UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of a mutated form of Prp8 that carries a R2370K amino acid substitution. This change is equivalent to a R2310K 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.
