axon | adult stage, with Scer\GAL4repo
Flies expressing drprdsRNA.Scer\UAS in all glia under the control of Scer\GAL4repo are unable to clear axonal debris from L1 wing vein neurons following axotomy. Expression in wrapping glia under the control of Scer\GAL4nrv2.PS also results in strong suppression of clearance of axonal debris, whereas expression in subperineurial glia (under the control of Scer\GAL4Gli-rL82) has a much more modest effect.
Expression of drprdsRNA.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4alrm.PD results in a strong suppression of mushroom body γ neuron pruning at 18 hours after pupal formation and a mild phenotype in adults.
drpr appears to function in non-astrocyte glia (e.g. ensheathing or cortex glia), since knockdown of drpr, through expression of drprdsRNA.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4alrm.PD, has no effect on cell body clearance.
Follicle cell specific expression of drprdsRNA.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4GR1 prevents the follicle cell enlargement and uptake of nurse cell debris normally seen in starvation-induced degenerating egg chambers.
Expression of drprScer\UAS.dsRNA in the hemocytes under the control of Scer\GAL4Hml.PG does not result in defects in salivary gland clearance.
Expression of drprScer\UAS.dsRNA in the salivary glands under the control of Scer\GAL4fkh.PH results in persistence of salivary gland fragments in 89% of pupae. Salivary glands contain more lysosomes than control salivary glands.
Expression of drprdsRNA.Scer\UAS under the control of either Scer\GAL4repo.PU or Scer\GAL4Mz709 completely suppresses the recruitment of ensheathing glia membranes to severed olfactory receptor neuron axons after severing of the maxillary palp.
Expression of drprdsRNA.Scer\UAS under the control of either Scer\GAL4repo.PU or Scer\GAL4Mz709 completely blocks glial clearance of axonal debris from the central nervous system after severing of the maxillary palp (axonal debris is efficiently cleared within 5 days after injury in wild-type controls). Expression of drprdsRNA.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4alrm.PD has no effect on axon debris clearance after severing of the maxillary palp.
Glial-specific knock-down of drpr through expression of drprScer\UAS.dsRNA under the control of Scer\GAL4repo.PU fully suppresses glial responses to antennal or maxillary palp ablation.
Scer\GAL4alrm.PD, drprRNAi.UAS has abnormal neuroanatomy phenotype, non-enhanceable by Ced-12KK102788, Scer\GAL4alrm.PD
drprRNAi.UAS, Scer\GAL4alrm.PD is a non-enhancer of abnormal neuroanatomy phenotype of Ced-12KK102788, Scer\GAL4alrm.PD
Scer\GAL4alrm.PD, drprRNAi.UAS has astrocyte-like glial cell phenotype, non-enhanceable by Ced-12KK102788, Scer\GAL4alrm.PD
Scer\GAL4alrm.PD, drprRNAi.UAS has gamma Kenyon cell phenotype, non-enhanceable by Ced-12KK102788, Scer\GAL4alrm.PD
drprRNAi.UAS, Scer\GAL4alrm.PD is a non-enhancer of astrocyte-like glial cell phenotype of Ced-12KK102788, Scer\GAL4alrm.PD
drprRNAi.UAS, Scer\GAL4alrm.PD is a non-enhancer of gamma Kenyon cell phenotype of Ced-12KK102788, Scer\GAL4alrm.PD
Co-expression of drprdsRNA.Scer\UAS and Ced-12KK102788 under the control of Scer\GAL4alrm.PD does not increase the number of cell bodies or the amount of neurite debris when compared with elimination of each pathway alone.
