UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of cDNA encoding the Adar 3/4 isoform in which the active site Glu residue has been mutated to Ala. The coding region is tagged with both Tag:FLAG and Tag:polyHis.
Among male progeny of rescue crosses that carry both the Adar1F4 mutation and the AdarEA.3.4.Scer\UAS construct, the number of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI driver flies obtained, expressed as a percentage of the number of control flies lacking a GAL4 driver, is 72%.
Scer\GAL4βtub.PU/AdarEA.3.4.UAS fails to rescue Adar5G1
Scer\GAL4ChAT.7.4/AdarEA.3.4.UAS fails to rescue Adar5G1
Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI/AdarEA.3.4.UAS fails to rescue Adar1F4
Expression of Adar3.4.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Cha.7.4 fails to rescue the locomotor defects seen in Adar5G1 adults.
