UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of EMC1, mutated to carry a P509H amino acid replacement and tagged at the C-terminal end with three copies of Tag:HA. The P509H change is equivalent to a P584H change in the orthologous human EMC1 gene, a variant identified in patients with severe developmental delay. The open reading frame is flanked by a pair of incompatible FRT sites (FRT5 and FRT2), which allows for future in vivo exchange of either the promoter or tag sequence.

Analogous mutation in human EMC1 implicated in cerebellar atrophy, visual impairment, and psychomotor retardation (FBhh0001476); mutation carried on in vitro construct.
Pro509 in flies may functionally replace Pro584 in human EMC1 (FBrf0254608); see ClinVar 521479.
