UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an internally deleted form of smo, which lacks sequences encoding amino acid residues 661-818. The protein is tagged at the C-terminal end with CFP.
decreased cell number, with Scer\GAL4C587
germarium, with Scer\GAL4C587
Expression of smoΔ661-818.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-CFP under the control of Scer\GAL4C587 results in germaria with fewer spectrosome-containing cells, as compared to controls.
