UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of a mutated form of ppk26 which carries the 'Degenerin' mutation (amino acid replacement A547V) in the peri-TM2 region of the protein. The protein is tagged at the C-terminal end with mCherry.
abnormal neuroanatomy | second instar larval stage, with Scer\GAL4ppk.PG
abnormal neuroanatomy | third instar larval stage, with Scer\GAL4ppk.PG
larval multidendritic class IV neuron | second instar larval stage, with Scer\GAL4ppk.PG
larval multidendritic class IV neuron | third instar larval stage, with Scer\GAL4ppk.PG
Overexpression of ppk26Deg.Scer\UAS.T:Disc\RFP-mCherry driven by Scer\GAL4ppk.PG leads to a reduction in dendritic arbors of class IV dendritic arborizing neurons in second or third instar larvae.
