UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of five tandem repeats of the minimal Alk interaction region (AIR) of cnk (residues 1384-1425). The protein is tagged at the N-terminal end with the Tag:Myr(Src42A) membrane localization signal and at the C-terminal end with three copies of Tag:HA.
Expression of cnk5xAIR.Scer\UAS.T:Myr-Src42A.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4sev.PU does not induce any overt morphological defects in the adult eye.
Scer\GAL4sev.PU/cnk5xAIR.UAS.Tag:Myr(Src42A).Tag:HA is a suppressor of visible | adult stage phenotype of AlkUAS.cLa, Scer\GAL4sev.PU
Scer\GAL4sev.PU/cnk5xAIR.UAS.Tag:Myr(Src42A).Tag:HA is a suppressor of eye phenotype of AlkUAS.cLa, Scer\GAL4sev.PU
Scer\GAL4sev.PU/cnk5xAIR.UAS.Tag:Myr(Src42A).Tag:HA is a suppressor of ommatidium | adult stage phenotype of AlkUAS.cLa, Scer\GAL4sev.PU
The disrupted morphology of ommatidia in the anterior part of the adult eye of flies expressing AlkScer\UAS.cLa under the control of Scer\GAL4sev.PU is strongly suppressed by co-expression of cnk5xAIR.Scer\UAS.T:Myr-Src42A.T:Ivir\HA1.
