Imprecise excision of the progenitor insertion resulting in a deletion extending 3349 bp downstream of the insertion site. The entire Pi3K59F coding region is removed.
Pi3K59FΔm22 somatic clones in the follicular epithelium exhibit dysplasia-like defects, namely a high frequency of epithelium multilayering and mild cell polarity defects (i.e. abnormal expression of the adherent junction components Arm and E-cad, and occasional overlap between the apical marker aPKC and the basolateral marker Dlg), with cells occasionally invading between germline cells, as compared to controls.
Homozygous adult mushroom body gamma neuron clones show an axon pruning defect.
Expression of Pi3K59FΔm22 using Scer\GAL4Act5C.PP results in basal autophagy defects in larval fat body cell somatic clones.
Pi3K59FΔm22 mutants display basal autophagy defects in larval fat body cells.
Females carrying homozygous germline clones have a significant increase in the number of stage 14 egg chambers that have persisting TUNEL-negative nurse cell nuclei compared to wild-type egg chambers at the same stage, in which nurse cell nuclei are rarely detected (and those that are detected are all TUNEL positive). The persisting nurse cell nuclei show condensed nuclear staining.
Starvation-induced expansion of the lysosomal system is blocked in Pi3K59FΔm22 mutant fat-body cells. Autophagosome and autolysosome formation is disrupted in these animals. Fat-body cell size is normal.
Pi3K59FΔm22 mutant fat-body and garland cells show disruptions in endocytosis.
In the eye imaginal disc, Pi3K59FΔm22 mutant cells proliferate at a rate similar to that of twin spot control cells. No accumulation of autophagosomes is observed in mutant eye disc cells.

The frequent follicular epithelium multi-layering and the mis-localization of cell polarity markers presented by Pi3K59FΔm22 homozygous follicle cell clones is strongly suppressed by the clonal expression of Lkb1HMS01351 under the control of Scer\GAL4tub.PU.
Both the frequent follicular epithelium multi-layering and the occasional invasion of germline cells by follicle cells exhibited by Pi3K59FΔm22 homozygous follicle cell clones is strongly suppressed by the clonal expression of bskDN.Scer\UAS.cUa under the control of Scer\GAL4tub.PU.
The lack of F-actin rich radial protrusions seen in primary hemocytes derived from mtmΔ77/mtmz2-4747 larvae is not rescued if the larvae also carry Pi3K59FΔm22/Pi3K59FΔm22.
Expression of Tsc1Scer\UAS.cTa and gigScer\UAS.cTa under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PP results in a significant reduction in fat-body cell size in a Pi3K59FΔm22 background, and the formation of autolysosomes is disrupted.
Pi3K59FΔm22 and Vps25A3 double mutant fat-body cells show disruptions in endocytosis.
