UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of a 500bp inverted repeat.
Expression of IKKεNIG.2615R under the control of Scer\GAL4sca.PU results in abnormal bristle morphology, wherein bristles are short, branched and have a characteristic swollen region.
Bristles are short and branched in flies expressing ik2NIG.2615R under the control of Scer\GAL4ap-md544. Ultrastructurally, the actin bundles of the bristles are disorganised and some run through the cytoplasm. Actin bundle area and size are both significantly reduced compared to wild type, whereas the number of actin bundles is significantly increased. The number of microtubules is not significantly altered, and most retain the orientation parallel to the bristles' long axis. There is a significant increase in vesicle density and diameter within the bristles. Multivesicular bodies are rarely seen and there is a modest increase in mitochondria compared to wild type.
IKKεNIG.2615R, Scer\GAL4sca.PU has visible | adult stage phenotype, non-enhanceable by spn-F1/spn-F1
IKKεNIG.2615R, Scer\GAL4sca.PU has visible | adult stage phenotype, non-suppressible by spn-F1/spn-F1
Scer\GAL4sca.PU/IKKεNIG.2615R is a non-enhancer of visible | adult stage phenotype of spn-F1
Scer\GAL4sca.PU/IKKεNIG.2615R is a non-suppressor of visible | adult stage phenotype of spn-F1
IKKεNIG.2615R, Scer\GAL4sca.PU has mesothoracic bristle phenotype, non-enhanceable by spn-F1/spn-F1
IKKεNIG.2615R, Scer\GAL4sca.PU has mesothoracic bristle phenotype, non-suppressible by spn-F1/spn-F1
Scer\GAL4sca.PU/IKKεNIG.2615R is a non-enhancer of mesothoracic bristle phenotype of spn-F1
Scer\GAL4sca.PU/IKKεNIG.2615R is a non-suppressor of mesothoracic bristle phenotype of spn-F1
spn-F1/spn-F1 does not suppress or enhance the abnormal bristle morphology seen in flies expressing IKKεNIG.2615R under the control of Scer\GAL4sca.PU, and vice versa.
Co-expression of IKKεNIG.2615R rescues the bristle loss seen in flies expressing IKKεScer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC under the control of Scer\GAL4sca.PU.
