Description

UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of a Dl-Ser fusion protein which comprises the extracellular and transmembrane domains of Dl and the intracellular domain of Ser. Nucleotides encoding Met619 and Lys620 (at the cytoplasmic face of the transmembrane domain) of the Dl protein are replaced with an XbaI restriction site (which encodes Ser and Arg). The initiating ATG codon of Dl is replaced with a BspH1 restriction site which results in replacing His2 with Asn. The endogenous Dl 5'UTR is replaced with a HindIII-NcoI fragment of the Xenopus β-globin gene leader. The 3'UTR of the Ser cDNA is truncated to 17bp 3' of the stop codon and SV40 polyadenylation sequences are present.

macrochaeta & thorax | supernumerary, with Scer\GAL4sca-537.4

macrochaeta & thorax | supernumerary | somatic clone | cell autonomous, with Scer\GAL4Ubx.PdC

ommatidium & eye disc, with Scer\GAL4h-H10

photoreceptor cell R8 & eye disc, with Scer\GAL4h-H10

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Expression of Dl::SerDl-E.Ser-I.Scer\UAS (line A10, P{UAS-Dl::Ser.L}A10) under the control of Scer\GAL4sca-537.4 results in a mild neurogenic phenotype: a few extra macrochaetae form on the thorax.

Expression of Dl::SerDl-E.Ser-I.Scer\UAS (line A10, P{UAS-Dl::Ser.L}A10) under the control of Scer\GAL4h-H10 is weakly neurogenic in the eye imaginal disc - multiple R8 cells are seen in 4% of ommatidia - and a disorganised pattern of ommatidia associated with the acceleration of the morphogenetic furrow.

Clonal expression of Dl::SerDl-E.Ser-I.Scer\UAS (line A10, P{UAS-Dl::Ser.L}A10) in thoracic cells (using Scer\GAL4Ubx.PdC) leads to extra thoracic bristle differentiation in a cell autonomous manner.

Expression of Dl::SerDl-E.Ser-I.Scer\UAS (line A10, P{UAS-Dl::Ser.L}A10) in differentiating R8 cells (using Scer\GAL4sca-109-68) leads to a rough eye of similar size to wild type.

Expression of Dl::SerDl-E.Ser-I.Scer\UAS (line A10, P{UAS-Dl::Ser.L}A10) in R8 cells (using Scer\GAL4sca-109-68) does not rescue the adult eye or eye imaginal disc defects of hemizygous Nspl-1 males.
