Insertion 1.1kb from the mir-8 gene.
Expression of mir-8SC1 under the control of Scer\GAL4Bx-MS1096 results in a small wing phenotype.
Expression of mir-8SC1 under the control of Scer\GAL4vg.PU results in a nicked wing phenotype.
Scer\GAL4[h.PU]Expression of mir-8SC1 under the control of Scer\GAL4h.PU results in denticle belt defects in the embryo.
Expression of mir-8SC1 under the control of Scer\GAL4ey.PH results in eyes with a very reduced ventral region and a profoundly distorted dorsal/ventral boundary. Apoptosis is seen in the ventral region of the eye disc during the first larval instar stage and in the organiser region of the eye disc at the late third larval instar stage in these animals.
Scer\GAL4ey.PH, mir-8SC1 has visible phenotype, enhanceable by Ser[+]/SerRX106
Scer\GAL4ey.PH, mir-8SC1 has visible phenotype, suppressible by SerUAS.cSa/Scer\GAL4ey.PH
Scer\GAL4ey.PH, mir-8SC1 has visible phenotype, non-suppressible by GugUAS.cCa, Scer\GAL4ey.PH
mir-8SC1, Scer\GAL4ey.PH is a suppressor of neoplasia phenotype of DeltaUAS.cDa, Scer\GAL4ey.PH, lolaGS88A8, psqGS88A8
DeltaUAS.cDa, Scer\GAL4ey.PH, lolaGS88A8, mir-8SC1, psqGS88A8 has lethal | adult stage phenotype
Scer\GAL4ey.PH, mir-8SC1 has eye phenotype, enhanceable by Ser[+]/SerRX106
Scer\GAL4ey.PH, mir-8SC1 has eye ventral compartment phenotype, suppressible by SerUAS.cSa/Scer\GAL4ey.PH
Scer\GAL4ey.PH, mir-8SC1 has eye ventral compartment phenotype, non-suppressible by GugUAS.cCa, Scer\GAL4ey.PH
mir-8SC1, Scer\GAL4ey.PH is a suppressor of eye phenotype of DeltaUAS.cDa, Scer\GAL4ey.PH, lolaGS88A8, psqGS88A8
mir-8SC1, Scer\GAL4ey.PH is a suppressor of eye-antennal disc phenotype of DeltaUAS.cDa, Scer\GAL4ey.PH, lolaGS88A8, psqGS88A8
Flies expressing DlScer\UAS.cDa under the control of Scer\GAL4ey.PH and also carrying the P{GSV1}lolaGS88A8 insertion (which causes overexpression of psq and lola) show an eye tumour phenotype. In addition, distant metastasis in the thorax and abdomen is seen in 15% of cases. Co-expression of mir-8SC1 significantly reduces the primary eye tumour size, completely inhibits the incidence of metastases and results in a high incidence of adult lethality.
Co-expression of SerScer\UAS.cSa suppresses the loss of ventral eye tissue caused by expression of mir-8SC1 under the control of Scer\GAL4ey.PH.
Co-expression of GugScer\UAS.cCa does not suppress the loss of ventral eye tissue caused by expression of mir-8SC1 under the control of Scer\GAL4ey.PH.
SerRX106/+ markedly enhances the loss of eye tissue caused by expression of mir-8SC1 under the control of Scer\GAL4ey.PH.
