The 5' breakpoint of Df(3L)Cbl1 is at the site of the PBac{5HPw+}A395 insertion. The 3' breakpoint is as yet undefined but is at least 10kb 3' of the Cbl gene.
eye (with CblDv.UAS), with Scer\GAL4GMR.PF
ommatidium (with CblDv.UAS), with Scer\GAL4GMR.PF
photoreceptor neuron | ectopic (with CblDv.UAS), with Scer\GAL4GMR.PF
The wild-type segmental array of neurons is disrupted in Cbl1 mutants and some embryos fail to form the appropriate number of neurons in each segment. The phenotype is pleiotropic, possibly due to varying degrees of maternal rescue.
Cbl1 animals have cephalopharyngeal defects and variable cuticle defects. In animals with well formed cuticle, segment deletions and fusions are common. Small perforations that may reflect a dorsal closure defect are also observed.
Heterozygous Cbl1 flies are phenotypically wild-type.
Flies heterozygous for both Cbl1 and Scer\GAL4GMR.PF;CblDv.Scer\UAS exhibit a significantly enhanced Scer\GAL4GMR.PF;CblDv.Scer\UAS phenotype, with pronounced disruption of the ommatidial array and an increase in the number of ommatidia with ectopic photoreceptors.
