microvillus & follicle cell, with Scer\GAL4FRT.Rnor\Cd2.Act5C
Overexpression of Cad99CΔcyt.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP in the salivary gland under the control of Scer\GAL4fkh.PH results in apical salivary gland membrane expansion. These mutants exhibit an increase in microvilli-like structures and causes apical membranes to protrude into the lateral domain.
Expression of Cad99C&cyt.Scer\UAS.T.Avic\GFP-EGFP in follicle cells under the control of Scer\GAL4Scer\FRT.Rnor\CD2.Act5C induces abnormally tall microvilli that fan out from the apical surface, along with enlarged vitelline bodies. This phenotype is seen in both wild-type and Cad99C21-5/Cad99C21-6 backgrounds.
