UAS regulates expression of eya carrying the K699Q missense mutation (that ablates in vitro phosphatase activity, retains productive interactions with so, and exhibits reduced activity in both ectopic eye and genetic rescue assays) with the Tag:Myr(v-Src) myristoylation sequence inserted at the N-terminus.
Scer\GAL4dpp.blk1-mediated expression of eyaK699Q.Scer\UAS.T:Uuuu\Myr4 does not induce ectopic eyes.
Co-expression of eyaWT.Scer\UAS.T:SV40\nls2 and eyaK699Q.Scer\UAS.T:Uuuu\Myr4 via Scer\GAL4dpp.blk1 results in a limited increase (~10%) in ectopic eye induction relative to expression of eyaWT.Scer\UAS.T:SV40\nls2 alone.
Scer\GAL4GMR.PU eyaK699Q.Scer\UAS.T:Uuuu\Myr4 eye/brain complexes show an average of 11.8 overshooting axon bundles per brain, compared to 8.4 in controls.
eyaWT.UAS.Tag:NLS(SV40-largeT), Scer\GAL4dpp.blk1, eyaK699Q.UAS.Tag:Myr(v-Src) partially rescues eya2
Scer\GAL4dpp.blk1-mediated expression of eyaK699Q.Scer\UAS.T:Uuuu\Myr4 does not rescue the eyeless phenotype of eya2 animals.
Co-expression of eyaWT.Scer\UAS.T:SV40\nls2 and eyaK699Q.Scer\UAS.T:Uuuu\Myr4 via Scer\GAL4dpp.blk1 results in a greater rescue of the eyeless phenotype of eya2 animals relative to expression of eyaWT.Scer\UAS.T:SV40\nls2 alone, though not as great a rescue as when eyaWT.Scer\UAS.T:Uuuu\Myr4 is co-expressed.
