Tubulin promoter drive expression of of a Hsap\STMN1 cDNA (transcript variant 1 - Accession NM_203401.1).
Hsap\STMN1tub.PD is an enhancer of paralytic | third instar larval stage | posterior | recessive phenotype of staiB200
Hsap\STMN1tub.PD is a suppressor of abnormal neuroanatomy | third instar larval stage phenotype of staiB200
Hsap\STMN1tub.PD is a suppressor of larval segmental nerve | third instar larval stage phenotype of staiB200
Expression of Hsap\STMN1tub.PD partially suppresses the posterior paralysis "tail-flip" phenotype seen in staiB200 mutant larvae. 40% of flies exhibit a phenotype compared to 77% in the staiB200 mutants alone. The severity is also reduced; only 9% exhibit a robust phenotype (as opposed to mild) compared to 70%.
Expression of Hsap\STMN1tub.PD rescues the altered morphology of individual axons within segmental nerve bundles of staiB200 mutant larvae.
