Scer\GAL4mat.αTub67C.T:Hsim\VP16-mediated expression of SAKScer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic\GFP drives the de novo formation of centriole-like structures in unfertilised eggs.
Expression of SAKScer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic\GFP under the control of Scer\GAL4mat.αTub67C.T:Hsim\VP16 results in de novo formation of a large number of centriole-like structures in almost all unfertilised eggs (which do not normally contain centrioles).
Expression of SAKScer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic\GFP under the control of Scer\GAL4mat.αTub67C.T:Hsim\VP16 results in extra centriole-like structures in the nurse cells at stages 6/7, although by stage 14 these extra structures are no longer detected, suggesting that centrioles are lost normally during oogenesis (as occurs in wild type) in these mutant animals.
