Based on cellular function, a subset of genes was selected from the list of genes that were upregulated in both sas-4 and asl mutants relative to wild-type. The stock identifiers for RNAi lines targeting the genes of interest are shown. RNAi lines were crossed to the MS1096-Gal4 UAS-GFP (MS>GFP) wing disc driver alone and in combination with sas-4 RNAi. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase knockdown alone had modest effects that were synergistically elevated in cells codepleted of centrosomes by sas-4 RNAi (see Figure 6, A and B).
