salivary gland & nucleus (with E2f2p111-5)

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

E2f276Q1/E2f2329 Mpp6+t4 animals have a pattern of irradiation induced apoptosis in the late third instar wing disc which is identical to that seen in wild-type animals. (Mpp6+t4 is present to rescued loss of Mpp6 in Df(2L)E2f2329.

20% to 35% of homozygotes survive to adulthood. These flies have reduced fertility. Only 50% of eggs laid by homozygous mothers hatch, and about 5% of eggs laid by homozygous females have fragile, thin chorions.

E2f276Q1/E2f2c03344, E2f191/E2f1rM729 third instar larvae exhibit binucleated cells in the fat body.

The addition of E2f276Q1/E2f2p111-5 to homozygous E2fsu89 leads to lethality in the majority of mutants - 75% of the mutants die during the larvae stage, 24% during the pupal stage, with only 1% surviving to adulthood. Larval development is asynchronous: while most larvae are smaller, some healthy larvae can reach sizes similar to wild-type, and their development is only delayed about a day. The surviving adults do not show gross defects in their adult structures, though 88% display extremely short macrochaetae on the notum. These macrochaetae form the proper structure but fail to grow to its normal size. This seems to be a result of a defect in endoreplication in those cells. Mutants also exhibit defects in maintaining cell cycle arrest in the scutella. Third instar larval salivary glands are also smaller in these animals. The number of cells is wild-type, but the DNA content of those cells is about 40% of wild-type, probably due to fewer rounds of endocycles. The length of each endocycle is correspondingly longer due to an increased length of the gap phase. The addition of CycEAR95 to E2f276Q1/E2f2p111-5, E2fsu89, partially suppresses the salivary gland endoreplication defect. Salivary gland nuclei in these animals have about 70% of the DNA content of wild-type. The lethality is also partially suppressed - 52% of animals survive to the pupal stage (compared to 25%). Finally the macrochaetae phenotype is strongly suppressed. - 99% of flies show normal macrochaetae (as opposed to 12%).

The addition of E2f276Q1/Df(2L)G5.1 to E2f91/E2frM729 flies almost completely suppresses the E2f91/E2frM729 phenotypes - mutants develop normally without any significant delay in larval growth, reach pupal stage and finally die as mid- or late pupae. The pattern of DNA synthesis in eye discs is largely normal. The pattern of DNA synthesis in eye discs is largely normal.

This allele was made by a duplication event caused by the excision of P{lacW}Mpp6k16403 that replaces the 5' UTR sequences removed in Df(2L)Q3.1.
