hide Detailed Description
Statement
Reference
Most of the posterior crossvein is missing in homozygous cv-c[1] mutants. The remnant of the posterior crossvein is detached, it does not reach the fourth and fifth longitudinal wing veins. The posterior crossvein appears normal in cv-c[1] heterozygotes. Miniature excitatory junction potentials (mEJPs) recorded at third instar larval neuromuscular junctions of homozygous cv-c[1] mutants are not significantly different from that of wild-type larvae. The amplitudes of excitatory junction potentials (EJPs) evoked by stimulation at 0.3 Hz and recorded at third instar larval neuromuscular junctions of homozygous cv-c[1] and heterozygous cv-c[1]/+ or trans-heterozygous cv-c[1]/cv-c[C524] and cv-c[1]/cv-c[M62] mutants are significantly increased above control levels. As a result, quantal content (QC) is about 70% higher than the QC in the wild-type control. Expression of cv-c[Scer\UAS.cDa] in motoneurons under the control of Scer\GAL4[OK6] fails to rescue the abnormal quantal content (QC) phenotype of cv-c[1]/+ larvae. Expression of cv-c[Scer\UAS.cDa] in muscle under the control of Scer\GAL4[G14] rescues the abnormal quantal content (QC) phenotype of cv-c[1]/+ larvae. There is an increase in the number of T-bars at cv-c[1] mutant neuromuscular junctions relative to controls.
In the wings of cv-c1 flies the posterior crossvein is completely absent and the anterior crossvein is detached from the fourth longitudinal vein. cv-c1/cv-cM62 wings display the same posterior crossvein phenotype.
Posterior crossvein usually absent or greatly reduced. Anterior crossvein usually present but often detached. Eye flattened or with vertical shallow furrow. Legs weak, especially tarsal joints. Occasionally overlaps wild type. RK2.

Most of the posterior crossvein is missing in Dys[E6]/+, cv-c[1]/+ double heterozygotes. The remnant of the posterior crossvein is detached, it does not reach the fourth and fifth longitudinal wing veins. The increased quantal content (QC) measured at the neuromuscular junction of cv-c[1]/+ mutants is reduced as a result of expression of Dys[GS12472] under the control of Scer\GAL4[G14]. Heterozygosity for Cdc42[4] in a cv-c[1]/+ mutant background restores quantal content (QC) to wild-type levels.
