UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of nompC in which 17 additional ankyrin repeats (ARs) derived from nompC have been inserted near the first trans-membrane segment. The protein sequence is nompC amino acids (aa) 1-533, an ArgSer linker, nompC aa126-1143, an ArgSer linker and nompC aa1144-1732. The protein is tagged at the C-terminal end with EGFP.
Scer\GAL419-12/nompC29+17ARs.UAS.EGFP fails to rescue nompC1/nompC3
Expression of nompC29+17ARs.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP driven by Scer\GAL419-12 fails to rescue the electrophysiological and locomotor deficits in response to touch of nompC1/nompC3 third instar larvae.
