Expression of hthHM.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP in all photoreceptor neurons under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF alters the dual terminals seen in the dorsal-posterior M6 medulla to single terminals.

Expression of hthHM.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP under the control of Scer\GAL4Dll-md23 disrupts distal leg patterning.

Expression of hthHM.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP, under the control of Scer\GAL4hth-GETDB causes an antenna-to-leg transformation in 69% of cases. Scer\GAL4hth-GETDB>hthHM.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP flies rarely show loss of wing blades and halteres.

Flies coexpressing hthScer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP and hthHM.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP, both under the control of Scer\GAL4hth-GETDB, show a significant reversion of the phenotypes observed when each is expressed individually.

Adults expressing hthHM.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.long have no obvious external eye phenotype. In the dorsal rim area (DRA) of the eye, the R8 photoreceptor cells have lost their DRA identity and appear to have chosen the regular R8 cell fate. The nuclei of DRA R8 cells are located significantly more basally than normal, as is typical for the regular R8 cells found throughout the rest of the eye. All central photoreceptor cells (R7 and R8) in the DRA have lost their typical large rhabdomere in these flies.

Expression of hthHM.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP under the control of Scer\GAL4dpp.blk1 or Scer\GAL4ptc-559.1 does not suppress eye development. Expression of hthHM.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP under the control of Scer\GAL4ptc-559.1 does not produce a split wing phenotype. Expression of hthHM.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP under the control of Scer\GAL4Dll-md23 results in leg truncations and the transformation of distal antenna into distal leg. Expression of hthHM.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 results in an increase in pigmentation in anterior tergites of males, consistent with an anterior to posterior transformation of abdominal segment identity. No effect on trichome density is seen in these flies, suggesting the transformation is incomplete.
