UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Knockdown of Act5C through expression of Act5CGD1351 under the control of Scer\GAL4dpp.blk1 does not affect the number of campaniform sensilla.
Depending on the insertion line used, expression under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR can result in early larval lethality or embryonic lethality.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR results in grossly normal larval body wall muscles.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR results in sarcomeres with discontinuous Z-lines in the larval body wall muscles.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 results in loss of bristles on the notum in 10-20% of the Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 expression domain.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 results in bristle morphology defects on the notum in 10-20% of the Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 expression domain.
Act5CGD1351/Scer\GAL4dpp.blk1 is an enhancer of wing sensillum phenotype of sc10-1
Act5CGD1351/Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 is an enhancer of macrochaeta phenotype of sc10-1
Knockdown of Act5C through expression of Act5CGD1351 under the control of Scer\GAL4dpp.blk1 results in a dramatic increase in the percentage of sc10-1 flies missing campaniform sensilla. Likewise, knockdown of Act5CGD1351 by Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 in the sc10-1/+ fly notum markedly increased the percentage of flies missing anterior dorso-central mechano-sensory macrochaetae from 30% to 87%, and missing posterior dorso-central macrochaetae from 0% to 24%.
