UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of aop that has been mutated to increase the affinity of the aop SAM domain for self-association; the changes are R92K, A93E, G96R, and H97Y. Each mutation converts the wild-type aop residue to the equivalent residue found in the orthologous human ETV6 gene (HGNC:3495).
eye, with Scer\GAL4GMR.PU
Expression from two copies of aopSY5.UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PU induces a quasi-wild-type eye morphology and pigmentation; expression from one copy does not induce obvious defects.
