Fppsk03514 heterozygous mutants do not display a degenerative nervous system phenotype, with only the occasional small vacuole forming in these mutants.
Fpps[+]/Fppsk03514 is an enhancer of wing margin phenotype of Bx2
Fpps[+]/Fppsk03514 is a non-enhancer of scutellar bristle | increased number phenotype of SsdpL7
Fpps[+]/Fppsk03514 is a suppressor of vacuole phenotype of SNF4Aγloe
Fpps[+]/Fppsk03514 is a suppressor of scutellar bristle | increased number phenotype of Chie5.5
Fpps[+]/Fppsk03514 is a non-suppressor of scutellar bristle | increased number phenotype of SsdpL7
A Fppsk03514 heterozygous background significantly suppresses the degenerative nervous sytem phenotype found in 5 day old SNF4Aγloe mutants. These flies exhibit a reduction in the area of vacuoles in the optic system, from approximately 163 υm[2] to 33υm[2] in a Fppsk03514/+ background. There is a similar reduction in the number of vacuoles present, confirming an involvement of the isoprenoid pathway in the degenerative phenotype of SNF4Aγloe flies.
