No mutations are apparent in the jvl coding region.
jvl1/Df(3R)Exel6275 pupal bristle fail to taper and is much wider and swollen compared to controls. It also exhibit a decrease in microtubule (MT) number at the abnormally wide upper region of the bristle and defects in the dynamic MT organization throughout the bristle shaft (with a significantly wider width of the tip) when compared to controls.
jvl1/jvlf00590 adults exhibit bristle defects with a swollen tip containing misoriented actin ridges compared to controls.
jvl1 homozygotes, jvl1 hemizygotes and jvl1/jvlf00590 trans-heterozygotes show defective bristle tip morphology.
jvl1 animals are fertile, but jvl1 hemizygotes and jvl1/jvlf00590 trans-heterozygotes are sterile and lay ventralized eggs.
Actin and microtubule organization is disrupted in jvl1 hemizygous egg chambers.
Longitudinal actin bundles in the bristle cells of jvl1 mutants are larger than in wild type and extend deeply into the cytoplasm. The filaments are packed hexagonally, like in wild type.
Resembles jv1 but bristles sometimes more crooked. Viability and productivity somewhat lower than normal. RK2.
