UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of a cDNA that encodes the myo-PA isoform. A E500K amino acid substitution has been introduced into the coding sequence; this change is equivalent to a p.E306K change in the orthologous human GDF11 gene, a variant identified in a patient presenting with complex complex phenotypes.

E500K | myo-PA; E500K | myo-PC; E500K | myo-PD
E500K
Analogous mutation in human GDF11 implicated in vertebral hypersegmentation and orofacial anomalies; mutation carried on in vitro construct; site of nucleotide substitution in fly gene inferred by FlyBase curator based on reported amino acid change.
Low level of expression of myoE500K.UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI (by rearing individuals at 18[o]C) leads to a rough eye.
