Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

5 days old kudKO homozygous larvae display a severely reduced body size, as compared to age-matched controls. kudKO homozygous follicular epithelium clones exhibit a strong decrease in average transverse cell area, a severe increase in the frequency of clones exhibiting apoptotic cells (labelled by activated caspase 3), and reduced level of lysosomes/autolysosomes (labeled by Lysotracker), as compared to controls.

kudKO homozygous and kudKO/Df(3L)Exel9002 transheterozygous third instar larvae exhibit autophagy defects, shown by reduced levels of Atg8a protein in Western blots, as compared to controls.

Third instar larval muscle fibers from individuals only heterozygous for kudKO or also expressing kuddsRNA.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.247 exhibit mild and moderate nuclear spacing defects (i.e. nuclear clustering), respectively, but not nuclear shape defects, as compared to controls.

Statement
Reference

The increased apoptosis observed in kudKO homozygous follicular epithelium clones is partially suppressed by heterozygosity for Msp300compl or koi80, by homozygosity for klarΔ1-18, or by the expression of klar3'ΔS.Scer\UAS.6.T:Hsap\MYC under the control of Scer\GAL4Scer\FRT.Rnor\Cd2.Act5C, while being enhanced by the expression of klarScer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 or klar5'ΔA.Scer\UAS.6.T:Hsap\MYC under the control of Scer\GAL4Scer\FRT.Rnor\Cd2.Act5C. The decreased transverse cell areas in kudKO homozygous follicular epithelium clones are also partially suppressed by homozygosity for klarΔ1-18.

Statement
Reference

The increased apoptosis observed in kudKO homozygous follicular epithelium clones are suppressed by the expression of Hsap\TMEM258Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-CFP under the control of Scer\GAL4Scer\FRT.Rnor\Cd2.Act5C.
