A tubulin promoter drives expression of a truncated form of MTF-1 (amino acid residues 1-579).
Flies expressing MTF-1Δ580-791.tub have a reduced eclosion rate compared to wild type and have severely malformed, crumpled wings.
The median lifespan of flies expressing MTF-1Δ580-791.tub is reduced to a median of 10 days (compared to a median lifespan of 49 days for wild-type controls).
MTF-1Δ580-791.tub has visible phenotype, suppressible | partially by Ctr1Bunspecified/Ctr1B[+]
MTF-1Δ580-791.tub has visible phenotype, suppressible by Ctr1Bunspecified/Ctr1Bunspecified
MTF-1Δ580-791.tub has short lived phenotype, non-suppressible by Ctr1Bunspecified/Ctr1Bunspecified
MTF-1Δ580-791.tub has wing phenotype, suppressible | partially by Ctr1Bunspecified/Ctr1B[+]
MTF-1Δ580-791.tub has wing phenotype, suppressible by Ctr1Bunspecified/Ctr1Bunspecified
The wing defects seen in flies expressing MTF-1Δ580-791.tub are ameliorated by Ctr1Bunspecified/+ and almost completely suppressed by Ctr1Bunspecified/Ctr1Bunspecified. The shortened lifespan caused by MTF-1Δ580-791.tub is not suppressed by Ctr1Bunspecified/Ctr1Bunspecified.
The wing defects seen in flies expressing MTF-1Δ580-791.tub are enhanced by the "qMtn" mutant combination (MtnAΔATG MtnBΔATG MtnCΔATG MtnDOreR) and the mutant flies show a very low eclosion rate.
