Atf3 protein, as assayed by use of a GFP-tagged transgenic construct Atf3CH321-51N24.T:AvicGFP-EGFP, is localized to the nucleus in tissues central to metabolic and immune homeostasis, including the gut, salivary glands, fat body, ring gland, and CNS.
Atf3CH321-51N24.EGFP rescues Atf376
One copy of Atf3CH321-51N24.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP completely rescues the developmental delay and adult eclosion of Atf376/Y males and permits the survival of homozygous Atf376 females.
