Expression of MoeK.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF results in R cell axon targeting defects in third instar larvae. Abnormal R8 growth cones are seen and the lamina plexus is disrupted.
Scer\GAL4elav.PU/MoeK.UAS.Tag:MYC partially rescues MoeG0415
MoeK.UAS.Tag:MYC/Scer\GAL4sca-109-68 partially rescues MoeG0323
Expression of MoeK.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PU rescues the R2-R5 axon targeting defects seen in MoeG0415 hemizygotes in 55% of cases.
Expression of MoeK.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC under the control of Scer\GAL4sca-109-68 rescues the R2-R5 axon targeting defects seen in MoeG0323 hemizygotes in 38% of cases.
