Description

Genomic fragment containing usp with a mutation that disrupts an amino acid (Q288A) that normally extends a side chain into the ligand binding pocket, and a L366A mutation at a highly conserved residue, resulting in a usp protein with reduced affinity for the methyl farnesoate ligand.

      Reference

      uspQ288A.L366A usp2 animals progress normally through to apolysis of the the epidermis away from the cuticle. Subsequently, uspQ288A.L366A usp2 animals do not show most of the morphogenetic events of puparium formation: anterior spiracles do not evert to their full extension or proper angle, the cuticle does not become barrel-shaped and instead remains soft and untanned. These mutants then die within a day or two.

      uspQ288A.L366A partially rescues usp2

      (Jones et al., 2013)
      Comments

      uspQ288A.L366A rescues usp2 first instar larval lethality to the prepupal stage: larvae progress normally through to apolysis of the the epidermis away from the cuticle. Subsequently, uspQ288A.L366A usp2 animals do not show most of the morphogenetic events of puparium formation and die within a day or two.
