A genomic fragment (Pacman clone CH3222-77E05) containing the entire ATP7 gene, which has been mutated to contain the amino acid replacement G1036E. This mutation is equivalent to the disease-associated G1300E mutation in the orthologous human ATP7A gene (associated with classical Menkes disease). A EGFP tag has been inserted at the C-terminal end of the ATP7 open reading frame.
GC11863034AA
G1036E | ATP7-PB; G1036E | ATP7-PC
G1036E
Analogous G1300E mutation in human ATP7A implicated in Menkes disease; mutation carried on in vitro construct; site of nucleotide substitution in fly gene inferred by FlyBase curator based on reported amino acid change.
ATP7MNK.EGFP fails to rescue ATP7ΔP17
The lethality, minimal post-hatching larval growth as well as defective development and pigmentation of larval mouthparts characteristic for ATP7ΔP17/Y hemizygotes cannot be rescued by combination with ATP7MNK.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP.
