g2, g50e and g53d, we(g) double mutant flies have at least a 50% reduction of brown (ommochrome) pigments deposited in the
eye compared to g2, g50e and g53d single mutants. g2,
g53d, g1, and g3, we(g), double mutants have a reduction
in red (pteridine) pigment to a lesser extent, while we(g), g50e
mutants have at least a 50% reduction of this pigment. However, we(g),
gP flies have similar levels of red pigment in the eye to gP
single mutants.
Df(1)N-8/we(g), g2 female mutant flies have over 50% less
red pigment in the eye (giving flies pale-yellow eyes) than g2
single mutants, while Df(1)N-8/+ g2 flies have wild-type levels
of red pigment in the eye. Df(1)w-rJ1/we(g), g2 mutant flies
have over 50% less red pigment and Df(1)w-rJ3/we(g), g2 have
about 80% less red pigment than the eyes of g2 single mutants.
These deficiency double mutants show a markedly greater reduction
in eye pigment compared to we(g), g2 mutants. Conversely,
Tp(1;3)N264-58 g2/we(g) g2 mutant flies have comparable
levels of red pigment in the eye to g2 single mutants.
All of the following w alleles when heterozygous with we(g) enhance
the eye colour defective phenotype of g2, homozygous mutants, leading
to a greater reduction of red pigment within the eye: w1118, w1,
wa, wbf, wBwx, wch, wco, we, wi, wsat
and wt. These w alleles also enhance the g50e homozygous
mutant phenotype, except for wsat/we(g) mutants where levels
of red eye pigment do not differ from g50e single mutants. The
alleles w1118, w1, wa, wbf, wBwx, wco and wsat
when heterozygous with we(g) and in combination with homozygous
g53d lead to a greater reduction of red pigment within the eye
compared to g53d single mutants; other alleles that affect g2
mutants not mentioned here have not been tested with g53d.
Expression of w+t11.7 in the anterior portion of the eye of we(g),
g2 mutant flies results in normal pigmentation of this region.
Transfection of w+mC is capable of increasing the amount of pigment
in the eyes of we(g), g2/Y mutant flies, depending on the level
of its expression. Strong expression of w+mC is capable of restoring
pigment to g2/Y single mutant levels, thus rescuing the we(g)
effect.
Flies with the g alleles g2, gP, g3 and g1 all have
reduced levels of red pigment in the eye when hemizygous with Df(1)HA92
and heterozygous for we(g)/+ compared to flies that are homozygous
for the same g alleles and also for we(g).
Flies homozygous for the g alleles g2, gP, g3 and g1
that are also Df(1)N-8/+ have reduced levels of red pigment in the
eye compared to flies that are homozygous double mutants for the same
g alleles and we(g). This reduction is more pronounced in flies
that have a Df(1)N-8/we(g) genotype instead of Df(1)N-8/+.
In contrast to g53d homozygotes, gP/g53d transheterozygotes
do interact with we(g), as gP/g53d, we(g) and gP/g53d,
we(g)/+ flies have a reduced amount of red pigment in the eye compared
to gP, we(g) double mutant flies.
Female flies that are homozygous for caunspecified, carunspecified,
cmunspecified, dorunspecified, ltunspecified, ltdunspecified,
punspecified, prunspecified, rbunspecified or ryunspecified
have reduced levels of pigment in the eye when in combination with
we(g)/Df(1)N-8 compared to in wild-type flies. Eye pigment levels
of the following homozygous mutants are not significantly affected
in we(g)/Df(1)N-8 mutants compared to wild-type flies: bounspecified,
bwunspecified, cdunspecified, cnunspecified, dkeunspecified,
Meunspecified, Mot-Kunspecified, mwunspecified, pnunspecified,
rasunspecified, seunspecified, stunspecified, vunspecified
and wounspecified. we(g)/Df(1)N-8; malunspecified and
we(g)/Df(1)N-8; melunspecified female flies have higher levels
of pigment in the eye than malunspecified and melunspecified
single mutants.
