UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of a truncated hh open reading frame (a stop codon has been introduced at codon 258). This is expected to result in a protein in which addition of cholesterol to the C-terminal end of the protein does not occur, while palmitoylation can still occur at the N-terminal end.
hhN.Scer\UAS.cGa expressing cells display strong punctate labeling on the plasma membrane.
Clones of peripodial cells expressing hhN.Scer\UAS.cGa under the control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E induce significant outgrowth of the anterior compartment of the wing imaginal disc.
Scer\GAL4en-e16E, hhN.UAS.cGa has peripodial epithelium phenotype
Scer\GAL4en-e16E, dispS037707, hhN.UAS.cGa has denticle | germline clone | maternal effect phenotype
Clones of peripodial cells expressing both hhN.Scer\UAS.cGa and dispScer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E induce significant outgrowth of the anterior compartment of the wing imaginal disc.
Expression of hhN.Scer\UAS.cGa with Scer\GAL4en-e16E in dispS037707 germ-line clone embryos doesn't rescue naked cuticle formation, but does increase denticle diversity in the ventral cuticle: row 3,4 and 5 type denticles are all present: denticles type 3 and 4 cover each segment, whereas type 5 denticles have almost totally disappeared.
hhN.UAS.cGa/Scer\GAL469B partially rescues hhAC
Expression of hhN.Scer\UAS.cGa, under the control of Scer\GAL4unspecified rescues the hhAC phenotype.
Naked cuticle formation in hhAC homozygous embryonic cuticle is partially rescued by hhN.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1; Scer\GAL469B (some denticle belts are fused at the midline). The denticle belts formed consist of (A-P) a single row 1 type followed by a number of row 2, sometimes followed by a row 1.
