Description

UASp regulates expression of the Hsap\CRYAB cDNA bearing a R120G mutation, an autosomal dominant mutation that manifests adult-onset cataracts, skeletal muscle weakness and heart failure (cardiomyopathy).

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Expressing Hsap\CRYABR120G.UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4HCH.Hand leads to cardiac defects, as it induces significant increases in arrhythmicity index, and diastolic and systolic diameters, and a significant decrease in fractional shortening, as compared to controls.

Expressing Hsap\CRYABR120G.UAS under the control of either Scer\GAL4ey.PH or Scer\GAL4GMR.PF results in variably rough and small eyes; these defects are more consistent and severe in the Scer\GAL4GMR.PF background. Heat-shock in the Scer\GAL4GMR.PF background leads to an enhanced eye phenotype, or even to lethality.
