UASt regulates expression of a wild type (G0) Hsap\APOL1 cDNA that encodes the common 398 a.a. isoform with GenBank ID AAI43040. The coding sequence is tagged at the C-terminal end with Tag:FLAG.
viable, with Scer\GAL4Hml.PU
wing, with Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR
Expressing Hsap\APOL1G0.UAS.cFa under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR leads to most individuals showing a 'held-out wing' phenotype and to disorganized and reduced indirect flight muscle fibers; Scer\GAL4Bx-MS1096-driven expression induces mild wing vein defects; Scer\GAL4vg.PU-driven expression does not induce wing morphology defects.
Adult pericardial nephrocytes expressing Hsap\APOL1G0.UAS.cFa under the control of Scer\GAL4Ugt36A1.PK start by exhibiting higher uptake function at day 1, there is a decrease in function at days 8 and 15, as compared to controls; despite being of similar sizes to controls at day 1, these nephrocytes progressively increase in size (at days 8 and 15), as compared to controls.
