“…For assessment of Ftz-f1 expression in the ovary, we used transgenic line ftz-f1 sfGFP, Tag: FLAG ( ftz-f1::GFP ), which carries a bacterial artificial chromosome containing the entire ftz-f1 gene locus and surrounding regulatory DNA, including an sfGFP-Tag: FLAG cassette introduced at the C-terminal end of the ftz-f1 coding region (Bloomington stock #38645; R. Spokony). Expression of ftz-f1 in escort cells and follicle cells was further confirmed using P{VT032964-GAL4}attP2 ( VT032964-Gal4 ) and P{VT032969-GAL4}attP2 ( VT032969-Gal4 ), in which ∼2 kB of intronic sequence from ftz-f1-RB is fused upstream of a Drosophila synthetic core promoter and GAL4 ( Kvon et al 2014 ; McDonald et al 2019 ). VT032964-Gal4 and VT032969-Gal4 were crossed with P{w+mC=UAS-lacZ.NZ}J312 ( UASt-lacZ ; Bloomington stock #3956) to confirm driver expression.…”

“…This pattern is consistent with a recent study in which high levels of Ftz-f1 protein were detected transiently in follicle cells in stages 10–12 ( Knapp et al 2020 ). To further validate the ftz-f1 expression in early follicle cells, we used two ftz-f1 enhancer trap lines ( ftz-f1 VT032964 and ftz-f1 VT032969 ) that are sufficient to drive reporter gene expression in the ovary ( McDonald et al 2019 ). Both reporters correspond to α- ftz-f1 intronic DNA, and ftz-f1 VT032964 overlaps a previously characterized β- ftz-f1 enhancer element ( Kageyama et al 2003 ; McDonald et al 2019 ).…”

“…PriA represents a striking case of a pleiotropic enhancer that is expressed in both the embryonic epidermis and the leg primordium, as well as in renal (Bohère et al, 2018) and intestinal (Al Hayek et al, 2021) adult stem cells. Of note, other genes of the ecdysone cascade possess pleiotropic enhancers, as seen with EcR, Eip75B, and ftz-f1 that are driven by enhancers active in both somatic and germline tissues during oogenesis (McDonald et al, 2019). Pleiotropic enhancers may serve as a platform to drive gene expression in several spatiotemporal contexts (Sabaris et al, 2019), and future work will be required to better understand their behavior and functions during development (Preger-Ben Noon et al, 2018).…”
