UAS sequences drive expression mbc coding sequences (from GenBank:AF007805 nucleotides 609 to 1311) repeated in dyad symmetry.
Scer\GAL4slbo.2.6-mediated expression of mbcdsRNA.Scer\UAS results in severe defects in border cell migration in which approximately 40% of the stage 10 egg chambers contain cell clusters that fail to reach the nurse cell/oocyte border.
When mbcdsRNA.Scer\UAS is driven by Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 mutant adults exhibit defects in thorax closure.
Scer\GAL4slbo.2.6, mbcRNAi.UAS has border follicle cell phenotype, enhanceable by Ced-12RNAi.UAS, Scer\GAL4slbo.2.6
Scer\GAL4slbo.2.6, mbcRNAi.UAS has border follicle cell phenotype, enhanceable by CrkRNAi.UAS, Scer\GAL4slbo.2.6
mbcRNAi.UAS, Scer\GAL4slbo.2.6 is an enhancer of border follicle cell phenotype of Ced-12RNAi.UAS, Scer\GAL4slbo.2.6
mbcRNAi.UAS, Scer\GAL4slbo.2.6 is an enhancer of border follicle cell phenotype of CrkRNAi.UAS, Scer\GAL4slbo.2.6
Co-expression of mbcdsRNA.Scer\UAS and Ced-12dsRNA.Scer\UAS using Scer\GAL4slbo.2.6 increases the severity and penetrance of the border cell migration defects compared to when either transgene is expressed alone, such that 55% of the border cells fail to migrate completely.
Co-expression of mbcdsRNA.Scer\UAS and CrkdsRNA.Scer\UAS using Scer\GAL4slbo.2.6 increases the severity and penetrance of the border cell migration defects compared to when either transgene is expressed alone, but only slightly.
