The UAS-dMyc is a genetic construct that allows for the overexpression of the dMyc gene in Drosophila melanogaster. The dMyc gene is a homolog of the human c-Myc proto-oncogene and plays a role in cell growth and proliferation. The UAS-dMyc construct can be used in conjunction with the GAL4 transcriptional activator system to induce targeted overexpression of dMyc in specific cell types or developmental stages.

Fly lines were cultured at 25°C on standard fly food unless otherwise noted. The transgenes used were as follows: UAS-salr (de Celis et al., 1996 (link)), UAS-salm (from the Bloomington Drosophila Stock Center #29716, short for BL#29716), UAS-SALL4-HA (BL#65835), UAS-Timp (BL#58708), UAS-bskDN (Weber et al., 2000 (link)), UAS-p35 (BL#5073), UAS-Diap1 (BL#6657), UAS-GFP (nuclear expression, BL#4775), UAS-CD8-GFP (membrane expression) (Lee and Luo, 1999 (link)), UAS-dMyc (BL#9674), dMyc-RNAi (BL#36123), puc-lacZ (Martin-Blanco et al., 1998 (link)), UAS-puc (Dobens et al., 2001 (link)), dpp-Gal4 (Shen and Mardon, 1997 (link)), actin5c>CD2>Gal4 (Pignoni and Zipursky, 1997 (link)), and AB1-Gal4 (BL#1824). To promote the GFP phenotype in a larval body, salm, salr, or SALL4-overexpressing larvae were raised at 29°C after egg laying. Clones in the larval wing imaginal discs were generated with the genotypes y w1118 hs-Flp; actin5c>CD2>Gal4 UAS-GFP/CyO; UAS-salr/UAS-SALL4-HA by heat shock at 35.5°C for 30 min. Then, late third-instar larvae were dissected after a recovery period of 3 days at 25°C.

The following Drosophila stocks were maintained under standard laboratory conditions (25 °C) on BDSC cornmeal medium (Bloomington Drosophila Stock Center: https://bdsc.indiana.edu/information/recipes/bloomfood.html): w1118 (Bloomington 3605), Dmef2-GAL4 (Ranganayakulu et al., 1998 (link)), UAS-2xEGFP (Bloomington 6874), UAS-GFP RNAi (from J. Zallen, SKI), UAS-dmyc (from N. Perrimon), UAS-dup (double parked/Ctd1) RNAi (from T. Orr-Weaver). Crosses (GAL4 × UAS) were performed at 25 °C on apple juice plates under 12:12 Light:Dark conditions and constant humidity. For all experiments, embryos hatched within a 2h period were selected and raised to third instar larval stage on cornmeal medium at 25°C. Staging of 3rd instar larvae was confirmed using developmental landmarks, including mouth hook and spiracle morphologies. Both male and female larvae were analyzed.

Flies were obtained from the Bloomington Drosophila Stock Center: UAS-dmyc (#7118); UAS-miR-277 (#36559); UAS-miR-277sponge (#61408). These Fly lines carrying UAS-RNA interference (RNAi) constructs were obtained from the Tsinghua Fly Center: dmycRNAi (#47953); imdRNAi (#31706); Tab2RNAi (#24667). As well as previously purchased tubulin-Gal80ts;TM2/TM6B (#7019) and tubulin-Gal4/TM3, Sb1, Ser1 (#5138), all flies were raised on maize malt molasses food in a light-dark (12-hr cycle) incubator at 25°C and 60% humidity. Flies were shifted to 30°C 24 h prior to and then during infection for UAS-protein/UAS-miR-277sponge/UAS-proteinRNAi overexpression experiments.

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.
