Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

enaGC5 homozygous embryos show holes between contralateral cardioblasts in the heart region of the dorsal vessel, as well as severe cardioblast morphology defects in the aorta and heart (misshapen, appearing stretched and pinched, rather than cuboidal); cardioblasts show diminished adhesion domains; the heart lumen appears larger.

The ISNb motor axon shows a bypass phenotype (the ISNb axons fail to enter the ventral longitudinal muscle field and instead bypass along the ISN root) in 99% of hemisegments in enaGC1/enaGC5 embryos.

75% of zygotic enaGC5/enaGC1 mutant embryos have a wild-type cuticle, while 21% show puckering along the dorsal midline.

enaGC5 animals exhibit a weak ISNb bypass phenotype, seen in about 7% of hemisegments.

enaGC1/enaGC5 mutants exhibit approximately 2 defects in longitudinal axon guidance per animal. An average of 18% of segments show defects. No embryos exhibit defects in pCC/MP1.

enaGC5/enaGC8 and enaGC5/enaGC1 embryos show modest levels of midline crossing errors by axons in the central nervous system.

86% of ISNb axons show a bypass phenotype in enaGC1/enaGC5 embryos. This phenotype is partially suppressed by enaScer\UAS.cCa expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4neu. 29% of ISNb axons show a bypass phenotype in enaGC5/enaGC8 embryos. A small number of RP neurons follow an aberrant path within the central nervous system.

Lethal in combination with enaGC1.

Heterozygotes with enaGC8 have diffuse and loosely bundled longitudinal and commissural axon tracts and some also exhibit axon misguiding. Some homozygous embryos exhibit thinning of longitudinal connectives, increased number of axons exciting the CNS from the longitudinal axons or failure of commissural axons to separate into anterior and posterior axon bundles. The overall organisation of the PNS is disrupted, spacing and organisation of the neurons is irregular and some clusters of neurons are mislocalised.

Genetic Interactions
Statement
Reference

The penetrance of the ISNb stall phenotype seen in embryos lacking both maternal and zygotic Dab function (derived from Dab1/Dab2 females and having Dab1 as the paternally derived copy of Dab) is decreased by enaGC5/+ to 26%.

The severe ISNb bypass phenotype seen in enaGC1/enaGC5 embryos is not suppressed by Dab1/+.

The increased bouton number per muscle area that is seen at the neuromuscular junction of Abl1/Abl4 larvae is not suppressed by enaGC5/+.

The increased bouton number per muscle area that is seen at the neuromuscular junction of Abl1/Abl4 larvae is significantly suppressed by AbiKO/+. This suppression further increased if the flies are also carrying enaGC5/+.

An enaGC5 heterozygous background increases the proportion of DAAMEx68 mutant embryos that exhibit CNS defects.

Stage 15 transheterozygous Df(2R)en-SFX31/enaGC5 embryos exhibit defects in central nervous system scaffolding with gaps in longitudinal tracts, loss of posterior commissures, or fusion of commissures in about 74.5% of the segments.

Stage 15 transheterozygous enE/enaGC5 embryos exhibit defects in central nervous system scaffolding with gaps in longitudinal tracts, loss of posterior commissures, or fusion of commissures in about 15.2% of the segments.

When enaGC5/enaGC1 and homozygous dock3 are combined only a mild additive effect is see on the longitudinal exon guidance phenotype.

Statement
Reference

Hsap\VASPScer\UAS.cADa partially rescues the lethality of enaGC1/enaGC5 flies when expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4e22c; 25-85% of flies are rescued depending on the Hsap\VASPScer\UAS.cADa line used.
