Isolated RP2 neuron clones expressing GSd481GSd481 under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PP (clones generated using the Scer\FLP1eve.RN2 line) show a reduction in dendrite growth at 25-31 hours after egg laying. The distribution of dendrites in the dendritic field is altered: there is a decrease in the number of dendrites targeted to the anterior, posterior, medial and lateral regions of the dendritic field.
Fas2-positive axon bundles in the ventral nerve cord are diffuse or less distinct than normal in embryos expressing GSd481GSd481 under the control of Scer\GAL4scrt-11-6.
The "GSd481" line contains two insertions (P{GSV1}GSd481a and P{GSV1}GSd481b) and it is not known which insertion is responsible for the lethality and other phenotypes seen in combination with the Scer\GAL4scrt-11-6 driver. FlyBase curator comment: a GSd481GSd481 allele has been made to accommodate the overexpression phenotypes, until it is known which (or both) insertions cause them.
