abdominal posterior fascicle & abdominal segment 1 & adult

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Late homozygous embryos have normal oenocyte clusters.

Ubxbxd-100/Df(3R)P2 flies show transformation of the posterior compartment of T3 (T3p) and the anterior compartment of A1 (A1a) into T2p and T3a. The homeotically transformed T3 segment can contain DVM-I, DLM and DFM muscles. Homeotic DVM-II and DVM-III muscles are not seen.

When heterozygous with UbxHC71-1.HC166D.Dup.Rec.ry+ the notum reduction phenotype is much more penetrant and severe. These animals also show an enlargement of the haltere, with anterior bristles, characteristic of a weak bx transformation.

Transformation of posterior portion of haltere towards wing, loss of A1 tergite and appearance of T3 legs on A1. Ventral setal belt of A1 is transformed toward that of T3 and ventral pits appear on abdominal segments A1 to A7, inclusive.

Ubxbxd-100/Ubxbxd-111 larvae have dorsal histoblast cells in T3. The anterior dorsal histoblast nests are sometimes inverted in flies transheterozygous or hemizygous for Ubxbxd-100. The ventral histoblast nest of A1 is shifted to a more ventral position in Ubxbxd-111/Ubxbxd-100 flies.

Hemizygotes display transformation of posterior haltere towards wing, loss of first abdominal tergite and appearance of one or two legs from the first abdominal segment. In late embryos and larvae ventral setal belt of the first abdominal segment is transformed toward that of the third thoracic segment. Ventral pits and Keilin organs appear on abdominal segments A1 to A7, inclusive.

Ubxbxd-100/Ubxbxd-125 flies have a number of abnormal transversal fascicles in the CNS; the posterior internal T3, posterior ventral T3, anterior dorsal A1, anterior internal A1, anterior ventral A1, posterior dorsal A1 and occasionally the posterior dorsal T3 fascicle are affected.

The frequency of variegated bithorax transformations seen in Df(3R)red-P52 heterozygotes is not increased in flies also containing a copy of Ubxbxd-100.

Heterozygotes with Ubxbx-4 exhibit weak bx-like effects.

The phenotype of a number of combinations of Ubx mutations has been investigated to determine the role of the bxd regulatory region in the modulation of Ubx expression.
