Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

eyg22-2 in combination with the allele eygM3-12 causes a range of phenotypes in pharate adults: 20% are headless, 35% are eyeless, and 45% have eyes smaller than 400 ommatidia. Furthermore, 100% have a grooved thorax phenotype. The following transgenes cause a dominant enhancement of the grooved thorax and reduced eye phenotype of eyg22-2/eygM3-12 mutants, when expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4eyg-22-2 : eygΔPD.Scer\UAS, eygΔRED.Scer\UAS, eygΔL.ΔRED.Scer\UAS, eygC.Scer\UAS, and eygΔPAI.ΔL.Scer\UAS. eygScer\UAS.T:Hsim\VP16 and eygmPD.Scer\UAS expression enhances the grooved thorax phenotype. Expression of eygmPD.mHD.Scer\UAS or eygScer\UAS.T:Hsim\VP16 causes a headless phenotype with 100% penetrance.

Statement
Reference

Expression of ey::eygGGEGGG.Scer\UAS rescues the eyg22-2/eygM3-12 mutant phenotype. However, expression of either ey::eygGGGGEG.Scer\UAS or ey::eygGGEGEG.Scer\UAS, fails to rescue the mutant phenotype.

Expression of Hsap\PAX65a.Scer\UAS, under the control of Scer\GAL4eyg-22-2, enhances the eyg22-2/eygM3-12 mutant eye and thorax phenotypes.

Comments

Expression of eygmPD.Scer\UAS, under the control of Scer\GAL4eyg-22-2, partially rescues the eye phenotype of eyg22-2/eygM3-12 mutants, but has a dominant-negative effect on the thorax phenotype. Expression of eygΔHD.Scer\UAS in a eyg22-2/eygM3-12 background leads to partial rescue of the mutant eye and mutant thorax phenotypes. Expression of the eygmHD.Scer\UAS transgene in a eyg22-2/eygM3-12 background leads to the full rescue of eyes in 21% of mutants. The mutant thorax is fully rescued, although there are still many extra macrochaetes at lateral regions. Coexpression of the transgenes eygmHD.Scer\UAS and eygmPD.Scer\UAS in a eyg22-2/eygM3-12 background fully rescues the mutant eye and thorax phenotypes.
