Description

UASt regulates expression of a full length cDNA of the Hsap\MECP2 e2 isoform (1461 nt, 486 aa) containing a R294X mutation that truncates the protein within the transcriptional repression domain but maintains the nuclear localization signal.

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Expression of Hsap\MECP2R294X.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4futsch-C380 causes apoptosis of the motoneurons 5 (MN5) in the pupal ventral nerve cord, both MN5 somata are completely gone by 1 day post-eclosion. Expression in adults under the same driver but with Scer\GAL80ChAT.3.3P results in flightlessness.

Expression via Scer\GAL4GMR.PU does not cause an obvious disruption of the external eye structure, though it does cause loss of pigmentation. Expression at higher temperatures is lethal.

Reference

Expression of Hsap\MECP2R294X.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4futsch-C380 (and Scer\GAL80ChAT.3.3P for adult flight assays) leads to apoptosis of motoneurons 5 in the pupal ventral nerve cord and inability of the adult flies to initiate flight; both these phenotypes can be partially rescued by co-expression of slp1Scer\UAS.cUa.

Complementation and Rescue Data
Comments

The apoptosis of motoneurons MN5 in the pupal nerve cord observed upon expression of Hsap\MECP2R294X.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4futsch-C380 is not suppressed by co-expression of Hsap\MECP2Scer\UAS.FL.
