23bp deletion within exon 11 which is replaced with a 3bp insertion of unrelated sequence. This results in a frameshift that introduces a stop codon three amino acid residues after L653.
DgO86/DgO55 mutant flies exhibit temperature-induced mobility defects.
DgO55/Df(3R)Exel6184 mutant flies exhibit temperature-induced mobility defects.
Increased indirect flight muscle degeneration is seen in DgO86/DgO55 mutant flies at 25[o]C and, as in wild type, the phenotype is increased ~2 fold by an increase in temperature to 33[o]C. On paraquat-containing food the ratio or degree of muscle degeneration is not increased in DgO86/DgO55 mutant flies in comparison to control. Unlike in wild type, animals exposure of DgO86/DgO55 mutants to lower temperature (18[o]C) causes the appearance of severe progressive degeneration, followed by focal muscle loss. At 25[o]C the phenotype does not become significantly more severe with age. Sugar-free food conditions promote severe muscle loss. Metabolic rate on sugar-free food is reduced compared to wild type controls.
The Dg[-] progeny of DgO43/DgO86 females mated to DgO55/+ males are viable when grown without competition from heterozygous larvae.
The Dg[-] progeny of DgO55/DgO86 females mated to DgO38/+ males are viable when grown without competition from heterozygous larvae.
DgO86/DgO55 animals show reduced viability under normal culture conditions.
66% of eggs laid by DgO55/DgO86 females mated to wild-type males hatch.
79% of eggs laid by DgO43/DgO86 females mated to DgO55/+ males hatch.
82% of eggs laid by DgO55/DgO86 females mated to DgO38/+ males hatch.
Homozygotes show a posterior crossvein phenotype with 100% penetrance. More than 90% of wings show a "detached" phenotype (the crossvein is detached from both L4 and L5). A small fraction of wings with a "gapped" phenotype (the crossvein is detached from either vein L4 or L5, but not both) are seen.
DgO55/Df(2R)ED2457 animals show 65% viability compared to controls.
Df(3R)Exel6184/+, DgO55 has indirect flight muscle cell phenotype
Dg Dys double heterozygous flies (DgO55/Df(3R)Exel6184) exhibit indirect flight muscle degeneration.
