w1118 flies were used as wild-type control. The wIR; dcr-2L811fsX mutant flies have been previously described (27 (link)). ubi-Gal4,tub-Gal80ts was a gift from Dr. D. Ferrandon. hopTum-l, ppl-Gal4, da-Gal4, hs-Gal4 were obtained from Bloomington Stock center.

For the generation of Ect4 mutant lines, transgenic U6:3-gRNA-Ect4 flies were crossed with the nos-Cas9 flies to get male F0 (nos-Cas9/+; U6:3-gRNA-Ect4/+) that were crossed with w1118; TM3, Sb/TM6B, Tb to obtain F1 progenies. Singular F1 flies were crossed with w1118; TM3, Sb/TM6B, Tb. PCR products amplified from F1 flies before being cloned into the pMD19-T vector according to the manufacturer’s instructions (TAKARA) for mutation identification.

Brm Knockdown in Drosophila

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Stocks used in this paper are UAS-mCD8GFP, UAS-Brm-IR (#31712) and Hs-Gal4 from Bloomington Stock Center (http://flystocks.bio.indiana.edu). All transgenes are on the third chromosome. We crossed UAS-Brm-IR males with Hs-Gal4 females to generate the transgenic strain containing UAS-Brm-IR and Hs-Gal4 for Brm knockdown (experimental group, short for BrmIR). Similarly, the transgenic strain containing UAS-mCD8GFP and Hs-Gal4 (control group, short for GFP) was generated by crossing UAS-mCD8GFP males with Hs-Gal4 females and expected to remove the influence of UAS-Gal4 system.

All flies were grown as described previously (Jang et al., 2020 (link)). The w1118, hs-GAL4, and elav-GAL4 strains were obtained from Bloomington Stock Center (USA). PDKP (PDKEY01879) and PDPP (PDPG1628) mutants were also obtained from Bloomington Stock Center and backcrossed with the w1118 controls for six generations to remove genetic background effects. The insertion site of the P-element in PDKP is located at +88 bp of the PDK open reading frame, and the P-element insertion site in PDPP is located at +52 bp of the PDP transcription start site. PDK cDNA was sub-cloned from the LD23669 BDGP cDNA clones, inserted into the pUAST vector with a C-terminal HA (hemagglutinin)-tag, and microinjected into w1118 embryos. DJ-1βex54 flies were generated as previously described (Park et al., 2005 (link)). The dVHL1 and UAS-sima fly lines were kindly provided by Dr. Tien Hsu and Dr. Pablo Wappner.

To generate UAS-SIK3 flies, SIK3 EST cDNA (Berkeley Drosophila Genome Project accession no. LD07105) was cloned into the Myc-tagged pUAST vector and microinjected into w1118 embryos. All flies were grown on food containing approximately 35 g cornmeal, 70 g dextrose, 5 g agar, 50 g dry active yeast (Ottogi, Inc., Korea), 4.6 ml propionic acid, and 7.3 ml Tegosept (100 g/l in ethanol) per liter at 25°C.

All fly strains and crosses were maintained at 25°C with standard cornmeal medium. w1118 and yw flies were used as controls. The following alleles were used: For de2f1 mutants, de2f1rm729 [22 (link)] alleles were crossed to the Df(3R)Exel6186 deficiency allele which lacks the entire de2f1 gene locus (Exelis collection at the Harvard Medical School). dDPa3a1 and dDPa4a3 alleles [7 (link)] were crossed together to generate dDP mutants. PiggyBac transposase stock (#8285) was obtained from the Bloomington Stock Center for removal of the ScarlessDsRed cassette for de2f1b mutant generation. For overexpression and rescue experiments, the following GAL4 lines were obtained from the Bloomington Drosophila Stock Center: Ubi-Gal4, GMR-Gal4, and hs-Gal4 (Bloomington, IN, USA). For knock-down of CycE, UAS-CycE-RNAi was obtained from the Vienna Drosophila Resource Center (Vienna, Australia). PCNA-GFP was obtained from Dr. Duronio [27 (link)]. UAS-FM-dE2F1a and UAS-FM-dE2F1b overexpression constructs were generated by using the Drosophila Gateway collection (Drosophila Genomic Resource Center). The entry clones, pENTR-dE2F1 and pENTR-dE2F1b, were generated then recombined into the pTFM destination vector to be randomly integrated into the Drosophila genome. Minimum of 10 independent transgene lines were screened to identify lines with similar levels of expression.

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.
