Expression of ptcC.Scer\UAS when driven by Scer\GAL471B or Scer\GAL469B causes no detectable wing phenotype. Expression of both ptcN.Scer\UAS and ptcC.Scer\UAS when driven by Scer\GAL471B causes both mild and severe wing phenotypes in the wing - partial fusion of wing veins 3 and 4 to the deletion of the region between veins 2 and 4. Expression of both ptcN.Scer\UAS and either ptcC.Scer\UAS when driven by Scer\GAL4en-e16E leads to a drastic loss of central wing pattern.
The addition of both ptcN.Scer\UAS and ptcC.Scer\UAS (when driven by Scer\GAL4da.G32) to ptc16 embryos complements the cuticle defects of these embryos - instead of 20% of embryos having a "ptc" phenotype, only 1% do. (with ptcN.Scer\UAS) Partially rescues: ptc16
Carried in a plasmid and transfected into S2 cells for co-immunoprecipitation experiments.
