UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Scer\GAL4hh.PU-mediated expression of Wbp2GD7170 produces wings with scalloped edges that are reduced in size.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR results in grossly normal adult indirect flight muscles.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR results in trapezoid myofibrils in the adult indirect flight muscles.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR results in sarcomeres with broadened Z-lines in the adult indirect flight muscles.
Wbp2GD7170/Scer\GAL4αTub84B.PL is a suppressor of lethal | somatic clone phenotype of wtsx1
Wbp2GD7170/Scer\GAL4αTub84B.PL is a suppressor of neoplasia | somatic clone phenotype of wtsx1
When Wbp2GD7170 is expressed in wtsx1-deficient tissues using eyFlp/MARCM, a significant increase in survival is observed with the majority of flies now reaching late pupal stages and forming pharate adults, with a small number emerging as fully developed adults.
When Wbp2GD7170 is expressed in wtsx1-deficient tissues using eyFlp/MARCM, eye disc size is reduced, the amount of wtsx1 tissue relative to wild type tissue is decreased, and the differentiation of the developing eye is almost completely restored.
