Y225S | Orc6-PA
Y225S
Analogous Y232S mutation in human ORC6 implicated in Meier-Gorlin syndrome 3; mutation carried on in vitro construct; site of nucleotide substitution in fly gene inferred by FlyBase curator based on reported amino acid change.
Orc6Y225S.Orc6.UAS.GFP/Scer\GAL4Tub.PU partially rescues Orc635
Orc6Y225S.Orc6.UAS.GFP fails to rescue Orc635
Expression of Orc6Y225S.Orc6.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP under its native promoter fails to rescue the third instar lethality in Orc635 mutant larvae but expression under the control of Scer\GAL4tub.PU can partially restore the viability of the Orc635 mutants. The rescued adults, however, display several phenotypic defects compared to controls including upheld wing posture, missing posterior scutellar bristles, rough spots in the eye and irregular hair pattern on the abdomen.
Larvae expressing Orc6Y225S.Orc6.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP under the control of its native promoter in Orc635 mutant background display decreased levels of DNA replication in both neural ganglia and testes compared to controls.
Expression of Orc6Y225S.Orc6.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP from its native promoter does not rescue the aberrant karyotype characteristic for Orc635 and the chromosomes in larval brain cells display a number of defects including loss of arms, fragmentation, polyploidy, aberrant condensation or misalignment during the cell cycle. This abnormal karyotype is however rescued when Orc6Y225S.Orc6.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP is expressed under the control of the Scer\GAL4tub.PU driver.
