Down-regulation of LKR through expression of LKRIR.Scer\UAS during wing development using Scer\GAL4e22c results in significantly smaller wings when compared with control flies.
Down-regulation of LKR through expression of LKRIR.Scer\UAS in the salivary glands under the control of Scer\GAL4Sgs3.PD fails to generate any discernible alterations in tissue histolysis or metamorphosis.
LKRSDHRNAi.UAS has wing phenotype, suppressible by Scer\GAL4e22c/EcRA-ΔC655.F645A.UAS
Knock-down of LKR through LKRIR.Scer\UAS partially restores the pigmentation defect found in EcRA-ΔC655.F645A.Scer\UAS (Scer\GAL4GMR.PF) mutants and display a striking decrease of scarring compared to expression of EcRA-ΔC655.F645A.Scer\UAS (Scer\GAL4GMR.PF) alone.
Expression of EcRA-ΔC655.F645A.Scer\UAS restores the small wing phenotype caused by LKRIR.Scer\UAS.
