Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

R2-R5 axons do not terminate in the lamina in hemizygous third instar larvae, but instead project into the medulla. This phenotype is 100% penetrant. The morphology of the R8 growth cones is abnormal.

Homozygous R8 axon MARCM clones show severe targeting defects and have unusually large growth cones with many fine processes. Homozygous R2-R5 axon MARCM clones show appropriate targeting to the lamina region.

Imaginal discs from hemizygous MoeG0323 mutant animals are much smaller than those of wild-type animals. The number of apoptotic cells is increased in the mutant imaginal discs compared with wild-type.

Mutant animals develop more slowly than wild-type, reach pupal stages later and die as pupae.

Hemizygous males show late larval lethality. Cells in MoeG0323 imaginal discs show depletion of F-actin from the apical region (where it normally accumulates in wild-type cells) and accumulation of F-actin at ectopic sites within the cell. Cells lacking apical-basal polarity accumulate basal to the epithelial layer in MoeG0323 imaginal discs. Cells marked by Avic\GFP expression in the MoeG0323 wing disc appear to disperse from their normal position and can invade adjacent regions of the disc. The epithelial ultrastructure is disrupted in MoeG0323 wing discs; large abnormal protrusions replace the microvillar projections seen in wild-type cells.

28% of embryos from MoeEP1652/MoeG0323 mothers lack germ cells. Only 1% of embryos from MoeGT193/MoeG0323 mothers lack germ cells.

Additional Comments
Genetic Interactions
Statement
Reference

Heterozygosity for MoeG0323 dramatically rescues the Syx7brd1615 terminal tracheal cell defects. The number of cysts is reduced, and terminal branching is greatly restored. The early endocytosis defects of Syx7brd1615 are not rescued by heterozygous MoeG0323.

MoeG0323/+ increases the penetrance of the axonal mistargeting defects seen in the lamina and medulla of hemizygous wgne00637 third instar larvae from 70% to 100%.

Both hemizygous MoeG0323; Rho172R/+ and homozygous MoeG0323; Rho172R/+ adult retinas have normal photoreceptors.

Halving the maternal and zygotic dose of Rho1+ (using Rho172R) strongly suppresses the lethality of MoeG0323 animals and also suppresses the MoeG0323 disc epithelium organisation and actin localisation phenotypes.

Expression of MoeK.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC under the control of Scer\GAL4sca-109-68 rescues the R2-R5 axon targeting defects seen in MoeG0323 hemizygotes in 38% of cases.
