Ubiquitously expresses two sgRNAs, each of which targets Tbc1d8-9.
Nephrocyte-specific CRISPR/Cas9-mediated mutagenesis of Tbc1d8-9 (by expressing Spyo\Cas9UAS.P2 under the control of Scer\GAL4Ugt36A1.PK, together with Tbc1d8-92xsgRNA.U6) leads to impaired nephrocyte function (decreased uptake of FITC-albumin), associated with slit diagram localization defects with the formation of additional, ectopic slit diaphragms deeper within the membrane invaginations.
