UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of a Mmus\Zfpm1 cDNA.
When Mmus\Zfpm1Scer\UAS.cFa is driven by Scer\GAL4lz-gal4 a significant decrease in the average number of crystal cells is seen stage 13-16 embryos by 50%. About 23% of embryos have no detectable crystal cells. When Mmus\Zfpm1Scer\UAS.cFa is driven by Scer\GAL4twi.PB a reduction in the umber of cardiac cells is seen in embryos. An average of 40% of embryos have gaps in the heart tube ranging from 10 cells missing to a complete absence of cardiac cells. When Mmus\Zfpm1Scer\UAS.cFa is driven by Scer\GAL4ey.PH severe defects are seen in the eye. These include ectopic production of antennae, reduction or loss of the eye, disrupted ommatidial polarity. This combination is also lethal for about 80% of the population before eclosion.
