AntpAAAA.UAS, Scer\GAL4ey.PH has wing | ectopic phenotype, suppressible by exdUAS.cGa, Scer\GAL4ey.PH
AntpAAAA.UAS, Nact.sev, Scer\GAL4ey.PH has antenna phenotype, suppressible by exdUAS.cGa, Scer\GAL4ey.PH
AntpAAAA.UAS, Nact.sev, Scer\GAL4ey.PH has leg | ectopic phenotype, suppressible by exdUAS.cGa, Scer\GAL4ey.PH
AntpAAAA.UAS, Nact.sev, Scer\GAL4ey.PH has wing | ectopic phenotype, suppressible by exdUAS.cGa, Scer\GAL4ey.PH
AntpAAAA.UAS/Scer\GAL4ey.PH is an enhancer of wing | ectopic phenotype of Nact.sev
AntpAAAA.UAS/Scer\GAL4ey.PH is an enhancer of eye phenotype of Nact.sev
Approximately 20% of Scer\GAL4ey.PH; Nact.sev; AntpAAAA.Scer\UAS flies exhibit antenna-to-leg transformation, while none of these flies show eye-to-wing transformation. Legs induced in this fashion exhibit second leg identity, growing tibial apical bristles.
Co-expression of exdScer\UAS.cGa in combination with AntpAAAA.Scer\UAS in the presence of Nact.sev all under the control of Scer\GAL4ey.PH results in approximately 2% of flies exhibiting wing structures in the eye region, compared to around 40% when exdScer\UAS.cGa is absent. Only 3% of these flies show antenna-to-leg transformation compared with 28% without exdScer\UAS.cGa. The presence of exdScer\UAS.cGa also inhibits antenna-to-leg transformation induced by AntpAAAA.Scer\UAS from 19% to 4.5% (in a Nact.sev and Scer\GAL4ey.PH background).
