The FRT cassette has been excised, juxtaposing the sev enhancers and heat shock promoter with the fz::fz2 coding sequences. The chimeric fz::fz2 coding region consists of the N-terminal domain of fz (the first 242 amino acids), followed by the fz2 transmembrane domain, followed by the fz C-terminal domain.
fz::fz21-2-1.hs.2sev is a suppressor of abnormal planar polarity phenotype of fz37/fz15
fz::fz21-2-1.hs.2sev is a suppressor of ommatidium phenotype of fz37/fz15
fz::fz21-2-1.hs.2sev significantly rescues the tissue polarity defect seen in fz37/fz15 eyes, such that 76.5 +/- 6.4 % of ommatidia have the correct chiral shape.
