Statement
Reference
Heterozygous flies have a significantly increased density of microchaetae on the notum compared to controls.
The number and length of wing vein breaks increases with increasing temperature in homozygous flies.
Thickened vein mutant.
Enhances the eye phenotype of Nspl-1.
Individuals heterozygous for Bpt1 and heterozygous for E(spl)1 exhibit no Bpt1 phenotype.
Dominant phenotype increasing the number of microchaetae on the notum.
E(spl)1/E(spl)rv1 heterozygotes show a homogeneous increase in chaetae density on the tergites.
Homozygous flies have virtually normal eyes, with a very mild roughening at the rear of the eye.
Severe reduction in size of compound eye.
Strongly enhanced expression of "NAx" alleles.
P element construct carrying a wild type E(spl) gene copy can rescue the lethality of E(spl)1 with other E(spl) mutations.
Homozygotes displayed neural hypoplasia and enhancement of the Nspl-1 phenotype.
Most homozygotes display slight roughening of the eye. A few exhibit irregular epidermal defects and others show fusion of neighbouring denticle belts. E(spl)1 has complete penetrance in enhancing the Nspl-1 phenotype. During embryogenesis E(spl)1 behaves as a dominant allele with incomplete penetrance for cell death in neural primordia.

N[spl-1]/Y; E(spl)[1]/+ mutants exhibit a severely reduced eye. The residual eye field is highly disorganised; the clustering of the interommatidial bristles might well reflect facet loss. The severe reduced eye found in N[spl-1]/Y; E(spl)[1]/+ mutants is partially suppressed upon overexpression of E(spl)[123-179.CtD.Scer\UAS] immediately anterior to the morphogenetic furrow under the control of Scer\GAL4[h-H10]. Expression of E(spl)[123-179.CtD.Scer\UAS] not only increases eye size (facet numbers), but also restores the patterning of the facets. This patterning is, however, lost toward the anterior margin of the residual eye. The severe reduced eye found in N[spl-1]/Y; E(spl)[1]/+ mutants is unaffected by overexpression of E(spl)[S159D.123-179.CtD.Scer\UAS] under the control of Scer\GAL4[h-H10]. Expression of E(spl)[123-179.CtD.Scer\UAS] in trans, in all cells posterior to the morphogenetic furrow, under the control of Scer\GAL4[GMR.PF] does not rescue the severe reduced eye phenotype found in N[spl-1]/Y; E(spl)[1]/+ mutants. The absence of rescue is also supported by facet numbers, which upon expression of three independent E(spl)[123-179.CtD.Scer\UAS] lines closely mimics control levels in N[spl-1]/Y; E(spl)[1]/+ mutants. Rescue of the N[spl-1]/Y; E(spl)[1]/+ retinal defects by E(spl)[123-179.CtD.Scer\UAS] therefore requires expression in a region of the developing eye where funding R8 photoreceptors are patterned and specified.
Expression of either Hip1[Scer\UAS.cMa] or Hip1[ΔANTH.Scer\UAS] under the control of Scer\GAL4[pnr-MD237] has no effect on the increased density of microchaetae on the notum seen in E(spl)[1]/+ flies.
CkIIαTik, E(spl)1 double mutant flies do not show ommatidial or interommatidial bristle defects. Expression of one copy of CkIIαdsRNA.Scer\UAS under the control of one copy of Scer\GAL4sca-537.4 in an E(spl)1/+ background results in a split bristle phenotype, while this level of CkIIαdsRNA.Scer\UAS dosage is not sufficient to induce split bristles in a wild-type background.
E(spl)1/+, Nspl-1/Y flies have severely reduced eyes. They typically exhibit 4-8 residual ommatidia.
Has no effect on bristle phenotype of Nspl-1 but enhances the eye phenotype.
The variation of the number of missing bristles and number and length of wing vein breaks with temperature in NAx-1; E(spl)1 double mutants is the same as in E(spl)1 single mutants. The number of bristles is rescued almost to wild type in NAx-E2 ; E(spl)1 double mutants, while the number and length of wing vein breaks are higher in NAx-E2; E(spl)1 double mutants than in NAx-E2 single mutants. NAx-tsl homozygotes and hemizygotes do not survive at 29oC. NAx-tsl; E(spl)1 double mutants show semi-lethality at 29oC. The number and length of wing vein breaks are rescued to wild type in NAx-tsl; E(spl)1 double mutants.
Strong enhancer of the Nspl-1 phenotype; Nspl-1/Y E(spl)1/+ flies have a severely reduced compound eye with only 15-30 widely spaced facets. The ommatidia contain fewer photoreceptors than normal, and the rhabdomeres are often distorted. A large number of secondary pigment cells fill the space between the scattered photoreceptor cell clusters. Photoreceptor cell axons follow an aberrant course, and usually fail to enter the eye stalk. The pattern of cell proliferation is qualitatively normal in Nspl-1/Y E(spl)1/+ flies as assayed by BrdU incorporation. There is abundant cell death in the eye imaginal discs of these flies during the third instar larval stage, dead cells are more abundant behind the morphogenetic furrow.
No phenotypic interaction with NAx-E2 or Dl9P. Causes a rough eye phenotype when heterozygous with Nnd-2, more severe at room temperature.
