UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of a Hsap\TBX2 cDNA in which the coding sequence has been mutated to carry the R20Q amino acid replacement (a potentially deleterious mutation identified as a candidate for the phenotype in individuals affected by a multisystem malformation disorder). The endogenous stop codon is present, thus even though three copies of the Tag:HA tag are present downstream of the ORF, they are not expected to form part of the translated protein.
visible | adult stage, with Scer\GAL4ey.PH
Expressing Hsap\TBX2R20Q.UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4ey.PH results in slightly smaller eyes in a small proportion of adults. Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4ninaE.PT causes reduced synaptic transmission, together with phototransduction defects and abnormal prolonged depolarizing afterpotential (PDA) in eye photoreceptor cells.
Hsap\TBX2R20Q.UAS/Scer\GAL4bi-MI08152-TG4.0 is a non-suppressor of lethal - all die before end of pupal stage | recessive phenotype of biMI08152-TG4.0
