TG?GC
C98A
Mutation carried on a transgenic construct. C98 (TGC) converted to A98 (GCC).
Expression of Atg4C98A.Scer\UAS using Scer\GAL4Act5C.PP results in basal autophagy defects in larval fat body cell somatic clones.
Expression of Atg4C98A.Scer\UAS using Scer\GAL4Act5C.PP inhibits starvation-induced autophagic response in larval fat body cell somatic clones. Ultrastructural analysis reveals the lack of autolysosomes in fat body cells, although small autophagosome-like structures are occasionally observed.
Atg4aC98A.UAS, Scer\GAL4Act5C.PP has abnormal starvation stress response | somatic clone | late third instar larval stage phenotype, suppressible by Atg8ar4.mCherry, Scer\GAL4Act5C.PP
Atg4aC98A.UAS, Scer\GAL4Act5C.PP has embryonic/larval fat body | somatic clone | third instar larval stage phenotype, suppressible by Atg8ar4.mCherry, Scer\GAL4Act5C.PP
Co-expression of Atg8ar4.T:Disc\RFP-mCherry with Atg4C98A.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PP restores both basal and starvation-induced autophagy.
