UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Scer\GAL4hh.PU-mediated expression of Wbp2KK108304 produces wings with scalloped edges that are reduced in size.
Wbp2KK108304/Scer\GAL4αTub84B.PL is a suppressor of lethal | somatic clone phenotype of wtsx1
Wbp2KK108304/Scer\GAL4αTub84B.PL is a non-suppressor of abnormal size | somatic clone phenotype of Tsc1Q87X
Wbp2KK108304/Scer\GAL4αTub84B.PL is a suppressor of eye disc | somatic clone phenotype of wtsx1
Wbp2KK108304/Scer\GAL4αTub84B.PL is a suppressor of ommatidial precursor cluster | somatic clone phenotype of wtsx1
Wbp2KK108304/Scer\GAL4αTub84B.PL is a suppressor of eye disc morphogenetic furrow | somatic clone phenotype of wtsx1
Wbp2KK108304/Scer\GAL4αTub84B.PL is a non-suppressor of eye | somatic clone phenotype of Tsc1Q87X
When Wbp2KK108304 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 Wbp2KK108304 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.
Eyes remain overgrown when Wbp2KK108304 is expressed in Tsc1Q87X-deficient eyes using eyFlp/MARCM.
