NcI24 mutants exhibit an increase in autophagy.

NcI24/NcI29 mutant males exhibit ~40% less spermatogonial cyst death compared to controls.

NcI24/NcL32 mutant males exhibit ~40% less spermatogonial cyst death compared to controls.

NcI24 mutant eye clones are significantly larger than their wild-type twin spots.

NcI24 mutant eye clones induce ectopic cell proliferation posterior to the second mitotic wave in the eye-antennal disc.

NcI24 mutant eye clones exhibit extra ommatidial pigment cells in the pupal retina.

NcI24 homozygotes and NcI24/Nc51 transheterozygotes exhibit a delay in vCrz neuron apoptosis. At 7 hours after puparium formation 75% vCrz neurons are still present although these all die by 48 hours after puparium formation.

NcI24 mutant dendrites exhibit an intact morphlogy before puparium formation. Unlike in wild-type, at 7.5 hours after puparium formation NcI24 mutant dendrites continue to possess an overall regular morphology and are mostly attached to the parental neurons. These branches persist even at 18 hours after puparium formation, albeit with less homogenous morphology.

Homozygous adult survivors have approximately 6-8 extra branches on the posterior of the arista compared to wild type. Approximately 10% of stage 14 egg chambers contain persisting nurse cell nuclei.

Salivary glands are degraded by 24 hours after puparium formation (as occurs in wild-type controls) in NcI24/NcI29 mutants that develop normally.

100% of NcI29/NcI24 male escapers have a rotated genitalia defect. 100% of NcI29/NcI24 adult escapers have a ballooned wing phenotype.

NcI24 mutants display severe defects during the spermatid individualization process. The cystic bulges are frequently reduced in size or appear flat due to a failure in the appropriate collection of the cytoplasm of the spermatids . The retained cytoplasm is clearly visualized as a trail along the entire length of what was supposed to have been the post-individualized portion of the spermatids. Frequently a large portion of the spermatid cytoplasm is retained in a 'mini' cystic bulge structure, which often contains part of the individualization complex. Waste bags are also reduced in size.

Programmed cell death in Crz-expressing neurons in the ventral nerve cord is significantly delayed in Nc51/NcI24 mutants. Approximately 12 neurons still survive at 7 hours after pupal formation, while the number is reduced to approximately 8 at 16 hours after pupal formation, and none at 48 hours after pupal formation.

Homozygous escapers have wings that are less transparent than normal and are curved. Homozygous embryos derived from females carrying homozygous germline clones have a head defect. These embryos show a substantial reduction in the number of apoptotic cells compared to wild type. Homozygous clones in the pupal eye disc have on average three additional interommatidial cells.

One copy of DroncI24 slightly suppresses the eye roughness seen when SRm160GE25979 is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PU.

No viable vCrz neurons are detected at 7 hours after puparium formation in DreddL23; NcI24/Nc51 double mutants.

Nearly all vCrz neurons are present at 7 hours after puparium formation in dream4; NcI24 double mutants. Such an abnormal programmed cell death phenotype is significantly more severe than in either single mutant. No surviving vCrz neurons are found at 7 hours after puparium formation in dream4; NcI24/+ mutants, suggesting that heterozygosity of Nc is sufficient to compensate for the lack of dream function.

Triple mutants of DreddB118; dream4; NcI24 display results comparable to dream4; NcI24 double mutants, i.e. all vCrz neurons are still present having not undergone apoptosis by 7 hours after puparium formation.

Dcp-1Prev1 ; NcI24/NcI29 IceΔ1 triple mutant larvae undergo cell death with morphology similar to the midgut of wild-type animals when analysed from -4 to -1 hours relative to puparium formation.

dream4 ; NcI24/NcI29 IceΔ1 triple mutant larvae show high levels of TUNEL staining at -4 to -1 hours relative to puparium formation, suggesting that they are undergoing cell death.

Females containing dream4 ; NcI24 double homozygous germline clones are fertile, but their ovaries contain 31% of mid-stage egg chambers with missing follicle cells and large surviving nurse cells. There is also an increase in mid-stage egg chambers containing condensed nurse cell nuclei but lacking follicle cells. 16% of stage 14 egg chambers contain persisting nurse cell nuclei.

The persistence of salivary gland tissue that is seen at 24 hours hours after puparium formation when Pi3K92EScer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4fkh.PH is significantly enhanced if the animals are also carrying NcI24/NcI29.
