dorsal mesothoracic disc & epithelial cell, with Scer\GAL4en-e16E
Overexpression of crbT6DT9D.intra.Scer\UAS, under the regulation of Scer\GAL4en-e16E in the imaginal discs disrupts the wing epithelium, with disorganisation of the wing tissue being attributable to apicalisation of the wing disc cells and causes strong cuticular defects.
Expression of kinase-dead aPKCCAAXDN.Scer\UAS, under the regulation of Scer\GAL4en-e16E normalises the effect caused by overexpression of wild-type crbT6DT9D.intra.Scer\UAS (under the control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E) in approximately 40% of the flies, even though these flies still display strong cuticular defects
