Detailed Description

Follicle stem cell clones homozygous for smo2 are present at a much lower frequency than control clones at 7 days (34% vs 73%) and 14 days (8% vs 57%) after clone induction.

Wings developing from smo2 mutant cells are extremely reduced in size and have lost most pattern elements.

Embryos lacking maternal smo function (derived from females carrying smo2 germline clones and fertilised with a wild-type sperm) develop normally into fertile adults. Somatic gonadal precursor cells form normally in these embryos. Germ cells show no apparent cell cycle defects in these embryos. Defects are seen at stages 12-13, when many of the germ cells fail to associate with the somatic gonadal precursor cells and instead scatter randomly in the mesoderm. At stage 15, these migration defects seem to be largely rectified and the number of germ cells in the primitive gonad approaches that of wild type. Embryos lacking both maternal and zygotic smo function (derived from females carrying smo2 germline clones and fertilised with a smo2 sperm) show severe segmentation defects, having a lawn of denticles phenotype.

Homozygous clones in the female germ cells do not show significant developmental defects during oogenesis.

Mutant embryos derived from homozygous germline clones lack Bolwig's organs without loss of the optic lobe.

Clones of cells mutant for smo redirect the A/P affinity boundary in the developing wing disc. They form a straight boundary when juxtaposed with sister smo+ or smo+/smo- A cells, but a wiggly boundary with neighboring smo-/smo+ cells in the P compartment. Similar results are seen in the adult wing. smo- cells autonomously form anterior wing margin structures if they are derived from A cells, even when they are located in the domain normally occupied by P-compartment cells.

Clones in the developing eye retard the progression of the morphogenetic furrow. Photoreceptor differentiation is retarded, but not prevented, concomitantly with furrow progression. Clones in the eye that lack both Pka-C1 and smo behave like loss of function Pka-C1 clones. Clones show ectopic photoreceptor differentiation and eventually merge with the endogenous field of differentiation, show no retardation of the furrow, pass through a furrow fate and induce non-autonomous ectopic photoreceptor differentiation outside the clone.

Mutant embryos show a cold sensitive segment polarity phenotype. At 25oC segmental defects are mild whereas at 18oC embryos variably show a classic segment polarity cuticle phenotype.

At 25oC naked cuticle is deleted sporadically between adjacent denticle belts. At 18oC naked cuticle is replaced by denticle belts with reversed polarity.

Neural differentiation is blocked in smo2 ; MadB1 double mutant clones in the eye disc. Aberrant nuclear migration is seen in double mutant clones spanning the furrow.

The phenotype of smo2 embryos derived from homozygous germline clones is not rescued by expression of hhScer\UAS.cKa under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32.
