Unlike the wild-type protein, the Cp190ΔM.Ubi-p63E protein is unable to interact with microtubules or centrosomes.
Cp190ΔM.Ubi-p63E has lethal | recessive | pupal stage phenotype, suppressible by Map60Ubi-p63E.PB
Flies carrying two copies of the Cp190ΔM.Ubi-p63E transgene, that normally show homozygous lethality, are viable as adults if they also carry a copy of the Map60Ubi-p63E.PB transgene.
Cp190ΔM.Ubi-p63E rescues Cp1903
Cp190ΔM.Ubi-p63E partially rescues Cp1902
Cp190ΔM.Ubi-p63E partially rescues Cp1901
Cp190ΔM.Ubi-p63E partially rescues Cp1902
Expression of Cp190ΔM.Ubi-p63E rescues the lethality of homozygous Cp1903.
Expression of the Cp190ΔM.Ubi-p63E transgene fails to rescue the axial-expansion defect of Cp1902 flies.
The Cp190ΔM.Ubi-p63E transgene rescues the lethality of Cp1902 mutants so that ~80% of flies survive to adulthood. However, these adults are unhealthy and only survive for a few days.
