UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of vnGD2321 RNAi under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PU (using tub-Gal80[ts] to limit the RNAi expression to the adult stage) results in germline stem cell differentiation defects in adult testes.
Expression of vnGD2321 under the control of Scer\GAL4repo.PL or Scer\GAL4nrv2.PS result in significantly decreased axon wrapping index (proportion of axon clusters wrapped by wrapping glia), whereas expression under Scer\GAL4elav.PU does not affect the axon wrapping by the wrapping glia in third instar larvae.
In wild-type larvae, subperineurial glial cells (SPGs) form autocellular contacts with pronounced septate junction, the length of these autocellular contacts is significantly reduced upon Scer\GAL4repo.PL or Scer\GAL4nrv2.PS-driven knock-down of vn, while expression of vnGD2321 controlled by Scer\GAL4moody.SPG (in SPGs) has no effect.
Flies expressing vnGD2321 under the control of Scer\GAL4sd.PU exhibit wing vein phenotypes. There is loss of L4, L2 and the anterior crossvein. Less severe vein loss is seen when vnGD2321 is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL469B.
Expression of vnGD2321 in visceral muscle cells under the control of Scer\GAL80ts.αTub84B and Scer\GAL4how-24B does not affect midgut development and renewal, even after Pseudomonas entomophila infection.
Adults expressing vnGD2321 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu (in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa to increase the efficiency of RNAi) do not show a significant defect in avoidance of noxious temperature (46[o]C) compared to control flies.
Expression of vnGD2321 in visceral muscle cells under the control of Scer\GAL4how-24B and Scer\GAL80ts.αTub84B throughout larval development results in late larval midguts with very few adult midgut progenitor cell clusters. Induction of vnGD2321 under the control of Scer\GAL4how-24B and Scer\GAL80ts.αTub84B starting at early third instar has no effect on adult midgut progenitor cells.
Expression of vnGD2321 under the control of Scer\GAL4esg-NP7397 and Scer\GAL80ts.αTub84B has no effect on adult midgut progenitor cell proliferation.
Expression of vnGD2321 under the control of Scer\GAL4Myo31DF-NP0001 and Scer\GAL80ts.αTub84B has no effect on adult midgut progenitor cell proliferation.
Scer\GAL4sd.PU, vnGD2321 has visible phenotype, non-enhanceable by spiHMS01120/Scer\GAL4sd.PU
Scer\GAL4sd.PU, vnGD2321 has visible phenotype, non-enhanceable by Scer\GAL4sd.PU/spiJF03322
Scer\GAL4sd.PU, vnGD2321 has wing vein phenotype, non-enhanceable by spiHMS01120/Scer\GAL4sd.PU
Scer\GAL4sd.PU, vnGD2321 has wing vein phenotype, non-enhanceable by Scer\GAL4sd.PU/spiJF03322
Expression of spiHMS01120 does not enhance the wing vein phenotypes seen when vnGD2321 is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4sd.PU.
Expression of spiJF03322 does not enhance the wing vein phenotypes seen when vnGD2321 is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4sd.PU.
Knockdown of vn through expression of vnGD2321 in Df(3L)Krn-27-7-B mutant visceral muscle cells (under the control of Scer\GAL4how-24B and Scer\GAL80ts.αTub84B) significantly reduces intestinal stem cell proliferation.
