Expression of PvrCA.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4crq.PO does not disrupt embryonic hemocyte migration.
Expression of PvrCA.Scer\UAS specifically for 10 days 3-5 days after eclosion, under the control of Scer\GAL4esg-NP5130 and Scer\GAL80ts.αTub84B results in a striking expansion of esg>GFP positive cell clusters with a distinctive cellular morphology indicating cell proliferation.
Approximately half of Scer\GAL4esg-NP5130 --> PvrCA.Scer\UAS flies succumb to infection with P. entomophila within 64 hours of infection, as in wild-type.
PvrCA.UAS, Scer\GAL4NP5130 has adult midgut phenotype, suppressible by Ras85DN17.UAS, Scer\GAL4NP5130
PvrCA.UAS, Scer\GAL4NP5130 has adult midgut phenotype, non-suppressible by bskK53R.UAS, Scer\GAL4NP5130
Expression of PvrCA.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4crq.PO partially rescues the embryonic lethality of Df(2L)Pvf2-3/Df(2L)Pvf2-3 mutants and fully restore the defects in posterior migration of ventrally located hemocytes but does not restore the disrupted passage of hemocytes across the ventral nerve cord or their failure to invade the extended germband of Df(2L)Pvf2-3 mutant embryos.
Co-expression of PvrCA.Scer\UAS and bskK53R.Scer\UAS in 3-5 day old adult flies, under the control of Scer\GAL4esg-NP5130 and Scer\GAL80ts.αTub84B phenocopies the proliferation of Scer\GAL4esg-NP5130>GFP-positive cells observed upon expression of PvrCA.Scer\UAS alone.
Co-expression of Ras85DN17.Scer\UAS and PvrCA.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4esg-NP5130 and Scer\GAL80ts.αTub84B significantly abrogates the PvrCA.Scer\UAS dysplastic phenotype, indicating that Ras85D is a downstream signaling component in the Pvr-dependent regulation of intestinal homeostasis.
Scer\GAL4crq.PO/PvrCA.UAS partially rescues Pvr5363
Expression of PvrCA.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4crq.PO in the Pvr5363 homozygous mutant background restores the impaired posterior migration of ventral hemocytes and partially rescues the failed transition of hemocytes across the ventral nerve cord in the anterior (but not posterior) of the mutant embryos. It however does not restore the invasion of hemocytes into the extended germband.
