FlyBase Allele Report: Dmel\fu[1]

70% of ovarioles in 4 day old fu¹ homozygous females are tumorous. Tumorous follicles in these ovarioles consist of tens to hundreds of germ-line cells with small, non-polyploid nuclei enveloped by a regular follicular epithelium. No increase in the rate of cell division of germline stem cells in the stem cell niche of the germarium is seen in these animals.

(Narbonne-Reveau et al., 2006)

Mutant ovaries contain some egg chambers with more than the normal number of 16 germline cells. Egg chambers that contain more than 16 germline cells show nurse cells with varying degrees of polyploidy within a given chamber, suggesting that cysts of different ages are developing together.

(Besse et al., 2002)

Mutants show fusion of wing veins L3 and L4 both proximally and distally, with intervein tissue remaining between the two veins in the medial part of the wing.

(Glise et al., 2002)

Hemizygous mutants raised at 18^oC exhibit cuticle defects in the medial region of all three leg types. The region of tarsal segment 5 flanked by longitudinal bristle rows 1 and 8 show an almost complete loss of microchaetae. The distal-most sensory bristle is lost in 16% of legs. Mutant flies possess a normal pair of tarsal claws, and no appreciable difference is seen in claw-to-claw distance.

(Inaki et al., 2002)

Growth in the region between wing veins 3 and 4 is inadequate in mutant flies, as can be seen by proximal fusion of veins 3 and 4.

(Aza-Blanc et al., 2000)

The phenotype of fu¹ in a wild-type background is a proximal and distal fusion of wing veins L3 and L4.

(Delattre et al., 1999)

The wings of hemizygotes show a distal and proximal fusion of wing veins L3 and L4. In fu¹ and kn^col-1 double heterozygotes, wing veins L3 and L4 are fused for most of their lengths. This is an enhancement of the phenotype of either mutation alone.

(Vervoort et al., 1999)

Wings of homozygous flies show thickening of vein 3 and lack vein 4 proximally. At the wing margin, the anterior double row bristles extend up to the fourth vein. Homozygous clones in the wing only generate a mutant phenotype if they are located in the region extending between veins 3 and 4; clones anterior to vein 3 or in the posterior compartment are wild-type. Clones that have a mutant phenotype have extra veins which often have campaniform sensillae characteristic of vein 3. These clones also have supernumerary sensillae and show a reduction of the anterior crossvein. Vein 4 is not affected. The clones do not cross the anterior/posterior compartment boundary.

(Alves et al., 1998)

Wing veins L3 and L4 are shifted closer together than normal in fu¹ flies.

(Biehs et al., 1998)

Wing vein L4 fails to form and vein L3 is thickened from the proximal base to midway between the anterior and posterior crossveins in the wings of hemizygous males. L3 curves towards the posterior compartment and makes contact with L4 at the wing margin. Hemizygous males also lack the anterior ocellus and bristles surrounding the ocelli.

(Epps et al., 1997)

Medial head structures are absent and replaced by frons material.

(Royet and Finkelstein, 1996)

When in combination with decreasing doses of Su(fu)⁺ the fu wing phenotype is suppressed. Increasing doses of Su(fu)⁺ enhances the wing phenotype.

(Therond et al., 1996)

Heterozygotes carrying one copy of Su(fu)⁺ display a partially suppressed wing phenotype. The presence of P{SUFU100} or P{SUFU200} in these individuals produces viable males with a fu¹ wing phenotype, the transposons fully compensate the decreased amount of Su(fu)⁺ product. With P{SUFU000} males are recovered with partially rescued fu wing phenotype, consistent with lack of Su(fu)⁺ function. Heterozygotes carrying two copies of Su(fu)⁺ display a fu wing phenotype. When the number of Su(fu)⁺ doses (via P{SUFU100}) in males is greater than two viability decreases, the decrease in viability is correlated with an enhancement of the fu wing phenotype. Decrease in viability is more pronounced when the transgene is provided by the mother. Viability of males is not affected by a decrease in Su(fu)⁺ activity.

(Pham et al., 1995)

fu¹/fu^v22 females are viable and have non-tumorous ovaries.

(Forbes et al., 1993)

Second leg bristles missing from tarsal row 4, 1 and interrow 3.5 and additional bristles in row 5 and 8 and interrow 2.5.

(Held, 1993)

Narrow wings with short connecting extra veins between LIII and LIV.

(Diaz-Benjumea and Garcia-Bellido, 1990)

Anomalies of adult cuticular structures and tumorous ovaries.

(Preat et al., 1990)

weak wing phenotype - veins L3 and L4 fused only proximally; intermediate viability phenotype - ratio of the number of fused flies to wild type in fu/+ X fu/Y is 0.5-0.75; weak fecundity phenotype - ratio of eggs laid by fu/fu versus fu/+ sisters is 0.5-1.0; intermediate maternal effect on segmentation.

(Busson et al., 1988)

Embryos derived from fu¹/fu^10C mothers have a weak phenotype. Additional rows of denticles with reversed polarity are seen behind the wild-type denticle belts. At least one third of homozygous fu¹ embryos derived from fu¹/fu^10C mothers do not develop; some are not fertilised and some stop cleavage after a few cell divisions. The remainder form a normal cellular blastoderm which may be reduced in size and contain very little yolk compared to wild-type. These embryos generally gastrulate normally. At approximately 5.5 hours of development, cells along the germ band appear loose and dead cells can be seen first in the cephalic mesoderm and then in the posterior mesodermal regions. Extensive cell death is seen in the mesoderm and ectoderm of 7-8 hour embryos, but not in the endodermal derivatives, which develop normally during this period. During germ band shortening, occasional pairwise fusion of segments can be seen, especially in the more posterior segments, and the ventral cord is often discontinuous. Development of the embryo from 9.5-20 hours is relatively normal. All segments of embryos derived from fu¹/fu^1A4 mothers are smaller than wild-type. Denticles are present over the entire ventral surface. The anterior rows of denticles are very distorted and the posterior compartments of the segments are virtually non-existent.

Genetic Interactions

Statement

Reference

In escaper flies that express Su(fu)^Scer\UAS.cDa, under the control of Scer\GAL4^da.G32, in a fu¹ background, the wing phenotype is enhanced compared to flies expressing the transgene in a wild-type background. fu¹, Su(fu)^Scer\UAS.cDa, Scer\GAL4^da.G32 wings show anterior duplications but also have a truncated vein 2, an enlargement of the domain between vein 2 and the margin, and veins 3 and 4 are completely fused with a large delta at the margin. These flies also show an enhancement of the leg phenotype seen in Su(fu)^Scer\UAS.cDa, Scer\GAL4^da.G32 flies.

(Dussillol-Godar et al., 2006)

bi^omb-1, puc^E69 double heterozygotes exhibit a strong wing notch and cell death increase phenotype. These phenotypes are suppressed by the addition of fu¹.

(Adachi-Yamada and O'Connor, 2002)

The phenotype of fu¹ in a Su(fu)^LP/Su(fu)^LP background is wild type. The phenotype of fu¹ in a Su(fu)^LP/+ background is characterised by an absence of the crossvein between wing veins L3 and L4.

(Delattre et al., 1999)

The fu¹ wing phenotype cannot be rescued by Scer\GAL4 driven expression of kn^Scer\UAS.cVa.

(Vervoort et al., 1999)

fu¹; ci^Ce-4/+ flies generally die as pupae, although some adults eclose. The latter have small wings, a reduced thorax and lack the scutellum. Expression of ci^{Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1} under the control of Scer\GAL4^ptc-559.1 partially rescues the fu¹ wing phenotype; the interval between veins 3 and 4 is restored, but the double row bristles still reach the fourth vein at the margin. fu¹ completely suppresses the wing phenotype caused by hh^Scer\UAS.cIa expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4^en-e16E. Suppresses the wing phenotype of hh^Mrt heterozygotes.

(Alves et al., 1998)

The fu¹ wing and ocellus phenotypes are dominantly enhanced by oro¹ and oro², with the addition of one copy of oro¹ or oro² increasing the deformity of the wings and reducing the size of the posterior ocelli.

Xenogenetic Interactions

Statement

Reference

The wing overgrowth phenotype caused by expression Xlae\Gli1^{Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC} under the control of Scer\GAL4^en-e16E is partially suppressed by fu¹, while the defect seen in the intervein region between veins 3 and 4 in fu¹ flies is partially rescued by the expression Xlae\Gli1^{Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC} under the control of Scer\GAL4^en-e16E.

(Aza-Blanc et al., 2000)

The addition of Dvir\Su(fu)^cDa to fu¹ flies that are either heterozygous for Su(fu)^LP or are Su(fu)⁺ results in an increase in fusions of wing veins L3 and L4.
