Construct: aret response elements (BRE) have been deleted from osk 3' UTR.
Addition of oskΔBRE to wild-type mothers, suppresses head development in about half of embryos laid, and causes a duplication of abdominal segments at the anterior (a bicaudal phenotype) in over a third.
Most osk6 homozygotes carrying one copy of P{oskBRE-} have anterior pattern deletions, head structures and the first thoracic denticle belt are missing, two copies cause a more severe posteriorization of the body pattern phenotype.
oskΔBRE, stau2 has ventral denticle belt phenotype, suppressible by stauΔdRBD5.αTub67C.Tag:MYC
oskΔBRE, stau2 has embryonic epidermis phenotype, suppressible by stauΔdRBD5.αTub67C.Tag:MYC
oskΔBRE has embryonic abdomen phenotype, suppressible by stau2
oskΔBRE has embryonic abdomen | ectopic phenotype, suppressible by stau2
oskΔBRE, stau2 has abdominal ventral denticle belt phenotype
oskΔBRE, stau2 has embryonic abdomen phenotype
None of the embryos laid by stau2, oskΔBRE mothers develop a bicaudal phenotype, and almost all form only one abdominal segment at the posterior. A third of embryos laid by stauΔloop2.αTub67C.T:Hsap\MYC, stau2, oskΔBRE mothers develop a bicaudal phenotype, another third show suppression of head development and partial or complete rescue of the abdomen. stau2, oskΔBRE, stauΔdRBD5.αTub67C.T:Hsap\MYC mothers lay embryos with significantly more abdominal denticle belts than seen in stau2,oskΔBRE alone.
