UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of a mutated form of dlp in which all of the GAG attachment sites have been mutated and also the GPI anchor has been replaced by the T:Rnor\CD2 transmembrane protein. A EGFP tag has been inserted at a unique NdeI site.
The ability of dlp-HS.Scer\UAS expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4prd.RG1 to rescue naked cuticle patterning in dlpA187 embryos derived from dlpA187 female germline clones is not affected if the embryos are also mutant for dally80.
Expression of dlp-HS.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4prd.RG1 effectively rescues naked cuticle patterning cell-autonomously in dlpA187 embryos derived from dlpA187 female germline clones.
