Construct: 2.6kb Asp718 XbaI fragment carrying the entire open reading frame and 400bp of 5' and 230bp of 3' untranslated sequence. Expression of the fragment is driven by 6.5kb NotI fragment of the Tl enhancer and Hsp70 promoter.
Overexpression prevents RP3 innervation to muscles 7 and 6.
Abnormal pattern of innervation of muscles 7 and 6 in segment A2 and muscle 31 in segment A1. Abnormal Rp3 and RP1 growth cone is seen by absence of normal terminal arbor on these muscles.
