UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
lethal | male, with Scer\GAL4btl.PS
The expression of bsKK108659 under the control of Scer\GAL41151 affects the indirect flight muscles myofibrils (although correctly specified, the muscles show a low polymerized actin content), but not jump muscles, as compared to controls. Although indirect flight muscle myofibril diameter is comparable to controls during mid-pupal stage, it is severely decreased in adults, suggesting myofibrils fail to grow from pupae to adults; however, sarcomere length is normal in both pupae and adults; the myofibril growth defects is rescued by the co-expression of bsUAS.ORF.GW.Tag:HA, with the myofibrils becoming even greater in diameter than those of controls.
Expression of bsKK108659 under the control of Scer\GAL4Bx-MS1096 has no effect on male wing size or patterning.
Expression of bsKK108659 under the control of Scer\GAL4Bx-MS1096 has no effect on female wing size or patterning.
bsKK108659 is partially rescued by bsUAS.ORF.GW.Tag:HA/Scer\GAL41151
The co-expression of bsUAS.ORF.GW.Tag:HA significantly improves the indirect flight muscles defects (actin content and myofibril diameter), but not the flight defects, induced by the expression of bsKK108659 under the control of Scer\GAL41151; and the rescued myofibrils become greater in diameter than those of controls.
