Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Mutant embryos do not exhibit ventral midline crossovers of ipsilateral axon fascicles.

In response to nerve stimulation, ttv00681b mutants exhibit a significantly increased EJP compared with wild-type or heterozygous control larvae (20-25% increase). Spontaneous release events (mEJPs) are substantially reduced compared with heterozygous or wild-type controls, suggesting that loss of Heparan Sulfate biosynthesis affects the spontaneous vesicle release probability in the motoneuron. Post-synaptic mEJP amplitudes are significantly elevated in ttv00681b mutants relative to heterozygous or wild-type controls.

ttv00681b mutant larval exhibit locomotion defects, with a significantly reduced number of peristaltic contractions per minute.

ttv00681b mutant synapses are reduced in size and have significantly fewer boutons per unit muscle area compared with controls. ttv00681b motoneurons are bigger than normal, with a reduced number of 'buds'. ttv00681b synapses consist primarily of large boutons without any buds.

ttv00681b mutants exhibit an increase in activity-dependent endocytosis at the neuromuscular junction.

ttv00681b/ttv00681b die at the pupal stage, and animals depleted of maternal product are embryonic lethal.

ttv00681b mutants display ISNb bypass at a similar rate to wild-type embryos.

ttv00681b germ-line clone embryos do not display any naked cuticle formation, although the resulting denticle lawn has some diversity.

Mosaic flies with eyes homozygous for ttv00681b (clones generated using the "eyFLP" system) have small eyes.

Homozygous mutant larvae have abnormally large boutons at the terminal arbor synapses of the ISN.

Homozygous larvae have a marked reduction in heparan sulphate levels, to at least 10-fold less than wild type. Heterozygotes show a slight reduction in heparan sulphate levels. Chondroitin sulphate is unaffected by ttv00681b.

ttv00681b/Df(2R)trix embryos derived from homozygous female germline clones show absence of naked cuticle.

Clonal analysis in the wing reveals that ttv is required in the receiving cell for the movement of hh gene product from the sending to the receiving cell.

Germline clones produce eggs with patterning defects: unrescued embryos exhibit mirror image duplication of denticle belts, rescued embryos are wild type. Lethality occurs during the larval and pupal stages.

The commissural axon phenotype (failure to cross the midline) seen in embryos expressing Sema-1aScer\UAS.cYa under the control of Scer\GAL4P52 in a Sema-1ak13702 null background is not affected if the embryos are also heterozygous for ttv00681b.

The commissural axon phenotype (failure to cross the midline) seen in embryos expressing Sema-1aScer\UAS.cYa under the control of Scer\GAL4P52 in a Sema-1ak13702 null background is not affected if the embryos are also doubly heterozygous for Ext2326 and ttv00681b.

ttv00681b Ext21.8.1 double heterozygotes exhibit increased median survival time compared to controls when infected with group B Streptococcus (both wild-type and GAG-binding impaired mutants) and lower colony counts after infection.

ttv00681b Ext21.8.1 double heterozygotes exhibit reduced susceptibility to infection with the A909 strain of group B streptococcus.

ttv00681b, Sdc23 double mutant embryos show a 2-fold increase in ventral midline crossovers of axon fascicles compared to Sdc23 single mutants.

Expression of hhScer\UAS.cIa with Scer\GAL4en-e16E in ttv00681b germ-line clone embryos doesn't rescue naked cuticle formation, but does increase denticle diversity in the ventral cuticle: denticles corresponding to row 2,3,4, and 5 types are all present.

ttv00681b/+; trol13/trol13 larvae have increased numbers of S phase larval neuroblasts per brain lobe than wild-type. Of ttv00681b/+; trolp4/trolp4 larvae, 29% show increased numbers of S phase neuroblasts per brain lobe and while 5% show decreased numbers.

Xenogenetic Interactions
Statement
Reference

One copy of ttv00681b does not enhance the eye phenotype seen when Hsap\INSC96Y.Scer\UAS is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF.

Expression of Hsap\EXT1Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic\GFP driven by Scer\GAL4tub.PU partially suppresses pupal lethality in ttv00681b/ttv00681b flies, with a small percentage developing and surviving as adult flies.

Complementation and Rescue Data
Comments

Expression of ttvScer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC with Scer\GAL4G14 leads to rescue of ttv00681b mutant larvae to adulthood or late pupal stages. The number of boutons per unit muscle area and bouton budding are increased to normal levels.

Expression of ttvScer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC with Scer\GAL4elav-C155 improves viability of ttv00681b mutant larvae. The number of boutons per unit muscle area are increased to normal levels while bouton budding is elevated above wild-type levels.

Expression of ttvScer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC with Scer\GAL4da.G32 fails to improve viability of ttv00681b mutant larvae but rescues the abnormally elevated mEJP frequency (but not the EJP amplitude) found in these larvae. The number of boutons relative to muscle area is significantly reduced compared with ttv00681b mutants.

ttv00681b mutants exhibit morphological changes in somatic musculature, with mitochondrial distribution affected and altered Golgi organisation.

ttvScer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC with Scer\GAL4wg.PM completely rescues the cuticle phenotype of ttv00681b germ-line clone embryos.
