλ.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC; Scer\GAL4slbo.2.6 animals.
Hemocytes in Pvrλ.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC; Scer\GAL4srp.Hemo late embryos do not exhibit abnormal aggregation.
Hemocytes in Pvrλ.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC; Scer\GAL4srp.Hemo late stage embryos aggregate abnormally, but a low percentage have a mild deficiency of hemocytes in the ventral-posterior region and in the posterior end of the elongated germ band. These animals are viable.
The polarity of the epithelia in Pvrλ.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC; Scer\GAL469B embryos is normal. The cuticles made by these embryos are normal apart from holes at the termini. The organization of filamentous actin in the eye discs of Pvrλ.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC; Scer\GAL4GMR.PF larvae is normal.
When Pvrλ.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC is driven by Scer\GAL4slbo.2.6 in the follicle cells, an increase is seen in the accumulation of F-actin. These cells also show a disruption of the normal cell shape.
When expression is driven by Scer\GAL4He.PZ, hemocyte proliferation and lamellocyte numbers are increased, and crystal cells are unaffected. Melanotic masses form.
When clones of Pvrλ.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC expressing cells (driven by Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI) are made in the follicle cells, massive F-actin accumulation, actin rich extensions and changes in cell shape are seen. When Pvrλ.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC is driven by Scer\GAL4slbo.2.6, causes disruption in centripetal cell morphology and abnormal actin accumulation.

When Pvrλ.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC is driven by Scer\GAL4slbo.2.6 in a homozygous Cortactinunspecified background, a small but significant suppression is seen in the F-Actin phenotype.
When mbcD11.2 mutant somatic clones are made in border cells in addition to Pvrλ.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC, driven by Scer\GAL4slbo.2.6, a strong attenuation of the Pvrλ.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC phenotype is seen.
Pvrλ.UASp.Tag:MYC/Scer\GAL4srp.Hemo partially rescues Pvr1
Pvrλ.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC; Scer\GAL4srp.Hemo rescues the macrophage aggregation phenotype of stage 16 Pvr1 homozygous embryos. However, these embryos retain a mild deficiency of hemocytes in the ventral-posterior region and in the posterior end of the elongated germ band.
