The following fly strains from the Bloomington Drosophila Stock Center were used in this study: CS (#64349), w1118 (#3605), Oregon-R, y1,v1;UAS-bmm-RNAi (#25926), y1,v1;attP40 (#36304), w1118;UAS-nGFP (#4775); UAS-mCD8::GFP (#5130). The following fly strains from the Vienna Drosophila Resource Center were used in this study: UAS-bmm-RNAi (#37880), UAS-bmm-RNAi (#37877). We obtained the bmm1 mutants and bmmrev control strain as a kind gift from R. Kühnlein [32 (link)]; CMW flies, Mel c2.2, and Mel c2.3 (wild-caught isofemale lines) as a kind gift from I. Dworkin; and UAS-LD-GFP flies from M. Welte. We used the following stocks for tissue-specific overexpression of the UAS-bmm-RNAi transgene: da-GAL4 (ubiquitous), cg-GAL4 (abdominal fat body), r4-GAL4 (abdominal fat body) elav-GAL4 (postmitotic neurons), nSyb-GAL4 (neurons), repo-GAL4 (glia), Mex-GAL4 (intestinal enterocytes), c587-GAL4 (somatic cells of the gonad), tj-GAL4 (somatic cells of the gonad), and dMef2-GAL4 (muscle cells).
