UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of a DsRed(Unk) fluorescent protein. A genomic fragment containing the mir-957 pre-miRNA hairpin has been inserted into the DsRed(Unk) 3'UTR.
Expression of mir-957Scer\UAS.T:Disc\RFP under the control of Scer\GAL4Bx-MS1096 results in lethality in males. Adults have a spoon shaped wing which is slightly folded. The end of most veins are missing.
Expression of mir-957Scer\UAS.T:Disc\RFP under the control of Scer\GAL4sd-SG29.1 results in curved wings. Most of veins L2 and L5 are missing.
Expression of mir-957Scer\UAS.T:Disc\RFP under the control of Scer\GAL4ptc-559.1 results in missing crossveins.
Expression of mir-957Scer\UAS.T:Disc\RFP under the control of Scer\GAL4sd-SG29.1 results in loss of wing veins.
