UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Knockdown of miple1, through expression of miple1JF02904 under the control of Scer\GAL4hs.2sev or Scer\GAL4GMR.PU induces an ommatidial rotation phenotype.
Knockdown of miple1, through expression of miple1JF02904 under the control of Scer\GAL4hs.2sev enhances the nmoScer\UAS.cUa-induced eye phenotype.
Expression of miple1Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PU results in a clear rough eye phenotype, in which tangential sections display rotation defects but mainly defects in photoreceptor recruitment. This phenotype is dosage-sensitive, as it is markedly suppressed by reducing miple1 expression through expression of miple1JF02904.
