UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of ds lacking the cytoplasmic domain (exons 2 to 10, corresponding to nucleotides 796..6832 of GenBank:L08811.2, are present). The protein is tagged at the C-terminal end with GFP.
Expressing dsintra.Scer\UAS.T:SV5\V5 under the control of Scer\GAL4hh.PU) results in a small but significant decrease in the relative size of the posterior wing compartment, as compared to controls.
dsex.UAS.GFP fails to rescue ds38k/dsD36
Expression of dsex.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP driven by Scer\GAL4hh.PU does not rescue the wing defects observed in ds38k/ds36D transheterozygotes.
