UAS drives expression of E(spl)m8-HLH in which a STOP codon is substituted in place of the W176 of the WRPW motif, thus removing this motif and abolishing gro protein binding. In addition, S159 is changed to D to mimic phosphorylation.
Expression of E(spl)m8-HLHSD.Δgro.Scer\UAS with Scer\GAL4sca-537.4 has no effect on the eye or interommatidial bristles, but results in significantly more flies with ectopic scutellar macrochaetes than controls.
Expression of E(spl)m8-HLHSD.Δgro.Scer\UAS with Scer\GAL4455.2 results in ectopic scutellar macrochaetes.
Expression of E(spl)m8-HLHSD.Δgro.Scer\UAS with Scer\GAL4h-H10 is ineffective.
E(spl)m8-HLHSD.Δgro.UAS, Scer\GAL4455.2 has scutellar bristle | ectopic phenotype, enhanceable by Df(3R)Espl22/+
E(spl)m8-HLHSD.Δgro.UAS/Scer\GAL4GMR.PU is a non-enhancer of eye phenotype of Nspl-1
E(spl)m8-HLHSD.Δgro.UAS/Scer\GAL4h-H10 is a suppressor of eye phenotype of Nspl-1
Scer\GAL4sca-109-68/E(spl)m8-HLHSD.Δgro.UAS is a suppressor of eye phenotype of Nspl-1
E(spl)m8-HLHSD.Δgro.UAS/Scer\GAL4h-H10 is a suppressor of scutellar bristle | ectopic phenotype of Nspl-1
E(spl)m8-HLHSD.Δgro.UAS/Scer\GAL4h-H10 is a suppressor of scutellar bristle phenotype of Nspl-1
E(spl)m8-HLHSD.Δgro.UAS/Scer\GAL4GMR.PU is a non-suppressor of eye phenotype of Nspl-1
Df(3R)Espl22/+ modestly enhances the ectopic scutellar bristle phenotype of E(spl)m8-HLHSD.Δgro.Scer\UAS Scer\GAL4455.2.
Expression of E(spl)m8-HLHSD.Δgro.Scer\UAS mediated by Scer\GAL4h-H10 suppresses the Nspl-1/Y rough and reduced eye and appears to restore ommatidial phasing.
Expression of E(spl)m8-HLHSD.Δgro.Scer\UAS mediated by Scer\GAL4sca-109-68 suppresses the Nspl-1/Y rough and reduced eye.
Expression of E(spl)m8-HLHSD.Δgro.Scer\UAS mediated by Scer\GAL4h-H10 potently suppresses the Nspl-1/Y scutellar bristle phenotypes.
Co-expression of E(spl)m8-HLHSD.Δgro.Scer\UAS fully attenuates the potent loss of scutellar bristles seen in E(spl)m8-HLHScer\UAS.cUa Scer\GAL4455.2 flies.
