Expression of Psn+14.UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Appl.G1a does not lead to axonal blockages in third instar larval segmental nerves compared to controls.
Expression of Psn+14.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4how-24B leads to an increased heart rate and irregular heartbeat rhythms, accompanied by cardiomyofibril defects and mitochondrial impairment.
Expression of Psn+14.Scer\UAS in the wing disc under the control of Scer\GAL4sd.PU results in loss of both wings. Compared with control flies Fig. (6C), wing discs of flies expressing Psn+14.Scer\UAS are thinner and reduced in size, especially in the dorsal/ventral compartment.
Compared with control flies, expression of Psn+14.Scer\UAS driven by Scer\GAL4ptc-559.1 results in severe loss of intervein cells, narrowing the intervein sector between L3 and L4 vein and forming extra vein cells to fill the intervein region. The intervein sector between L4 and L5 is enlarged and the posterior crossvein vein is extended.
Expression of Psn+14.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Bx-MS1096 does not result in a mutant phenotype in the wing.
Overexpression of two copies of Psn+14.Scer\UAS, driven by Scer\GAL4GMR.PF results in a small, rough eye phenotype. At eclosion, these flies possess significantly fewer and well as malformed interommatidial bristles compared with controls. Most parts of the eye lack the mechanosensory bristles normally surrounding each facet of the compound eye. Additionally, some bristles on the edge of the eye are abnormal in shape, characterized by bubble- and balloon-like lesions (as well as some double spindles), roughly 3-5υm in diameter.
Flies that express Psn+14.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI show normal survival rates and normal wing patterns.
Flies carrying one copy of Psn+14.Scer\UAS expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4hs.2sev or Scer\GAL4GMR.PF are morphologically
indistinguishable from wild type.
Flies carrying two copies of Psn+14.Scer\UAS expressed under the
control of Scer\GAL4hs.2sev have a rough eye phenotype, consisting
of irregular ommatidial packing, occasional ommatidial fusions and
missing bristles. Pigment cells are missing, while the photoreceptor
cell array is largely normal.
Flies carrying two copies of Psn+14.Scer\UAS expressed under the
control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF have a rough eye phenotype, characterised
by fusion of the lens material of adjacent ommatidia and loss of interommatidial
bristles, producing a glossy external eye surface. Most pigment cells
are missing. Almost all pupal ommatidia have the normal number of
cone cells, but have missing primary, secondary and tertiary pigment
cells.
The rough eye phenotype caused by expression of two copies of Psn+14.Scer\UAS
under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF is enhanced if the flies are
also carrying one copy of Psn-14.Scer\UAS, PsnM146V.Scer\UAS,
PsnN141I.Scer\UAS, PsnL235P.Scer\UAS, PsnE280A.Scer\UAS
or a third copy of Psn+14.Scer\UAS, is weakly enhanced if the flies
are also carrying one copy of PsnD-ALG3.Scer\UAS and is not affected
if the flies are also carrying one copy of Psn+14.loop.Scer\UAS
A significant increase in apoptosis in the eye disc compared to wild
type is seen in flies carrying two copies of Psn+14.Scer\UAS expressed
under the control of Scer\GAL4hs.2sev or Scer\GAL4GMR.PF.
The cell death induced by expression of Psn+14.Scer\UAS under the
control of Scer\GAL4hs.2sev is cell-autonomous. The assembly of
photoreceptor cell clusters is largely unperturbed, despite the increase
in cell death.
Flies carrying two copies of Psn+14.Scer\UAS expressed under the
control of Scer\GAL4dpp.blk1 show distal wing blade notching and
ectopic margin bristles.
Flies carrying two copies of Psn+14.Scer\UAS expressed under the
control of Scer\GAL4T80 have thickened wing veins and Dl-like
vein tip phenotypes.
Flies carrying two copies of Psn+14.Scer\UAS expressed under the
control of Scer\GAL4Hc have multiple campaniform sensilla along
wing veins L1 and L3 (in contrast to wild type where single campaniform
sensilla arise at defined positions along wing veins L1 and L3).
Flies carrying two copies of Psn+14.Scer\UAS expressed under the
control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E have missing crossveins and posterior
wing blade scalloping.
Flies carrying two copies of Psn+14.Scer\UAS expressed under the
control of Scer\GAL4c625 have ectopic macrochaetae on the notum
and thorax.
Flies carrying two copies of Psn+14.Scer\UAS expressed under the
control of Scer\GAL419A have ectopic macrochaetae on the notum
and missing microchaetae on the thorax.

Co-expression of UbqnScer\UAS.cLa with Psn+14.Scer\UAS in the developing eye under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF leads to an increase in eye size compared to Psn+14.Scer\UAS single mutants. In addition, the irregular ommatidial packing and fusion are reduced and the number of ommatidia returns nearly to normal. Most strikingly, the 'bubble-bristle' phenotype is completely rescued. However, tufting is observed in many facets of the eye, where duplicated or triplicated bristles are found in single interommatidial regions.
Silencing of Ubqn through co-expression of UbqndsRNA.Ex2.Scer\UAS with Psn+14.Scer\UAS in the developing eye under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF enhances the Psn+14.Scer\UAS-induced rough eye phenotype, leading to an even smaller and rougher eye than that observed with Psn+14.Scer\UAS expression alone. Double mutants exhibit a loss of eye pigmentation, suggesting the loss of pigment cells. RNAi silencing of Ubqn in addition to Psn+14.Scer\UAS overexpression results in a much more severe degenerative phenotype than Psn+14.Scer\UAS single mutants, as evidenced by numerous visible holes (2-5υm in diameter) on a small, rough eye. In addition, the ommatidia are very irregular and mostly fused with very few bristles.
Coexpression of ApplScer\UAS.cTa and Psn+14.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI does not cause lethality or affect wing patterning.
The rough eye phenotype caused by expression of two copies of Psn+14.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF is largely suppressed by thGMR.PH or BacA\p35GMR.PH and is strongly enhanced by one copy of Df(1)N-54l9. The level of apoptosis in eye discs of animals carrying two copies of Psn+14.Scer\UAS expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF is strongly reduced by the expression of Nact.sev. Enhances the eye phenotype of flies expressing rprGMR.PH when expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF.
The survival rates and wing patterns are not affected when flies coexpress Psn+14.Scer\UAS and Hsap\BACE1Scer\UAS.cGa under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI.
Flies that coexpress Hsap\APP695.Scer\UAS and Hsap\BACE1Scer\UAS.cGa under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI exhibit ectopic wing veins. This phenotype is enhanced in flies that express Psn+14.Scer\UAS in addition to Hsap\APP695.Scer\UAS and Hsap\BACE1Scer\UAS.cGa under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI.
Scer\GAL4elav-C155/Psn+14.UAS partially rescues PsnRNAi.UAS.2
The pupal lethality in males and the semi-lethality in females observed upon the expression of PsndsRNA.shRNA.Scer\UAS.2 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 are partially suppressed by the co-expression of Psn+14.Scer\UAS; while the rough eye and wrinkled wing phenotypes in adults females are partially rescued by the Psn+14.Scer\UAS expression, the rescued adult males now present both these phenotypes, as compared to controls.
Carried in a plasmid and transfected into S2 cells to study the effect of Psn protein on N protein processing.
