A genomic fragment (Pacman clone CH3222-77E05) containing the entire ATP7 gene, which has been mutated to contain the amino acid replacement P1122S. This mutation is equivalent to the disease-associated P1386S mutation in the orthologous human ATP7A gene (associated with X-linked distal motor neuropathy). A EGFP tag has been inserted at the C-terminal end of the ATP7 open reading frame.
C11863291T
P1122S | ATP7-PB; P1122S | ATP7-PC
P1122S
Analogous P1386S mutation in human ATP7A implicated in spinal muscular atrophy, distal, X-linked 3; mutation carried on in vitro construct; site of nucleotide substitution in fly gene inferred by FlyBase curator based on reported amino acid change.
ATP7DMN.EGFP partially rescues ATP7ΔP17
The lethality of ATP7ΔP17/Y hemizygous males can be weakly rescued by combination with ATP7DMN.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP as some flies survive to adulthood although when isolated as larvae and reared under density-controlled conditions without the presence of wild-type siblings no adults emerge. Combination with ATP7DMN.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP also restores the minimal post-hatching growth as well as mouthpart development and pigmentation defects of ATP7ΔP17 mutant male larvae.
