Genomic fragment (coordinates X:9245044..9248369 , release 6 genome) encompassing the amx transcription unit in which the amx coding region has been replaced by the Hsap\TM2D3 variant 1 coding sequence (derived from cDNA clone NM_078474), allowing expression of the human gene under the control of amx regulatory sequences. In addition, the Hsap\TM2D3 coding sequence has been mutated to carry the P155L variant that is associated with increased risk and earlier onset of late-onset Alzheimer's disease.
The P155L missense mutation in the human TM2D3 gene has been associated with increased risk of Alzheimer's disease in Icelandic population. Inserting Hsap\TM2D3P155L.amx in a amx-deficient flies, amx being the fly homolog of TM2D3, fails to rescue the neurogenic maternal-effect phenotype in their progeny, demonstrating the loss of function effect of the P155L mutation.
Hsap\TM2D3P155L.amx is a non-suppressor of female sterile phenotype of amx1/Df(1)Exel9049
Hsap\TM2D3P155L.amx is a non-suppressor of larval neuron | increased number | maternal effect | embryonic stage phenotype of amx1/Df(1)Exel9049
The sterility of amx1/Df(1)Exel9049 mutant females and the neurogenic phenotype seen in the progeny (the embryos contain dramatically increased number of neurons and fail to hatch) cannot be rescued by combination with Hsap\TM2D3P155L.amx.
