klu09036 larvae buildup food in the midgut.
klu09036 first instar larvae ingest significantly less food than wild type in a liquid food assay.
klu212lR51C/klu09036 larval brains show premature loss of neuroblasts.
Average Citrate Synthase activity is reduced by 8% in heterozygous males
klu09036 mutant larvae are smaller than wild-type larvae and show a feeding defect in which they fail to pump food from the pharynx to the esophagus. This defect is not due to a morphological blockage in the esophagus and these larvae are able to move about with the same vigor as wild-type larvae. The mutant larvae display wandering behavior in which they leave the food source and move about with food lodged in their pharynx. This feeding phenotype is also seen in Df(3L)kluXR19/klu09036, klu212lR51C/klu09036 and klu10052/klu09036 transheterozygotes.
klu09036 has abnormal feeding behavior | larval stage phenotype, suppressible by Ctet\tetXTNT-LC.UAS/Scer\GAL4S3.Hug
klu09036 is a suppressor of visible phenotype of HUAS.cMa, Scer\GAL4GMR.PF
klu[+]/klu09036 is a suppressor of eye phenotype of HUAS.cMa, Scer\GAL4GMR.PU
klu09036 is a suppressor of eye phenotype of HUAS.cMa, Scer\GAL4GMR.PF
The small-eye phenotype observed in animals expressing HScer\UAS.cMa in the eye under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PU is significantly suppressed in a klu09036/+ mutant background.
Blocking synaptic transmission of "hug" neurons, achieved by expression of Ctet\TeTxLCTNT.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4S3.hug, results in significant suppression of the klu feeding phenotype.
