UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of a mutated form of Prp8 that carries a S2178F amino acid substitution. This change is equivalent to a S2118F change in the orthologous human PRPF8 gene, a pathogenic variant associated with retinitis pigmentosa. The coding sequence is tagged at the N-terminal end with Tag:FLAG.

Analogous S2118F mutation in human PRPF8 implicated in Retinitis pigmentosa 13; mutation carried on in vitro construct.
