A genomic fragment (Pacman clone CH3222-77E05) containing the entire ATP7 gene, which has been mutated to contain the amino acid replacement S536G. This mutation is equivalent to the disease-associated S833G mutation in the orthologous human ATP7A gene (associated with occipital horn syndrome). A EGFP tag has been inserted at the C-terminal end of the ATP7 open reading frame.

S536G | ATP7-PB; S536G | ATP7-PC
S536G
Analogous S833G mutation in human ATP7A implicated in occipital horn syndrome; mutation carried on in vitro construct; site of nucleotide substitution in fly gene inferred by FlyBase curator based on reported amino acid change.
ATP7OHS.EGFP fails to rescue ATP7ΔP17
The lethality of ATP7ΔP17/Y hemizygous males cannot be rescued by combination with ATP7OHS.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP. Although combination with ATP7OHS.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP rescues the minimal post-hatching growth of ATP7ΔP17 mutant male larvae it has no appreciable effect on the mouthpart development and pigmentation defects.
