In contrast to expression of a wild-type puc transgene, expression of pucDead.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC, under the control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E, does not reduce the amount of γ-radiation-induced apoptosis in the wing disc.
Likewise, Scer\GAL4en-e16E>pucDead.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC expression does not cause the misorientation of male external genitalia and increased bristles number seen following wild-type puc overexpression.
