Knockdown of Dis3 in the wing imaginal disc results in severe developmental phenotypes. Knockdown of Dis3 in the wing pouch of the wing imaginal disc results in a “no wing” phenotype at 100% penetrance (Dis3KD) (B) when compared to a UAS-Dis3RNAi parental control male fly (Dis3WT) (A). (C) Knockdown of Dis3 protein in nub-GAL4/+; UAS-Dis3RNAi/+ wing imaginal discs by Western blotting. Dis3WT genotype: ; nub-Gal4;. (C) Dis3 expression is knocked down to 20% of parental controls in wing imaginal discs when UAS-Dis3RNAi is driven by nub-GAL4. 'Dis3WT' includes parental genotypes ; nub-Gal4 ; and ;; UAS-Dis3RNAi. n ≥ 3, p = 0 .0009, error bars show standard error. (D and E) nub-GAL4/+; UAS-Dis3RNAi/+ flies also show a severe lack of haltere development (E) (100% penetrance) compared to parental control flies (D). (F) Dis3 knockdown progeny (nub-GAL4/+ ; UAS-Dis3RNAi/+) are delayed in larval development by 40 hours (red) when compared to parental controls (black – UAS-Dis3RNAi and nub-GAL4) (n ≥ 23 ).
