21kb genomic fragment that encompasses sens. The two Cys residues in the C2H2 structure of the third Zn-finger (out of four) have been mutated to Ala.
sens3CCg is unable to rescue the external sensory organs in adult sensE2 clones, which lose almost all mechanosensory bristles.
Expression of sens3CCg is unable to rescue the loss of post-orbital bristles in adult sensE2 clones.
Expression of sens3CCg does not rescue the lethality of sensE2 homozygous embryos. sens3CCg also does not rescue the PNS defects associated with sensE2.
