UASp regulatory sequences drive expression of a mir-279 "sponge" sequence, which consists of three copies of the mir-279 binding site inserted into 3'UTR sequence downstream of the DsRed(Unk) coding region.
Expression of two copies of mir-279sponge.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Disc\RFP under the control of Scer\GAL4mir-279.PC decreases mir-279 function and results in ectopic invasive cells in approximately 30% of mutant egg chambers. The number of border cells within the main cluster remains normal, indicating the abnormal invasion of follicle cells.
Expression of two copies of Disc\RFPmir-279-bs.Scer\UAS.P\T under the control of Scer\GAL4mir-279.PC decreases mir-279 function and results in ectopic invasive cells in approximately 30% of mutant egg chambers. The number of border cells within the main cluster remains normal, indicating the abnormal invasion of follicle cells.
The presence of ectopic cells or clusters of cells in egg chambers expressing Disc\RFPmir-279-bs.Scer\UAS.P\T under the control of Scer\GAL4slbo.2.6 is ameliorated by the presence of mir-279+t3.
