Expression of sdΔ88-159.Scer\UAS in the wing disc (under the control of Scer\GAL4sd-SG29.1) produces elongated pupae and adults and causes loss of the adult wing.
Expression of sdΔ88-159.Scer\UAS in muscle cells under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR results in 78% pupal lethality. Larvae exhibit obvious gaps between the dorsal acute (DA)1 muscles are larger than in wild-type, suggesting the elongated body type is caused by muscle defects.
Expression of sdΔ88-159.Scer\UAS at early embryo developmental stages (7-11) under the control of Scer\GAL4twi.PG does not lead to elongated adults and significant lethality.
Expression of sdΔ88-159.Scer\UAS, driven by Scer\GAL4vg.boundary, leads to an enhancement of the wing phenotypes seen in sdETX4 and sd58d mutants. Overexpression of sdΔ88-159.Scer\UAS driven by Scer\GAL4vg.boundary leads to a defective wing phenotype in wild-type flies.
sdΔ88-159.UAS/Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR is a suppressor of muscle attachment site | ectopic phenotype of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR, vgUAS.Tag:HA
sdΔ88-159.UAS/Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR is a suppressor of muscle attachment site | ectopic phenotype of sli2
Co-expression of both vgUAS.Tag:HA and sdΔ88-159.UAS in developing muscles under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR results in fewer ectopic muscle attachments (24.5% compared with 81.8% when vgUAS.Tag:HA is expressed alone).
