In the absence of a GAL4 driver, the P{UAS-DTH2} construct shows significant rescue of flies that lack ple function in the central nervous system.
Overexpression of one copy of pleΔ2.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4ple.PF results in a wings 'held out' phenotype, where the wings are perpendicular to the body. Two copies of pleΔ2.Scer\UAS results in an exacerbated phenotype, with the wings rigidly held out and folded up in the middle.
Expression of pleΔ2.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4ple.5', Scer\GAL4elav-C155 or Scer\GAL4C1003 does not affect wild-type development.
Scer\GAL4ple.5'/ple2.UAS fails to rescue ple2
Expression of pleΔ2.Scer\UAS in DA cells under the control of Scer\GAL4ple.PF leads to full pupal rescue of ple2.
Neuronal expression of pleΔ2.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 or Scer\GAL4C1003 results in significant rescue of ple2 larvae.
Expression of pleΔ2.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4ple.5' does not rescue the embryonic lethality seen in ple2 mutants.
