Cam7/+ flies have normal wing structure.
Cam7 heterozygotes exhibit little effect on the average period of free-running.
Cam7/Camn339 larvae are morphologically normal and show normal forward locomotion with no spontaneous backward movement. However, they are sluggish with a body wall contraction (BWC) rate about one-third that of controls. Cam7/Camn339 wandering third instar larvae become progressively incapable of relaxing at the end of each body-wall contraction and show increasing stiffness during locomotion. Third instar body wall muscles that have been treated with ether (to artificially relax them) all show longitudinal muscles that have a "bunched" appearance, with structural disorganisation and misaligned myofibrils. Cam7/Camn339 animals form pupal cases with deep indentations at the larval segment boundaries. On average the mutant larvae decrease their body length by 50% during pupariation, compared to a decrease of one-third in wild-type larvae. Only the long axis is abnormally compressed in the mutant animals. Cam7/Camn339 pupae never eclose, but most develop into pharate adults with head defects. Three types of heads are seen; normal heads with no obvious defects, malformed heads that are partially everted and "inside-out" heads where head eversion has completely failed and head development proceeds in a noneverted head sac buried in the thorax. There is a correlation between the pupal length:width ratio and the degree of head abnormality; the more severe head defects are associated with shorter pupal cases. Cam7/Camn339 animals rescued to adulthood by expression of CamScer\UAS.cWa under the control of Scer\GAL4how-24B are behaviourally abnormal; they fail to climb after being gently knocked to the bottom of a vial, and they show poor flight and a reduced ability to right themselves after a brief vortexing. The initial stages of male courtship are normal, but the rescued males cannot bend their abdomens sufficiently to achieve penetration.
Cam7/Camn339 pupal cases are shorter than wild type and have deeply indented rings at the larval segment boundaries. Many animals have head eversion defects and none eclose. Expression of CamB34Q.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4how-24B in Cam7/+ animals (which are normally phenotypically wild type) results in less than half the animals pupariating and some pupae have body wrinkles similar to that seen in Cam7 hemizygotes. Expression of both CamB12Q.Scer\UAS and CamB34Q.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4how-24B in Cam7/Camn339 animals results in 100% larval lethality.
Mutant larvae are sluggish and form highly indented pupal cases as a result of excessive longitudinal contraction during pupariation. Many pupae have problems with head eversion and formation and no adults eclose.
Hemizygotes survive to pupate but never emerge from the pupal cases. The pupal cases are smaller than normal with distinctive 'Michelin-man' phenotype of deeply indented rings corresponding to junctions of the larval body segments. Most individuals the develop within the pupal case are headless or have partial head structures due to a failure of head eversion. Inverted head structures, including fully formed eyes, can be dissected out of the thoraces. Some individuals have fully everted heads. Cam7/Cam8t mutants also die in the pupal case but few develop far enough to show failed head eversion. Camhs.PN restores good viability, about 50%. Transheterozygous combinations with other Cam mutations produces an incompletely penetrant ectopic wing vein phenotype.

Rya-r44F16/+ rescues the pupal defects and lethality of Cam7/Camn339 animals; the pupae are smooth and indentation free in the anterior and only have mild ridges in the posterior, their length:width ratios are actually higher than wild type, more than 40% of the pupae eclose and those that do not eclose do not show head defects. Some of the eclosed animals do not show wing expansion and they all perform poorly in a climb test. Df(2R)H3E1/+ has a slight suppressing effect on the Cam7/Camn339 phenotype; pupae show some increase in the pupal length:width ratio, but very few pupal cases have decreased indentations, and fewer head defects are seen in pupae, but they fail to eclose. Ca-α1DX7/+ has a slight suppressing effect on the Cam7/Camn339 phenotype; there is a small but significant increase in the pupal length:width ratio, but no obvious effect on pupal case indentations, and a small fraction of the animals eclose as weak, uncoordinated adults with no wing expansion. Ca-α1DAR66/+ has a slight suppressing effect on the Cam7/Camn339 phenotype; there is an increase in the pupal length:width ratio, but none of the pupae eclose.
In combination with l(2)C43C43 mutants exhibit markedly reduced viability.
A heterozygous Cam7 background in flies expressing Mmmm\PVScer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC under the control of Scer\GAL4P2.4.Pdf can result in lengthening of the free-running period, compared to controls, after 3-5 weeks in constant darkness.

The lethality and pupariation defects seen in Cam7/Camn339 animals are rescued by expression of CamScer\UAS.cWa under the control of Scer\GAL4how-24B; the pupal cases are morphologically wild type and have more normal length:width ratios, almost all of the rescued pupae eclose and no aberrant pharate head structures are seen. The lethality and pupariation defects seen in Cam7/Camn339 animals are not rescued by expression of CamScer\UAS.cWa under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu or Scer\GAL4sca.PU. The sluggish larval locomotion of Cam7/Camn339 animals is incompletely rescued by expression of CamScer\UAS.cWa under the control of Scer\GAL4how-24B or Scer\GAL4elav.PLu.
