Description

P{EP} insertion 334bp upstream of the esg translation initiation codon. The P{EP} element is oriented such that expression from the element results in overexpression of esg.

P{EP} insertion at +673bp of the transcription unit.

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Expression of esgEP2009 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu in a wild-type background raises the mean seizure threshold to 55.5 +/- 13.2 V compared to 36.7 +/- 6.5 V for control flies (for a high frequency stimulus of 0.5msec pulses delivered at 200Hz for 300 msec).

Expression of esgEP2009 under the control of Scer\GAL4ey.PH results in eyes that are strongly reduced in size. Flies expressing esgEP2009 under the control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E have scalloped wings.

Expression of esgEP2009 under the control of Scer\GAL4sca-537.4 results in complete loss of all macrochaetae and microchaetae on the notum.

Expression of esgEP2009 under the control of Scer\GAL4bi-omb-Gal4 causes a reduction in the size of the wing.

esgEP2009 is an enhancer of eye phenotype of Dcp-1UAS.cKa, Scer\GAL4GMR.PF

Statement
Reference

esgEP2009 enhances the rough eye phenotype seen when Dcp-1Scer\UAS.cKa (insertion line P{UAS-Dcp-1.K}19-2) is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF.

The bang sensitivity of bss1/+ flies (more than 50% of flies are bang sensitive) is substantially suppressed by the expression of esgEP2009 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu. However, the 100% bang sensitivity of bss1/bss1 flies is not suppressed by the expression of esgEP2009 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu. The suppression of the bang sensitivity of eas2 flies that is seen when esgEP2009 is overexpressed depends on the overexpression occurring in the larval stage. RU486 has been used to drive expression of esgEP2009 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.Switch.PO at different time points in development (the Scer\GAL4elav.Switch.PO driver only produces active protein in the presence of RU486) in eas2 animals and the bang sensitivity of the resulting adults has been assayed; a reduced level of bang sensitivity (compared to eas2 single mutant flies) is seen if RU486 induction occurs during embryonic and larval stages or during larval and adult stages, whereas little reduction in bang sensitivity is seen if RU486 induction occurs only in the adult stage, and only a slight reduction in bang sensitivity is seen if RU486 induction occurs only in the embryonic stage. The seizure sensitivity of eas2 flies is partially suppressed by expression of esgEP2009 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu; the mean seizure threshold is raised to 15.5 +/- 6.8 V (for a high frequency stimulus of 0.5msec pulses delivered at 200Hz for 300 msec).

Co-expression of CycEScer\UAS.cLa does not suppress the small eye phenotype caused by expression of esgEP2009 under the control of Scer\GAL4ey.PH.
