mitochondrion & flight muscle
Raman spectroscopy reveals that, as flies age, up101 mutant muscles show signs of denaturation and overall decay in protein levels, which is not observed in wild-type controls.
Homozygous border cell clones show normal migration.
The thick and thin filaments of the indirect flight muscles of hemizygous animals are normal before 78 hours after puparium formation (APF), but are hypercontracted after 78 hours APF. 86% of hemizygous male adults have an upheld wing phenotype, 6% have their wings held down and 8% hold their wings in the normal position. 88% of the indirect flight muscle fibres of hemizygous male adults are hypercontracted, 12% show a partial hypercontraction phenotype.
Homozygotes show a 90% penetrant wings-up phenotype and a 100% penetrant indirect flight muscle (IFM) hypercontraction phenotype. Adult flies walk more slowly than wild type, this difference increasing with age.
Myofibril structure appears normal prior to the onset of flight-muscle contraction in homozygous pupae, however, after the fly ecloses sarcomeric structure rapidly degenerates.
Normal electroretinogram.
Homozygotes are flightless. Newly eclosed flies have a normal wing posture but develop an abnormal wing posture during the first 24 hours after eclosion.
up101 mutants keep their wings in an abnormal fixed up or down position and are unable to fly. Flies that show the "wings-down" position often also have an indented thorax. The wing position and flightlessness phenotypes are not temperature sensitive but the following phenotypes are more pronounced at 29oC than at 22oC: delayed development, a shortened pupal case and an indented thorax.
The up101 fibrillar flight muscle shows a complete lack of regularity in the arrangement of the fibrils and the striation pattern is hardly recognizable. The mitochondria of the distrophic muscles are swollen and have very few lamellae compared to wild-type muscle mitochondria.
Although allele previously reported as semidominant for flightlessness (Homyk et al., 1980), heterozygotes found to be able to hop and fly about as well as wild type (Fekete and Szidonya, 1979; Homyk and Emerson, 1988). homozygote with abnormal wing phenotype heterozygote wing phenotype normal homozygote unable to fly heterozygote able to fly

Flight ability is largely rescues in flies carrying one copy of Act88FD292V in a Act88F6/+ background if they are also hemizygous for up101.

up101 Mhc8 double heterozygotes are lethal. Female up101 Mhc5 double heterozygotes are completely flightless and have an abnormal wing posture. Male up101 heterozygotes also hemizygous for Mhc5 have reduced viability, the rare escapers have "gnarled" legs, walk poorly, and die within 2 days of eclosion. Double heterozygotes with Mhc6 are flightless. Double heterozygotes with wupAhdp-2 are flightless and have an abnormal wing posture. Double heterozygotes with wupAhdp-101 or fliH1 have greatly reduced flight ability. Most double heterozygotes with wupAhdp-4 or wupAhdp-5 and some with wupAhdp-3 have an abnormal wing posture. Heterozygotes also carrying rsd1 Act88F8 have an abnormal wing posture at 29oC.
