Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

In pupal MoePL54 homozygous mosaic retinas, ommatidia composed of only mutant photoreceptors exhibit C-shaped peripheral photoreceptor rhabdomeres; in adult homozygous photoreceptors, the stalk-rhabdomere segregation is disrupted, catacomb-like membrane architecture is absent and rhabdomeric microvilli do not unite to form a single round structure, instead spread to the entire apical membrane, compared to controls.

MoePL54 leads to 100% lethality in embryonic or early larval stages.

The apical membranes of photoreceptor rhabdomeres are severely disrupted in MoePL54 homozygous somatic clones. The rhabdomere microvillar array is irregular in these cells: the rhabdomere terminal web is replaced by abnormal F-actin accumulations.

A proportion of the eggs laid by heterozygous MoePL54 heterozygous females display segmentation defects (8%, n=64). These abnormal embryos lack posterior structures.

In pupal and adult MoePL54 mosaic retinas on a Synd661T/Df(3R)BSC43 background the extent of stalk-rhabdomere segregation defect is not different than Synd661T homozygous mosaic retinas.

Re-mobilisation of the transposon causes the lethality phenotype to be lost.
