A 3kb fragment of the slmb cDNA, including the entire ORF and a large part of the 3' untranslated region is driven by a heat-shock promoter.
slmbL.hs; slmb8/slmb9H4-17 transheterozygous ovaries exhibit defects in stau localisation and in the organisation of epithelial follicle cells. Mutant egg chambers exhibit multiple cell layers.
When slmbL.hs is used to rescue slmb8 mutants to adulthood, mutant adults completely arrhythmic in constant dark (DD) conditions. Ventral lateral neurons are normal. The addition of slmbScer\UAS.cGa driven by Scer\GAL4P2.4.Pdf or Scer\GAL41118 rescues this phenotype.
slmb9H4-17/slmb8, slmbL.hs has egg chamber phenotype, suppressible | partially by aPKCk06403/aPKC[+]
Lowering aPKC levels, by a aPKCk06403 heterozygous background, partially suppresses the multilayering cell phenotype found in slmbL.hs;slmb8/slmb9H4-17 mutants.
