UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of a 500bp inverted repeat.
Somatic clones in the larval fat body expressing spideyNIG.1444R under the control of Scer\GAL4Scer\FRT.Rnor\CD2.Act5C do not display a detectable change in lipid droplets or cell size during starvation, as compared to controls.
An increased proportion of larvae expressing spideyNIG.1444R under the control of Scer\GAL4Desat1.PB display tracheal flooding, a significant increase in larval oenocyte size in both fed conditions at 48 hours after hatching, and starved conditions 66 hours after hatching, but there is no difference in oenocyte size during fed conditions 66 hours after hatching, as compared to controls. Oenocyte enlargement during starvation is also associated with enlarged nuclei(Fig. 5A), and during starvation, oenocyte nuclei undergo higher levels of endoreplication, as compared to controls (5B).
Expression of spideyNIG.1444R under the control of Scer\GAL4Desat1.PB, or under the control of Scer\GAL4Cyp4g1-NP6073 and Scer\GAL80elav.PU to restrict expression to oenocytes, results in an increase in the accumulation of lipid droplets in larval oenocytes during fed conditions, but a decrease in the accumulation of lipid droplets in larval oenocytes during starvation, as compared to controls.
Scer\GAL4Desat1.PB, spideyNIG.1444R has abnormal starvation stress response | larval stage phenotype, non-enhanceable by Pi3K92EA2860C.UAS, Scer\GAL4Desat1.PB
Scer\GAL4Desat1.PB, spideyNIG.1444R has increased cell size | larval stage phenotype, suppressible | partially by Pi3K92EA2860C.UAS, Scer\GAL4Desat1.PB
Scer\GAL4Desat1.PB, spideyNIG.1444R has abnormal starvation stress response | larval stage phenotype, non-suppressible by Pi3K92EA2860C.UAS, Scer\GAL4Desat1.PB
Scer\GAL4Desat1.PB, spideyNIG.1444R has embryonic/larval oenocyte | larval stage phenotype, non-enhanceable by Pi3K92EA2860C.UAS, Scer\GAL4Desat1.PB
Scer\GAL4Desat1.PB, spideyNIG.1444R has embryonic/larval oenocyte | larval stage phenotype, suppressible | partially by Pi3K92EA2860C.UAS, Scer\GAL4Desat1.PB
Co-expression of Pi3K92EA2860C.Scer\UAS does not enhance or suppress the increase in lipid droplets in larval oenocytes seen in starved larvae, but it partially suppresses the increased oenocyte size in both fed and starved larvae expressing spideyNIG.1444R under the control of Scer\GAL4Desat1.PB.
