Detailed Description

In LarC12/Lar2127 mutants, many R7 axons are mis-targeted in the retina.

Most R7 photoreceptor axons terminate at the more superficial R8 layer in LarC12/Lar2127 mutant eye discs.

Reduced synaptic growth at the neuromuscular junction is observed in LarC12/Lar2127 mutant third instar larvae.

Lar2127/LarC12 mutants exhibit aberrant R7 photoreceptor targeting, where approximately 15% of R7 axons project beyond the R8 layer. R1-R6 targeting is as wild-type.

Stage 14 oocytes from Lar2127/LarC12 mutants are defective in egg elongation.

Mosaic flies in which the photoreceptor cells are homozygous show defects in the optomotor response (58% fail to respond to a motion stimulus) and the UV/visual light choice test (43% show phototaxis towards visible light, compared to only 12% of wild-type flies).

Overexpression of Liprin-αScer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 or Scer\GAL4GMR.PF in a Lar2127/LarC12 mutant background partially restores R7 targeting.

Liprin-αoos LarC12 somatic clones exhibit defects in R7 targeting in over 80% of cases. This is a statistically significant difference to wild-type. They have fewer correctly targeted R7 axons than clones homozygous for LarC12.

Expression of LarScer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1, LarC1638S.Scer\UAS, LarC1929S.Scer\UAS, LarCSX2.Scer\UAS, LarD1YLCS.Scer\UAS, LarΔIg123.Scer\UAS, LarΔFn123.Scer\UAS, LarΔFn456.Scer\UAS, or LarΔIg123ΔFn1-6.Scer\UAS.T:wg,T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 in LarC12/Lar2127 mutant eye discs rescues axon mistargeting. Expression of LarPPLL.Scer\UAS or LarPPLL.D1CS.Scer\UAS only partially rescues the axon targeting phenotype. Expression of LarΔFn789.Scer\UAS or LarΔFn2-9.Scer\UAS fail to rescue the axon targeting phenotype.

Expression of LarScer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 or LarPPLL.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 in LarC12/Lar2127 mutant third instar larvae rescues synaptic growth at the neuromuscular junction. Expression of LarC1638S.Scer\UAS, LarD1YLCS.Scer\UAS, or LarCSX2.Scer\UAS only partially rescues this phenotype.

Expression of LarScer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 rescues R7 targeting in Lar2127/LarC12 mutants.

Expression of LarScer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 fails to rescue R7 targeting in Lar2127/LarC12 mutants.

Expression of LarScer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4T155 rescues the egg elongation phenotype observed in stage 14 oocytes from Lar2127/LarC12 mutants.

Expression of LarΔC.Scer\UAS.T:wg,T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4T155 fails to rescue the egg elongation phenotype observed in stage 14 oocytes from Lar2127/LarC12 mutants and indeed exacerbates the phenotype, with approximately 44% of the oocytes displaying a 'rounded phenotype', compared to approximately 30% in the Lar2127/LarC12 mutant.
