UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of the 23 C-terminal residues of Hsap\ITM2B (this is a normal product of wild-type Hsap\ITM2B processing). The protein is tagged at the N-terminal with the Tag:SS(nec) signal peptide.
Expression of one or two copies of Hsap\ITM2B2-23.Scer\UAS.T:SS-nec in the eye, under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF does not result in any toxic effects at 25[o]C.
Expression of Hsap\ITM2B2-23.Scer\UAS.T:SS-nec under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF results in a few scattered ommatidia of different sizes, with a lower number of interommatidial bristles than in wild-type.
Pan-neural expression of Hsap\APP1-42.Scer\UAS.T:SS-nec under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PU does not lead to any climbing defects.
Pan-neuronal expression of Hsap\ITM2B2-23.Scer\UAS.T:SS-nec under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PU results in a mild increase in vacuolization in the CNS, quantified as the loss of tissue area in cortical neurons and the neuropil.
