A genomic fragment (Pacman clone CH3222-77E05) containing the entire ATP7 gene, which has been mutated to contain the amino acid replacement K552R. This mutation is equivalent to the disease-associated K832R mutation in the orthologous human ATP7A gene (associated with susceptibility to Alzheimer's disease). A EGFP tag has been inserted at the C-terminal end of the ATP7 open reading frame.

K552R
Analogous K832R mutation in human ATP7B postulated to confer susceptibility to Alzheimer disease; mutation carried on in vitro construct; site of nucleotide substitution in fly gene inferred by FlyBase curator based on reported amino acid change.
ATP7ALZ.EGFP fails to rescue ATP7ΔP17
The lethality, minimal post-hatching larval growth as well as defective development and pigmentation of larval mouthparts characteristic for ATP7ΔP17/Y hemizygotes cannot be rescued by combination with ATP7ALZ.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP.
