Detailed Description

Reference

gbbD4 homozygotes do not exhibit any obvious embryonic midgut constriction defects, as compared to controls.

7-day old gbbD4/+ germaria have normal numbers of germline stem cells (GSCs), but at 63-days old, these germaria have significantly lower GSC numbers compared to controls - most have only one or no GSCs. 35-day old and 63-day old heterozygous germaria also contain significantly fewer cysts than controls, although cap cells are maintained at normal numbers.

In gbb4/gbbD4 males raised to adulthood at 18oC and then shifted to 22oC for 7 days, testes contain pn average 1.3 germline stem cells compared to an average of 9.1 in wild-type. Germline stem cells are eliminated completely after a week at 25oC.

In gbb4/gbbD4 females raised to adulthood at 18oC and then shifted to 29oC for 7 days, 88% of germaria lack germ cells. Remaining germaria mostly contain only one germ cell.

gbbD4/gbbD8 larvae have a greatly reduced fat body and appear transparent. The gastric caecae are reduced in length in approximately 50% of larvae. The larvae grow more slowly than wild-type and are somewhat reduced in size. gbbD4/gbbD8 embryos fail to form the first midgut constriction, but the second and third constrictions form.

bamhs.PO animals cultured at 18oC and heat shocked as late stage pupae (37oC, 4 times for 2 hours each with an 8-12 hour interval) produce adult females with agametic germaria. If these animals also carry the temperature sensitive allelic combination gbb4/gbbD4 and are shifted to 29oC (the non-permissive temperature) for 10 days, the majority of germaria disintegrate. Among remaining germaria, less than half contain follicle cells but all contain terminal filament cells.

gbbD4 dominantly enhances the tkv6 phenotype; tkv6 homozygotes have a normal notum and legs, but the presence of one copy of gbbD4 results in defects in the notum and legs. The most distal tarsal segments and claws are truncated and the ventral lateral sex combs are duplicated. Double heterozygotes with Df(2L)tkv2, dpps5, shn1 or put135 may show imaginal disc development defects. No interaction with sax5, MadP1 or Med4 is seen in double heterozygous flies. tkv6 gbbD4/tkv6 gbbD8 embryos form only one midgut constriction. gbbD4/tkv6 gbbD8 embryos have head defects and an excessive ventral curvature. gbbD4/tkv6 gbbD8 embryos derived from homozygous tkv6 females have a dorsal open phenotype.
