Flies were grown and crossed on standard food containing cornmeal, molasses, and yeast at room temperature (~22°C). The following fly strains were used in this study: Mef2-GAL4 (Bloomington Drosophila Stock Center (BDSC) #27390), UAS-CD8::GFP, UAS-lacZ, UAS-dpp-GFP (BDSC #53716) (Teleman and Cohen, 2000 (link)), dpp-GAL4 (BDSC #1553), Mi{MIC}dppMI03752 (BDSC #36399) PBac{RB}e00178 (Exelixis at Harvard Medical School), Pnglex14 (Funakoshi et al., 2010 (link)), UAS-PnglRNAi KK101641 (Vienna Drosophila Resource Center), UAS-attB-NGLY1WT-VK31 (Galeone et al., 2017 (link)), UAS-attB-NGLY1N41P-VK31, UAS-attB-NGLY1F70A/G80A-VK31, dppHA and dppHA-3NQ (this study). For survival (eclosion test), the expected ratio of offspring was calculated based on Mendelian inheritance for each genotypic class and the observed/expected ratio is reported as a percentage.
