Description

A 22 bp deletion resulting in a deletion of 7 amino acids at position 321 and a frame shift leading to a STOP codon at amino acid position 350. Thus the resulting protein is predicted to have 28 amino acids that are different from wild type, in addition to the truncation.

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

midlos1/midlos1 embryos show loss of lateral transverse muscles.

An additional, ectopic eve-postive neuron is observed within the nerve cord in 25-41% of hemisegments in ~14 hour-old mutant embryos. In midlos1/mid2 embryos, the ectopic neuron is seen in 24-25% of hemisegments; in midlos1/mid1 embryos, the ectopic neuron is seen in 30-39% of hemisegments; in midlos1/Df(2L)Exel6012 embryos, the ectopic neuron is seen in 57-65% of hemisegments. Further experiments suggest this is an ectopic RP2 (eRP2) neuron, resulting from the transformation of a wild type neuron termed the 'M-neuron', with an ectopic GMC-1-like cell and a RP2 sib-like cell also present. This extra RP2/sib lineage is formed 2-2.5 hours after the development of the bona fide RP2 lineage.

Mutant phenotype as assayed by Ecol\lacZrp staining: commissural subset and longitudinal connectives have gaps. Mutant phenotype of lateral chordotonal axons includes: shorter axons, defasciculated axons or dorsally routed axons.

In midlos1, insc22 mutants, two ectopic RP2s are observed.

In midlos1, numb796 mutants, two ectopic RP2 sib cells are observed with complete penetrance.

The ectopic RP2 neuron seen in midlos1 mutants is not observed in any animals that are also mutant for Df(2L)ED773 (which deletes nub and pdm2), and is missing in 75-96% of the hemisegments in midlos1, wgl-17 double mutants.

Comments

Expression of midScer\UAS.cGa using Scer\GAL4wg.PM, Scer\GAL4sca.PU, Scer\GAL4ftz.ng or Scer\GAL4eve.RKK, but not Scer\GAL4en-e16E, significantly suppresses the formation of the extra RP2 lineage in midlos1 mutants.
