UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of a mutant form of Hsap\KCNC3 carrying amino acid substitution R420H and optimized translation initiation site for expression in flies..
Expression of Hsap\KCNC3R420H.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4da.PU results in abnormal wing vein development, including the loss of the anterior crossvein, thickening of longitudinal veins L2 and L3, a distorted posterior crossvein, and partial loss of L5.
Expression of Scer\GAL4GMR.PU>Hsap\KCNC3R420H.Scer\UAS results in small perturbations of the eye, including multiple fused ommatidia and disruption of the normal lattice organization. Aberrant differentiation of photoreceptor cells and abnormal polarity are observed in the mutant eyes.
