Comments concerning this variant

This variant has an in-frame deletion of exons 2-7 from the extracellular domain and is able to transmit growth signaling independent of ligand binding (Rodriguez et al., 2023; pubmed:37446288).

Co-expressing DrakUAS.cCa enhances the larval brain glia hyperplasia induced by the expression of Hsap\EGFRΔ.UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4repo.PU; glia cells lose the normal stellate shape and form abnormal cellular aggregates that disrupt normal larval brain architecture, indicative of neoplastic transformation; there is also a decrease in the number of neurons.

Expression of Hsap\EGFRΔ.Scer\UAS and Pi3K92EScer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC,T:Hsap\CAAX under the control of Scer\GAL4repo.PU induces glial overgrowth in third instar larval brains.

Expression of RIOK1GD8541 suppresses the brain enlargement and glial overgrowth seen when Hsap\EGFRΔ.Scer\UAS is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4repo.PU. There are few excess glia and remaining glial cells show abnormal development. The resulting brains are smaller in size than controls, due to a reduction in both glial and neuronal cells.

Expression of RIOK1GD8541 suppresses the brain enlargement and glial overgrowth seen when Hsap\EGFRΔ.Scer\UAS and Pi3K92EScer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC,T:Hsap\CAAX are co-expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4repo.PU.

Expression of RIOK1KK100810 suppresses the brain enlargement and glial overgrowth seen when Hsap\EGFRΔ.Scer\UAS is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4repo.PU. There are few excess glia and remaining glial cells show abnormal development.

Expression of RIOK2GD7407 suppresses the brain enlargement and glial overgrowth seen when Hsap\EGFRΔ.Scer\UAS is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4repo.PU. There are few excess glia and remaining glial cells show abnormal development. The resulting brains are smaller in size than controls, due to a reduction in both glial and neuronal cells.

Expression of RIOK2GD7407 suppresses the brain enlargement and glial overgrowth seen when Hsap\EGFRΔ.Scer\UAS and Pi3K92EScer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC,T:Hsap\CAAX are co-expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4repo.PU.

Expression of RIOK2KK101850 suppresses the brain enlargement and glial overgrowth seen when Hsap\EGFRΔ.Scer\UAS is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4repo.PU. There are few excess glia and remaining glial cells show abnormal development.
