Description

Imprecise excision of P{EP}CG4068EP425 removes approximately 10.5 kb starting 130 bp upstream of the progenitor P{EP}CG4068EP425 insertion site to before the start of exon 3 of Ptp4E. This mutation removes the first and second exons, thus deleting the sequences encoding the initiating methionine and the first 67 amino acids of the Ptp4E protein. The excision event has also introduced an uncharacterised chromosomal rearrangement, and as a result, there are unrecognizable sequences between the endpoints.

Comment:

Deletion/insertion Ptp4E1 resulted from imprecise excision of P{EP}CG4068EP425 and removes sequences from 130 bp upstream of the insertion to a site upstream of the third exon of Ptp4E. Sequences of unknown origon are inserted at the site. The deletion is reported as approximately 10.5 kb but that would remove exon 3 and part of exon 4 so it has been mapped as less than 10kb. The downstream breakpoint is a rough estimate.

Ptp4E1 Ptp10D1 double mutants exhibit bubble-like cysts with an enlarged diameter in unicellular (lateral trunk, ganglionic branch) and intracellular (lateral ganglionic branch) tracheal branches, but not in multicellular branches (dorsal trunk) or intracellular fusion branches. This phenotype is significantly reduced by Scer\GAL4btl.PS-mediated expression of expB.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1.

Ptp10D1 Ptp4E1 double mutants die as hatched larvae with collapsed tracheae. The tracheae have large bubble-like cysts on select branches and dorsal tracheal trunk are serpentine (indicating an increased length). The overall branching pattern of the tracheal network is normal.

The junctions between the transverse connective and lateral trunk branches are enlarged in stage 14 Ptp10D1 Ptp4E1 double mutant embryos. The anterior branches of the lateral trunk (which have not yet fused across segmental borders) have large cysts and the ganglionic branches have small cysts, By stage 15, cysts are seen at all transverse connective/lateral branch junctions and along the lateral trunk and ganglionic branches in the double mutant embryos. The visceral branch also develops large cysts at this stage.

Ultrastructural analysis of sections through lateral trunk branches shows that the cysts seen in Ptp10D1 Ptp4E1 double mutant embryos have variable diameters, averaging around 4.6μm. Cysts and normal lumens are never seen in the same section, suggesting that cysts in unicellular tubes are expanded forms of lumen sealed with adherens junctions.

Cysts are seen in the ganglionic branches and the diameter of the ganglionic branches is larger than normal in Ptp4E1 Ptp10DEP1172 double mutant embryos.

Expression of Egfr2.A887T.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4btl.PS enhances the tracheal defects seen in Ptp10D1 Ptp4E1 double mutant embryos; the increase in diameter of the transverse connective/lateral trunk junction is further enhanced, and cysts appear on all dorsal branches.

Ptp4E1, Ptp10D1/Y double mutant animals can hatch out into first instar larvae, but die immediately after hatching.

Ptp4E1 Ptp10D1 double mutants show mild central nervous system defects. The longitudinal axons appear wavy and the outermost longitudinal axon tract is discontinuous and often invades the middle (intermediate) longitudinal axon tract. Btau\MAPTSema-2b.T:Hsap\MYC-positive axons project in a normal manner in the double mutants. However, they have a consistent defect within their longitudinal projecting segment, in which the axon bundles do not form a tight bundle, but have a frayed appearance.

Ptp4E1 Ptp10D1 double mutant larvae have severe tracheal defects.

Ptp4E1 Ptp69D1 double mutant embryos display only very mild central nervous system defects, in which the outer longitudinal bundle is slightly wavy.

Ptp4E1 Ptp10D1; Ptp69D1/Df(3L)8ex25 triple mutant embryos show midline crossing defects in the ventral nerve cord. There are always two, and sometimes three, longitudinal bundles in the triple mutant. The triple mutants have a stronger ISNb phenotype than any of the component double mutants. This is a "clump" phenotype in which 90% of ISNbs terminate in a darkly staining blob at the dorsal border of muscle 6. In cases where the ISNb passes this point, it is often misrouted, or bypasses the muscle field by growing along the ISN. The axons often ectopically project interiorly to muscle 12 from the ISN. In Ptp4E1 Ptp10D1; Ptp69D1/Df(3L)8ex25 triple mutants, the ratio of very thin SNa nerves is increased, compared to Ptp10D1; Ptp69D1/Df(3L)8ex25 double mutants.

Ptp4E1 Ptp52F18.3 double mutants have motor axon phenotypes indistinguishable from Ptp52F18.3 single mutants.

Ptp4E1 Ptp10D1 Ptp52F18.3 triple mutants have stronger motor axon phenotypes than Ptp52F18.3 single mutants. The triple mutants also exhibit an enhancement of the ISN truncation phenotype seen at the second branchpoint in Ptp10D1 Ptp52F18.3 double mutants.

Xenogenetic Interactions
Statement
Reference

The age-progressive retinal degeneration characteristic for flies expressing Hsap\SNCAScer\UAS.cJa under the control of Scer\GAL4ninaE.PT is significantly enhanced by combination with Ptp10D1 and Ptp4E1 in double heterozygous state, combination with single copy of each allele alone does not exacerbate the retinal phenotype.

Complementation and Rescue Data
Comments

Expression of Ptp4EScer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP under the control of Scer\GAL4btl.PS completely rescues the tracheal defects of Ptp4E1 Ptp10D1 double mutant embryos.

Expression of Ptp10DEP1172 under the control of Scer\GAL4btl.PS completely rescues the tracheal defects of Ptp4E1 Ptp10DEP1172 double mutant embryos.

Scer\GAL4btl.PS-driven Ptp4EScer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-expression is capable of rescuing the lethality and tracheal phenotypes associated with the Ptp4E1-Ptp10D1 double mutant genotypes. Similarly to ubiquitous overexpression of Ptp4EScer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP driven by Scer\GAL4αTub84B.PL, pan-neural overexpression of Ptp4EScer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP driven by Scer\GAL4elav.PLu does not rescue the lethality in a Ptp4E1-Ptp10D1 background.
