UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of Hsap\SRSF3.
eye, with Scer\GAL4GMR.PF
Expression of Hsap\SRSF3Scer\UAS.cXa under the control of Scer\GAL4ptc-559.1 induces defects in sexual differentiation, where characteristics of both sexes are observed. Female flies show the appearance of male-like clasper bristles together with reduced number of vaginal bristles, which normally present as two rows flanking the female genitalia. Additional defects include abnormal development of the anus.
When Hsap\SRSF3Scer\UAS.cXa is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PU a male-like pigmentation pattern is seen in the posterior abdominal segment of females, which normally lacks such pigmentation. Female flies are also sterile.
Expression of Hsap\SRSF3Scer\UAS.cXa under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF induces a rough eye phenotype.
