A 3062 bp deletion resulting from the imprecise excision of P{EP}bshG3075 maps to R5 coordinates 2L:19766024..19769085 .
medulla | larval stage (with bsh2)
medulla | pupal stage (with bsh2)
MARCM neuron clones in the medulla that would normally express bsh (labelled using Scer\GAL4bsh.PH) but which are homozygous for bsh1 are transformed into transmedullary neuron (Tm)-type neurons in 89.6% of cases (bsh-expressing neurons normally develop into Mi1 medulla intrinsic neurons in wild-type animals).
MARCM neuron clones in the lamina that would normally express bsh (labelled using Scer\GAL4bsh.PH) but which are homozygous for bsh1 develop into L3-like neurons in 91.7% of cases (bsh is normally expressed in L4 and L5 lamina neurons in wild-type).
bsh1 is partially rescued by bshUAS.PA/Scer\GAL4bsh.PH
bsh1 is partially rescued by Scer\GAL4bsh.PH/bshUAS.PB
Expression of bshScer\UAS.PB under the control of Scer\GAL4bsh.PH partially rescues the transformation of Mi1 medulla intrinsic neurons into transmedullary neuron (Tm)-type neurons seen in bsh1 MARCM neuron clones. The projections of the rescued neurons are restricted to the medulla and arborisations are formed at the M1, M5 and M9-M10 layers, but the size and shape of the arborisations is not identical to wild-type Mi1 neurons.
Expression of bshScer\UAS.PA under the control of Scer\GAL4bsh.PH mildly rescues the transformation of Mi1 medulla intrinsic neurons into transmedullary neuron (Tm)-type neurons seen in bsh1 MARCM neuron clones.
Expression of bshScer\UAS.PB under the control of Scer\GAL4bsh.PH partially rescues the formation of ectopic L3-like lamina neurons seen in bsh1 MARCM neuron clones.
