An Hsp70 promoter drives expression of Nf1 which contains a K1481A amino acid substitution relative to wild type.
Nf1K1481A.hs rescues Nf1E2
Nf1K1481A.hs rescues Nf1E2
Nf1K1481A.hs rescues the neuromuscular junction overgrowth phenotype seen in Nf1E2/Nf1E2 larvae. The reduced body size of Nf1E2/Nf1E2 pupae is also rescued.
The pupal size defect seen in Nf1E2 animals is rescued by expression of Nf1K1481A.hs using heat shock.
