UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of a kinase-dead form of "activated" htl, which consists of the transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains of htl carrying the K443A mutation to abolish kinase function, the dimerization domain of the bacteriophage λ cI repressor (included to induce constitutive dimerization of the encoded protein) and two copies of the Tag:HA tag.
Scer\GAL4twi.PG/htlK443A.λ.UAS.Tag:HA fails to rescue htlAB42
Expression of htlK443A.Scer\UAS.T:λ\cI-DD,T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4twi.PG is unable to rescue mesodermal spreading in htlAB42 mutant embryos.
