From kcook@XXXX Thu Oct 19 16:29:46 2000 To: flybase-updates@XXXX Subject: P{UAS-proPO} insertions From: Kevin Cook, Bloomington Stock Center Subject: P{UAS-proPO} insertions John True, Artyom Kopp and Sean Carroll will describe the construction of P{UAS-proPO} in detail in an upcoming publication. The following information accompanied P{UAS-proPO} stocks they donated to the Stock Center (9/00). This UAS construct in pUAST contains the cDNA for prophenoloxidase (proPO). Expression of proPO allows the production of melanin in the presence of dopamine and isopropanol. UAS-proPO is an alternative reporter construct to UAS-lacZ or UAS-GFP. There are three homozygous viable and fertile insertions, one for each major chromosomes: P{w+mC=UAS-proPO}X P{w+mC=UAS-proPO}2 P{w+mC=UAS-proPO}3 The insertions have not been mapped within each chromosome. __________________________________________________________ Kevin Cook, Ph.D. Bloomington Drosophila Stock Center Department of Biology http://flystocks.bio.indiana.edu Jordan Hall 142 Indiana University 812-855-5782 1001 E.
