In all rescue experiments of the orc6 deletion mutant we used transgenes expressing fused GFP-Orc6 proteins. Six different constructs were designed. GFP was attached to the N-terminus of either wild-type Orc6 or one of the mutants. All constructs contained two active promoters-native orc6 promoter and GAL4 inducible UAS promoter. (+), the expression of transgene restores viability of orc6-deleted flies; (−), no rescue. Percentage of rescued flies was calculated based on expected segregation of phenotypes. Total progeny analyzed is shown in parentheses.
