G206S | Smn-PA; G206S | Smn-PB
G206S
Analogous mutation in human SMN1 implicated in spinal muscular atrophy, type III; mutation carried on in vitro construct; site of nucleotide substitution in fly gene inferred by FlyBase curator based on reported amino acid change.
Larvae expressing SmnG206S.T:Zzzz\FLAG in the SmnX7 null mutant background die earlier than the null mutants alone, suggesting a dominant negative effect.
SmnTag:FLAG/SmnG206S.Tag:FLAG partially rescues SmnX7
SmnG206S.Tag:FLAG fails to rescue SmnX7
SmnG206S.Tag:FLAG fails to rescue SmnX7
SmnY203C.Tag:FLAG/SmnG206S.Tag:FLAG fails to rescue SmnX7
SmnG206S.Tag:FLAG fails to rescue SmnX7
SmnG206S.Tag:FLAG fails to rescue both the larval lethality and the larval locomotor defects of SmnX7 homozygotes.
Expression of one copy of SmnG206S.T:Zzzz\FLAG fails to rescue the larval lethality seen in homozygous SmnX7 mutants.
Co-expression of one copy each of SmnT:Zzzz\FLAG and SmnG206S.T:Zzzz\FLAG partially rescues the larval lethality seen in homozygous SmnX7 mutants. The phenotype is intermediate between expressing one copy each of either transgene, indicating that SmnG206S.T:Zzzz\FLAG is having a dominant effect.
Co-expression of one copy each of SmnG210V.T:Zzzz\FLAG and SmnG206S.T:Zzzz\FLAG partially rescues the larval lethality seen in homozygous SmnX7 mutants, resulting in a less severe phenotype than when SmnG206S.T:Zzzz\FLAG is expressed alone. A few adults eclose but most animals reach the pupal stage.
Co-expression of one copy each of SmnY203C.T:Zzzz\FLAG and SmnG206S.T:Zzzz\FLAG fails to rescue the larval lethality seen in homozygous SmnX7 mutants, as is seen when either transgene is expressed alone.
