Fly stocks and genetic crosses were reared at 25°C unless otherwise stated. Fly stocks were kept in vials or bottles containing standard fly food (0.8% Drosophila agar, 5.8% Cornmeal, 5.1% Dextrose, and 2.4% Brewer’s yeast). The following fly strains were used in this study: insc-Gal4 (BDSC#8751; 1407-Gal4), insc-Gal4, UAS-Dicer2 with and without UAS-CD8-GFP, Jupiter-GFP (G147), UAS-hyx, UAS-HRPT2 [51 (link)]. The type II NSC driver: w; UAS-Dicer 2, wor-Gal4, ase-Gal80/CyO; UAS-mCD8-GFP/TM3, Ser [86 (link)]; hyx RNAi hyxHT622, UAS-venus-polo [28 (link)].
The following stocks were obtained from Bloomington Drosophila Stock Center (BDSC): UAS-Gal RNAi (BDSC#50680; this stock is often used as a control UAS element to balance the total number of UAS elements), ctr912P023 (BDSC#59389), rtf1 RNAi (BDSC#36586), rtf1 RNAi (BDSC#34850) [87 (link)], rtf1 RNAi (BDSC#31718), UAS-aurA (BDSC#8376), actin5C-Gal4 (BDSC#25374).
The following stocks were obtained from Vienna Drosophila Resource Center (VDRC): hyx RNAi (28318), hyx RNAi (103555), atms RNAi (108826) [87 (link)], atu RNAi (17490) [88 (link)], atu RNAi (106074), ctr9 RNAi (108874), ctr9 RNAi [89 (link)], rtf1 RNAi (27341) [88 (link)], rtf1 RNAi (110392).
All experiments were carried out at 25°C, except for RNAi knockdown or overexpression experiments that were performed at 29°C.

Fly stocks were kept in vials or bottles containing standard fly food (0.8% Drosophila agar, 5.8% Cornmeal, 5.1% Dextrose and 2.4% Brewer’s yeast). The following fly strains were used: vib133, vib1105, UAS-NYFP-Myc, UAS-CYFP-HA, UAS-NYFP-Myc-Vib, UAS-CYFP-HA-Sqh, UAS-Vib::Venus, UAS-VibT63A::Venus, UAS-VibT63E::Venus, UAS-PITPα::Venus and UAS-PITPβ::Venus (this study), fwd3, P{w+, PI4KIIIα} FRT80B and PI4KIIΔ (Julie, A. Brill), sqhAx3; p[w;sqh-GFP42], UAS-Cdc42::GFP (Akira Chiba), baz, FRT19A, w, Ubi-Rok-GFP (I) and w;; Ubi-Rok-GFP (III) (Bellaiche, Y), UAS-WAVE-HA-CYFP and UAS-Abi-Myc-NYFP(Bogdan, S). The following stocks were obtained from Bloomington Drosophila Stock Center: insc-Gal4 (BDSC#8751), elav-Gal4 (BDSC#8765), P{lacW}vibj5A6/TM6B,Tb (BDSC#12144), P{lacW}vibj7A3/TM3, Sb (BDSC#10308), Vib deficiency w; Df(3R)BSC850/TM6C,Sb,cu (BDSC#27922), sqhAX3,FRT19A/FM7c (BDSC#25712), sqh RNAi (BDSC#33892), w; Sqh-mCherry (BDSC#59024), PI4KIIIαC, FRT19A/FM7c (BDSC#57112), w; UAS-2xOsh2PH-GFP (BDSC#57353), w; UAS-2xOsh2PH-GFP/CyO; Pri/TM6B, Tb (BSDC#57352).
Crosses for RNAi knockdown and overexpression were incubated at 25°C for 24 hr before transferring to 29°C, where the larvae were aged for 72 hr. Wandering third instar larvae were dissected and processed for immunohistochemistry staining.

Drosophila Germline Stem Cell RNAi

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
UAS-RNAi lines are generated by TRiP and are available at the Bloomington Drosophila stock center (BDSC). For the RNAi experiments we used a maternal triple driver MTD-Gal4 (BDSC 31777) or UAS-dcr2; nanos-Gal4 (BDSC 25751) to drive expression of UAS-RNAi transgenes in GSCs, MAT-Gal4 (BDSC 7063) for germline expression outside the germarium, and insc-Gal4 for expression in larval Nbs. For trap-mediated loss of function analyses we used UAS-shRNAs targeting eGFP as previously described (Neumuller et al., 2012 (link)). Protein trap lines scny::GFP, dom::GFP and CG11266::GFP are described in (Buszczak et al., 2007 (link)). We chose the name inselgruppe (German for ‘group of islands’, abbreviated: igru) due to the few remaining, scattered Vasa positive cells observed in the ovaries upon knockdown.

Df(2R) XE2900 (#108418) is from the Kyoto Drosophila Genomics and Genetic Resource.
NSC drivers included insc-Gal4 (BDSC#8751; 1407-Gal4) or insc-Gal4, tub-Gal80ts. Glial driver was repo-Gal4 (BDSC# 7145). Ubiquitous driver was tub-Gal4 (BDSC#5138). UAS-Dcr2 (BDSC#24650) was used together with various RNAi stocks. ddb1 and mahj RNAi knockdown efficiency was verified by immunostaining of anti-DDB1 and anti-Mahj antibodies in larval brains.
All experiments with mutants were carried out at 25 °C, and experiments for RNAi knockdown or overexpression were performed at 29 °C.

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.
