Genomic fragment including the gl gene, from BAC clone CH321-23N19. A sfGFP-Tag:FLAG-Tag:CS(PSP)-Tag:CS(TEVp)-Tag:BLRP tag cassette has been introduced at the C-terminal end of the gl gene, such that protein isoforms A and C are tagged.
glGFP.FPTB partially rescues gl3/gl60j
glGFP.FPTB partially rescues gl60j
Expression of a single copy of glT:Avic\GFP-SF,T:Zzzz\FLAG,T:Zzzz\PSP.CS,T:Zzzz\TEV.CS,T:Zzzz\BLRP rescues the overall external morphology of the eye, but not the photoreceptor differentiation defects of adult gl3/gl60j and gl60j/gl60j mutants. In gl60j/gl60j mutants at 48 h APF, expression of a single copy of glT:Avic\GFP-SF,T:Zzzz\FLAG,T:Zzzz\PSP.CS,T:Zzzz\TEV.CS,T:Zzzz\BLRP significantly increases the number of ommatidia with the correct numbers of photoreceptor and cone cells.
Expression of two copies of glT:Avic\GFP-SF,T:Zzzz\FLAG,T:Zzzz\PSP.CS,T:Zzzz\TEV.CS,T:Zzzz\BLRP rescues the external morphology of the eye and photoreceptor differentiation defects of gl60j/gl60j mutants.
