  7. Taking Advantage of P-elements -Mutagenesis

  8. Taking Advantage of P-elements -Mutagenesis -Insertional mutations easy to clone.

  9. Taking Advantage of P-elements • -Mutagenesis Insertional mutations (easy to clone). • Imprecise excisions lead to frameshifts • and deletions.

  10. Taking Advantage of P-elements • Germline transformation

  11. Taking Advantage of P-elements • -Mutagenesis • Germline transformation • 1.Design transgene with inverted repeats.

  12. Taking Advantage of P-elements • -Mutagenesis • Germline transformation • 1.Design transgene with inverted repeats. • 2.Mix with transposase gene

  13. Taking Advantage of P-elements • -Mutagenesis • Germline transformation • 1.Design transgene with inverted repeats. • 2.Mix with transposase gene • 3.Inject into germline of embryo

  14. Taking Advantage of P-elements • Germline transformation • 1.Design transgene with inverted repeats. • 2.Mix with source of transposase • 3.Inject into germline of embryo • 4.Look for transformants in F1. YFG

  15. Taking Advantage of P-elements • -Mutagenesis • Germline transformation • Enhancer trapping Use regulatory information from nearby genes to drive expression of a transgene

  16. Mechanics of Enhancer Trapping: • Modified P-element contains: • Inverted repeats • Basic promoter sequences • Molecular marker gene (e.g. b-galactosidase) • Phenotypic marker (e.g. w+, ry+) • Mobilize using transposase • Confirm hopping in F1 (phenotype) • Look for interesting/desired expression pattern in F2 with lacZ staining

  17. Mechanics of Enhancer Trapping: • Modified P-element contains: • Inverted repeats • Basic promoter sequences • Molecular marker gene (e.g. b-galactosidase) • Phenotypic marker (e.g. w+, ry+) • Mobilize using transposase • Confirm hopping in F1 (phenotype) • Look for interesting/desired expression pattern in F2 with lacZ staining

  25. We want to look at enhancer traps that express in the ovaries.

  26. The Ovariole Germarium Germarium

  27. The Ovariole

  28. The Egg Chamber Nurse Cells Oocyte, follicle cells

  29. Staining Ovaries Schematic Summary • Dissect ovaries out of abdomen in NaPO4 buffer (movie!). • Devitallinize with heptane • Fix ovaries and wash • Add X-GAL, the substrate for b-galactosidase. • Wash when dark enough, and observe. • We are using enhancer traps that express in • Follicle cells • Nurse cells and oocyte
