Expression of the cinA–cinBwPip genes in flies induces CI-like embryo killing and rescue phenotypes. (A and B) Two strategies were used to generate transgenic flies. cinAwPip was inserted into the second chromosome and cinBwPip was inserted into the third chromosome (UAS:cinA/UAS:cinA; UAS:cinB/UAS:cinB) (A), or cinAwPip and cinBwPip were linked by a T2A viral sequence (yellow) and inserted into the third chromosome (UAS:cinA-T2A-cinB/UAS:cinA-T2A-cinB) (B). (C) Crosses with flies transgenic for either cinAwPip or cinBwPip alone expressed using the NGT driver (highlighted in orange). Data in burgundy represent CI-inducing crosses while green represents either rescue or weakening of CI induction by the CinB-K636A mutation. All control crosses are shown in gray. n = 40 to 64. (D) Crosses with flies transgenic for the entire cinA–cinBwPip operon under control of the NGT driver. n = 38 to 58. Error bars in C and D represent SD of the mean; **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001 by ANOVA with multiple comparison between all groups. (E) Transgenic CI in crosses with flies transgenic for the entire cinA–cinBwPip operon expressed using the strong maternal triple driver (highlighted in red) could be rescued by transgenic cinAwPip females. Vertical lines represent medians. n = 23 to 57. ****P < 0.0001 by 2-tailed Mann–Whitney U test.
