An insertion of a transposable element into the intron between the second and third transcriptional start sites of shot.
An insertion of a transposable element into the intron between the second and third transcriptional start sites of shot. The P-element is inserted at genomic position 9,807,300 (accession number FJ869115).
Insertion of a P{lacW} element into the intron at the 5' end of the gene that separates the alternate starts from the shared exons.
axon & motor neuron | embryonic stage
dendrite & motor neuron | embryonic stage
shotk03405 mutant embryos display no muscle detachment phenotypes.
The dendrites of motorneurons are strongly reduced and motorneuron axons stall in shotk03405 mutant embryos.
shotk03405/Df(2R)MK1 primary neuronal cultures show a significantly reduced axonal length compared to controls. They also show an increase of neurons with unbundled microtubules - these microtubules display irregular trajectories and frequent loops in axons and growth cones.
shot3/Df(2R)MK1 primary neuronal cultures have normal numbers of filopodia.
Germ band retraction and head involution fail in approximately 15% of homozygous embryos. Breaks in the ventral epidermis of the middle abdominal segments are seen in fully germ band extended embryos.
I. Kiss.
Lethality is reverted by excision of the P{lacW} element.
The site of the P{lacW} insertion in shotk03010 is identical to the site of the P{lacW} insertion in shotk03405.
