UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of the Hsap\STARD8 α isoform. The protein is tagged at the N-terminal end with Tag:MYC.
Expressing Hsap\STARD8UAS.α.Tag:MYC under the control of Scer\GAL4en.PU results in disrupted planar polarity in the embryonic epidermis, while expression under the control of Scer\GAL469B has no impact on salivary gland morphology in embryos.
Hsap\STARD8UAS.α.Tag:MYC/Scer\GAL4ct.CtB is a suppressor of abnormal size | late embryonic stage phenotype of cv-c7/cv-cM62
Hsap\STARD8UAS.α.Tag:MYC/Scer\GAL4ct.CtB is a suppressor of embryonic Malpighian tubule | late embryonic stage phenotype of cv-c7/cv-cM62
