G601S | fliI-PA
G601S
Site of nucleotide substitution in mutant inferred by FlyBase based on reported amino acid change.
The muscles of fliI3 mutants show severely disrupted Z-bands and peripheral fraying of the myofibrils.
Flight ability is restored by introduction of a construct carrying a wild type copy of fliI.
Homozygous viable. Homozygous germline clones display no maternal effect. Embryos derived from heterozygous mothers have CNS and PNS defects.
Homozygotes are flightless.
nonconditional
fliI3/fliI3 is a suppressor of dorsal longitudinal indirect flight muscle cell phenotype of CanB2EP774
fliI3; CanB2EP774 flies show a strong suppression of the indirect flight muscle collapse phenotype of CanB2EP774 single mutants. The majority of the DLM fail to collapse in the double mutants; all double mutants have at least 7 DLMs present, with some mutants exhibiting as many as 12 DLMs. However, these DLMs have smaller fibers than in wild type and often exhibit holes in the cytoplasm.
