Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

unc-58 homozygous embryonic heart cardioblasts show significant decreases in migration velocity, as well as in filopodial and lamellopodial extensions and activities, as compared to controls; these are associated with gaps in the leading edge, cell clumping, improper linear alignment of the cardioblasts, and embryonic heart lumen formation defects, as compared to controls. unc-58 heterozygous cardioblasts also show a significant decrease in migration velocity and filopodial activity, but not in lamellopodial activity, as compared to controls.

unc-58 single mutants exhibit mild defects in motoneuron intersegmental nerve axon guidance.

The number of embryonic peripheral glia (ePG) present on the intersegmental nerve distal to the SNc nerve branch is reduced compared to wild type. Positional and marker expression analysis indicates that it is the ePG6 and ePG8 cells which are missing from the intersegmental nerve distal to the SNc nerve branch, and they are instead either stalled in the exit area proximal to the SNc or fail to leave the central nervous system. ePG5 also occasionally stalls in the exit area.

28% of unc-58 mutants show a SNa guidance phenotype; 22% of unc-58/Df(2R)XTE-18 and 19% of unc-58/unc-52 transheterozygotes also show this phenotype.

unc-58, robo11 double heterozygotes show a less severe decrease in migration velocity compared to either single heterozygote conditions, a more severe decrease in filopodial activity compared to either single heterozygote conditions, and a more severe decrease in lamellopodial activity compared to robo11 heterozygotes.

CNS exit from EW neurons misexpressing eveScer\UAS.cBa is partially suppressed in an unc-58 mutant background and midline crossing is partially restored.

CNS exit from EW neurons misexpressing eveScer\UAS.cBa is partially suppressed in an unc-58 beat-IaC163/beat-Ia3 mutant background while midline crossing is partially restored (in 15% of hemisegments).

Nrgl10; unc-58 double mutants exhibit aberrant motorneuron crossing to the adjacent segment before the first branch point. The number of late defects is also substantially increased compared to both single mutants.

Nrgl10/Y; unc-58, beat-IaC163/beat-Ia3 triple mutants exhibit severe defects in the intersegmental nerve crossing in the ventral muscle field.

unc-58, beat-IaC163/beat-Ia3 mutants exhibit a failure of motor neurons to exit the CNS in 10% of hemisegments.

The addition of a Nrgl10/Y background does not affect the unc-58, beat-IaC163/beat-Ia3 CNS exit failure seen in 10% of unc-58, beat-IaC163/beat-Ia3 hemisegments.

A transheterozygous combination of eveΔRP2A/+, unc-58/+ reduces beat-Ia levels to 50% and significantly increases the defects seen in intersegmental nerves, with the number of axons that exhibit stalling increasing from 3% to 7.5% in eveΔRP2A/+, unc-58/+ transheterozygotes and eveΔRP2A/+, unc-58/+, beat-Ia3/+ triple heterozygotes, respectively.

A transheterozygous combination of eve3/+, unc-58/+ reduces beat-Ia levels to 50% and significantly increases the defects seen in intersegmental nerves, with the number of axons exhibiting stalling increasing from 8.1% to 23.1% in eve3/+, unc-58/+ transheterozygotes and eve3/+, unc-58/+, beat-IaC163/+ triple heterozygotes, respectively.

eveΔRP2A, Df(2R)eve/+ ; unc-58/+ double heterozygous embryos show guidance defects in the intersegmental nerve.

unc-58/+ ; grn7L/+ double heterozygous embryos show guidance defects in the intersegmental nerve.

Comments

The unc-58 homozygous embryonic heart cardioblast defects (i.e. migration velocity and in filopodial and lamellopodial extensions and activities) and embryonic heart lumen formation defects are rescued by the expression of unc-5Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1,T:SS-wg under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.247.

Expression of unc-5Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1,T:SS-wg under the control of Scer\GAL4cas-3921 in unc-58 embryos rescues the normal number of six embryonic peripheral glia distal to the SNc in 49% of hemisegments (compared to only 6% of hemisegments in unc-58 embryos) and five ePG are found distal to the SNc in 39% of hemisegments (compared to only 24% of hemisegments in unc-58 embryos).

Expression of unc-5Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1,T:SS-wg under the control of Scer\GAL4repo in unc-58 embryos rescues the normal number of six embryonic peripheral glia distal to the SNc in 49% of hemisegments (compared to only 6% of hemisegments in unc-58 embryos) and five ePG are found distal to the SNc in 33% of hemisegments (compared to only 24% of hemisegments in unc-58 embryos).

Expression of unc-5Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1,T:wg, under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu, partially rescues the ISN and SNa defects of unc-52/unc-58 mutants.
