Mobilisation of P{EP}CG5780EP2315 (inserted into the 5'UTR of CG5780) results in deletion of the 5' end of the PICK1 open reading frame, including the two first exons.
Adult female and male PICK1ΔEP-147 homozygotes or PICK1ΔEP-147/PICK1ΔEP-197 transheterozygotes exhibit significant weight loss compared to controls.
PICK1[+]/PICK1ΔEP-147 is a suppressor of eye photoreceptor cell phenotype of Hsap\ATXN3tr.Q78.UAS.Tag:HA, Scer\GAL4ninaE.PT
PICK1ΔEP-197/PICK1ΔEP-147 is rescued by Scer\GAL4dimm-929/PICK1UAS.A.Tag:HA
PICK1ΔEP-197/PICK1ΔEP-147 is rescued by Scer\GAL4Ilp2.PR/PICK1UAS.A.Tag:HA
Scer\GAL4dimm-929-mediated expression of PICK1Scer\UAS.A.T:Ivir\HA1 fully rescues the weight loss seen in PICK1ΔEP-147/PICK1ΔEP-197 adult females and males.
Scer\GAL4Ilp2.PR-mediated expression of PICK1Scer\UAS.A.T:Ivir\HA1 rescues the weight loss seen in PICK1ΔEP-147/PICK1ΔEP-197 adult females but not males.
In addition to the PICK1 gene, PICK1ΔEP-147 covers most of CG5781.
