UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of the fusion protein associated with the mouse 'Wld[S]' mutation. The fusion protein is composed of the N-terminal 70 amino acids of Mmus\Ube4b, a unique 18 amino acid domain generated during the fusion event and the full-length sequence of Mmus\Nmnat1. The fusion protein is tagged at the C-terminal end with 6xTag:MYC.
Scer\GAL4ey-OK107/Mmus\WldS.UAS.Tag:MYC is a suppressor of abnormal neuroanatomy | somatic clone | progressive phenotype of bskflp147E
Scer\GAL4ey-OK107/Mmus\WldS.UAS.Tag:MYC is a suppressor of alpha/beta Kenyon cell phenotype of bskflp147E
Scer\GAL4ey-OK107/Mmus\WldS.UAS.Tag:MYC is a suppressor of gamma Kenyon cell phenotype of bskflp147E
Expression of Mmus\wldS.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC under the control of Scer\GAL4ey-OK107 suppresses the axon degeneration seen in bskflp147E mutant mushroom body neuron clones at both 5 and 28 days post-eclosion. The 'dying back' phenotype is also suppressed; clones generated in single γ cells show that axons are able to reach the wild type termination point. The number of enlarged and supernumerary axonal protrusions seen on bskflp147E mutant axon shafts is also significantly reduced.
