UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of the Hsap\APOL1 cDNA (GenBank ID BC112943.1), mutated to carry two amino acid substitutions (p.S342G and p.I384M); this 'G1' version of Hsap\APOL1 is a risk variant for kidney disease. The coding sequence is tagged with Tag:HA.
APOL1 double variant associated with increased risk of progressive kidney disease in sub-Saharan African ancestry populations.
The expression of Hsap\APOL1G1.UAS.Tag:HA under the control of Scer\GAL4Ugt36A1.PU leads to third instar larval garland cell nephrocytes exhibiting increased function and increased apoptosis; adult garland nephrocytes are decreased in number. Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4Hand.PU induces ER swelling in third instar larval garland cell nephrocytes.
The expression of Hsap\APOL1G1.UAS.Tag:HA under the control of Scer\GAL4ptc.PU induces cell death in the third instar larval wing disc.
Hsap\APOL1G1.UAS.Tag:HA, Scer\GAL4ptc.PU has increased cell death | third instar larval stage phenotype, suppressible by Xbp1HMS03015, Scer\GAL4ptc.PU
Hsap\APOL1G1.UAS.Tag:HA, Scer\GAL4ptc.PU has wing disc | third instar larval stage phenotype, suppressible by Xbp1HMS03015, Scer\GAL4ptc.PU
