Autotoxins are oenocyte-derived cuticular lipids. a, b Survival curves for LOW responder males showing that hexane extracts the autotoxin activity from preconditioned (PC) vials a or from adult cuticle b. c Autotoxin activity is not detectable in vials preconditioned with STD male donors overexpressing TSC1 + 2 in oenocytes (PromE TS > TSC), unlike control (w > TSC) or non-preconditioned vials (empty). d Dorsal oenocytes from 1 week STD males of a control genotype (PromE TS > mGFP), TSC1 + 2 overexpression (PromE TS > ;mGFP, TSC), Cyp4g1 RNAi (PromE TS > mGFP, Cyp4g1 RNAi) or Desat1 RNAi (PromE TS > mGFP, Desat1 RNAi). Oenocytes and nuclei are marked with mCD8::GFP (green) and DAPI (blue), respectively. Scale bar = 100 μm. In this and subsequent figures, PromE TS driven expression was restricted to adulthood (Methods section)
