All Drosophila strains were grown and maintained at 25 °C. Following fly stocks were used for the experiments: Ciao1 RNAi (Vienna Drosophila Resource Center, v32020 and v105939), Xpd RNAi (Vienna Drosophila Resource Center v106998), UAS-CycE (BDSC 4781), UAS-Diap1, UAS-p35, ey-Gal4, GMR-Gal4, en-Gal4, ptc-Gal4, nub-Gal4, and FRT42D M(2)531 (BDSC 5698) were obtained from the Bloomington stock center. For overexpression of Crbintra, UAS-Crbintra was crossed with GMR-Gal4 (Bloomington). Xpdp flies were a kind donation from Dr. Beat Suter. To construct the transgenic lines, UAS-Ciao1 and UAS-Xpd, full length Ciao1 and Xpd cDNA (from the Drosophila Genome Research Center) were cloned into pUAST vector.

The following transgenic lines were used in our study: en-Gal4, UAS-mRFP, NRE-GFP (Bloomington Drosophila Stock Center, BDSC#30729, USA), en-Gal4, UAS-mRFP, NRE-GFP; Gal80ts, UAS-br RNAi (BDSC#27272), UAS-mam RNAi (BDSC#28046), UAS-EcR B1 W650A (BDSC#6872), UAS-br-Z1 (Zhou and Riddiford, 2002 (link)), UAS-Delta RNAi (BDSC#34322), UAS-Delta (BDSC#5614), UAS-NICD (Xie et al., 2014 (link)), cut-lacZ (Jack et al., 1991 (link)) and hsFLP; actin<CD2<Gal4,UAS-RFP/TM3,Sb.
For the FLP/FRT clone induction (Golic and Lindquist, 1989 (link); Xu and Rubin, 1993 (link)), hsFLP, 19A RFP was applied, and clones were induced by one session of heat shock for 2 h at 37°C during late second instar larval stage. To generate mosaic wing discs expressing UAS constructs, the flip-out Gal4 (Pignoni and Zipursky, 1997 (link)) stock hsFLP;actin<CD2<Gal4,UAS-RFP/TM3,Sb was applied. Flip-out clones were induced by 30 min heat shock at 37°C two days before dissection. en-Gal4,UAS-mRFP, NRE-GFP; Gal80ts was used to manipulate gene expression in the posterior compartment of wing discs. In this technique, en-Gal4,UAS-mRFP, NRE-GFP; Gal80ts flies were crossed with UAS lines, and the progeny were raised at 18°C until late second instar larval stage, then shifted to 29°C for two days before dissection.

Drosophila Lineage-Specific Gene Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We used Oregon-R (Bloomington Drosophila Stock Center (BDSC) 6362) as a wild-type strain. For cell lineage specific gene expression, we utilized the Gal4-UAS system, in which transcriptional activator Gal4 is expressed in a specific cell lineage and binds to UAS (upstream activating sequence) to induce downstream gene expression. The following Gal4 lines were used: NP1-Gal4 (Kyoto stock center 112001), mex-Gal4 (a gift from Dr. Lucy Erin O'Brien), esg-Gal4 (a gift from Dr. Shigeo Hayashi), Dl-Gal4 (a gift from Dr. Xiankun Zeng), MS1096-Gal4 (BDSC 8860), and en-Gal4 (BDSC 25752). tub-Gal80 ts (BDSC 7019) was used to temporally regulate Gal4-driven gene expression. To induce mosaic gene expression, tub-FRT-Gal80 (BDSC 38880) and hs-FLP (BDSC 1929) were used. For the split-lacZ analysis, flies with the following genotype were used: hs-FLP; mex-Gal4, X15-33 and tub-Gal80ts, X15-29 Diptericin-lacZ reporter (BDSC 55707) was used to histologically examine the AMP expression by X-gal staining. Bloomington Deficiency Kit (BDSC, http://flystocks.bio.indiana.edu/ Browse/df/dfkit-info.htm) was utilized for the genome-wide screen to identify gene deletions that alleviate the mortality of NP1-Gal4-mediated Atg7 RNAi flies upon DSS feeding.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
