Eb104524/Eb12 escaper females are fertile.

Eb104524/Eb104524 embryonic neurons in primary culture show a significant shortening of axons compared to controls and often have patches of non-coalescent, criss-crossed microtubules.

Eb104524 homozygous larvae show no defects in motility and touch response, show normal imaginal discs and internal organs and have a similar mitotic index and and frequency of anaphase to wild-type larvae. Larvae are able to pupate and develop into pharate adults but fail to eclose. Pharate adults do not show morphological defects but show body coordination defects when dissected from the pupal case. Rare homozygotes are able to eclose and show severe problems in coordinating body movements; their legs shake and often legs of both sides cross over each other, they are barely able to walk and are unable to right themselves after falling upside down.

All Eb15/Eb104524 viable escapers hold their wings in an abnormal 'downward' position and are flightless. Eb12/Eb104524 flies also show this phenotype but at a lower frequency, with some of flies of this genotype showing held-up or parted wings. All Eb12/Eb104524 flies are flightless, whether or not they hold their wings in a normal position.

Although Eb12/Eb104524 flies walk in a coordinated way, once turned upside-down, they fail to recover the correct body position as promptly as wild-type flies; mutant flies often take more than two minutes to right themselves while recovery in wild type is less than a second.

The sound-evoked compound potentials from the Johnston's organ of Eb104524 flies exposed to near-field sound pulse trains are reduced compared to wild-type controls (237μV vs 615μV). This electrophysiological phenotype is not relative to the amount of uncoordination the mutants show.

Eb104524 chordotonal organs of the first abdominal segment display all the basic inner structures with normal morphology and show normal cell division and cell fate determination. However, the alignment and structural integrity of neuronal sensory processes is disrupted in these organs.

Eb142S11/Eb104524 adult escapers do not have any gross abnormalities but generally die within a few days of eclosing, and female escapers are sterile.

Expression of Eb1Scer\UAS.cKa.T:Avic\GFP under the control of Scer\GAL4unspecified significantly rescues the axon extension and microtubule organisation defects of Eb104524/Eb104524 embryonic neurons in primary culture.

Comments
Comments

After six generations of outcrossing the lethality continued to segragate with the P{PZ} insertion.

Transcription of the Eb1 gene is disrupted in Eb104524 mutants.

Lethality is reverted at a high frequency by remobilization of the P-element.
