Expression of dcodsRNA.WIZ.Scer\UAS, under the control of Scer\GAL4ptc-559.1, at 29oC results in a narrowing between wing veins 3 and 4. Scer\GAL4ptc-559.1-driven expression at 25oC results in the mispolarization of wing hairs between veins 3 and 4. Polarity swirls can be observed extending 4% of the distance between the posterior cross vein and the distal tip of the wing.
Scer\GAL4ptc-559.1, dcoRNAi.WIZ.UAS has abnormal cell polarity phenotype, enhanceable by CkIαRNAi.WIZ.UAS, Scer\GAL4ptc-559.1
Scer\GAL4ptc-559.1, dcoRNAi.WIZ.UAS has wing hair phenotype, enhanceable by CkIαRNAi.WIZ.UAS, Scer\GAL4ptc-559.1
Coexpression of CkIαdsRNA.WIZ.Scer\UAS enhances the Scer\GAL4ptc-559.1>dcodsRNA.WIZ.Scer\UAS wing phenotype at 25oC, so that the wing hair polarity swirls extend to 17% of the wing length from the posterior cross vein, rather than the 4% seen with solo expression of dcodsRNA.WIZ.Scer\UAS.
Transfected into flies to study the the phenotypic consequences of dsRNA interference (RNAi) of the dco gene.
