F72S | Dsor1-PA; F69S | Dsor1-PB
Analogous mutation in human MEK1 implicated in RAS-related diseases; mutation carried on in vitro construct; site of nucleotide substitution in fly gene inferred by FlyBase curator based on reported amino acid change. F53 in human MEK1 aligns with F72 in Drosophila ortholog Dsor1.
Expression of Dsor1F53S.Scer\UAS.P\T under the combined control of Scer\GAL4nos.UTR.T:Hsim\VP16, Scer\GAL4nos.PG and Scer\GAL4otu.T:Hsim\VP16 leads to high embryonic lethality and morphological defects: their cuticles have less than eight segments and display loss of anterior head structures.
