Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

KrmCD/Kr1 transheterozygotes present a significant decrease in the number of dividing neuroblasts during stages 13 and 14 of embryogenesis and a significant decrease in the number of dividing neuroblast daughters during stage 14, but not stage 13, of embryogenesis, as compared to controls; these embryos, however, show no significant differences in the number of neuroblasts, as compared to controls.

In Kr1, KrmCD mutants, the first born 1/1G sibling neurons are variably affected; both can be missing (about 17% of the time) 1G can be missing (73%) or both can be normal (10%); however the second-born interneuron 2 is always missing. The third born interneuron is almost always normal. In the 7-1 lineage in these animals, one of the U3/U4 motorneurons is frequently missing (about 73%) although all earlier and later born neurons develop normally.

Statement
Reference

Embryos trans-heterozygous for Sin3A08269 and Kr1 KrmCD (a Kr loss-of-function allele) do not show mesodermal defects.

KrmCD; Kr1/Kr1 enhances the reduction in later born neurons of the NB7-1 an NB2-3 lineages see in svp1/svp2 embryos so that U4 and U5 are almost completely eliminated, as are EW2 and EW3. This enhanced phenotype is partially suppressed if the embryos are also hb12/hb15.

KrmCD, Kr1/+, caps05121/+ embryos show a SNb nerve phenotype, without affecting the ISN and SNa. In about 1/3 of cases the SNb stops along the ventral longitudinal muscles, ending with a large growth cone structure. In addition properly defasciculated RP axons fail to continue along their normal paths, a portion of them elongate and stall along their normal paths; a portion of them elongate and stall either in a position close to the transversal nerve or are directly connected to it. Kr1, caps05121 or Kr1, caps65.2 double homozygotes (that have been partially rescued by the addition of KrmCD) develop an even stronger phenotype; the SNb is absent in most of the double mutants analysed or do not extend beyond its second choice point close to muscle 28. In only a few cases the SNb stalls in the ventral muscle field. Fas2EB112/+, Kr1/+, double heterozygotes (that have been partially rescued by KrmCD) exhibit an axon guidance phenotype. The SNb enters the ventral muscle field normally in most cases but the nerve stops at the second choice point by forming a growth cone-like structure. No individual RP axons are observed.

Comments

Pan-muscular expression of Kr can partially rescue the SNb phenotype of the Kr1, KrmCD, caps05121 double homozygotes.

Specifically rescues the segmentation defect of Kr- mutants.

Embryonic segmentation is normal but CNS is abnormal.

Minigene lacks elements required for Kr expression in the posterior blastoderm domain, the Malpighian tubule anlagen, the muscle precursor cells and the nervous system.
