Genomic fragment (fosmid P52GD2) containing the complete crb transcription unit plus approximately 7kb upstream and 5kb downstream sequence.
crb+tfos, crbGX24w-, yrt75 has embryo | dorsal closure stage phenotype
PakUAS.Tag:Myr(Src64B), Scer\GAL4332.3, crb+tfos, crbGX24w-/crb11A22 has embryo | dorsal closure stage phenotype
Expression of flwScer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4332.3 does not lead to any obvious phenotype in embryos expressing crb+tfos in a crbGX24w-/crb11A22 background.
SCARΔ37/+ or Arp3EP3640/+ does not lead to any dorsal closure defects in embryos expressing crb+tfos in a crbGX24w-/crb11A22 background.
Expression of PakScer\UAS.T:Myr-Src64B under the control of Scer\GAL4332.3 in embryos expressing crb+tfos in a crbGX24w-/crb11A22 background leads to complete embryonic lethality with most embryos exhibiting dorsal closure defects ranging in severity from open cuticle and dorsal holes, to closed cuticles but failure to hatch.
Embryos expressing crb+tfos in a crbGX24w-/crbGX24w-, yrt75/yrt75 background exhibit defects in dorsal closure mainly after germ band retraction, although overall amnioserosa integrity is preserved during dorsal closure and most of the zippering is completed, leaving a hole only at the posterior canthus.
