hide Detailed Description
Statement
Reference
Mutant embryos secrete a uniform naked cuticle.
nkd2/nkd3 embryos have a strong cuticle phenotype with a severe head involution defect and widely split posterior spiracles.
nkd2/nkd3 embryos have a strong cuticle phenotype; the cuticles are less than 75% of wild-type length, have two or less complete denticle bands and have an exteriorized head skeleton and noneverted spiracles.
Homozygous mutant nkd3 eyes, generated by somatic clone, are small and rough. Homozygous embryos lack denticle belts.
Homozygous embryos have a strong cuticle phenotype; they secrete cuticle with a fully exteriorised head skeleton, widely split filzkorper and residual denticle belts only in segment A3 and/or A5 (or no denticle belts at all), and are typically less than 75% of wild-type length.
ptc parasegmental boundaries are shifted in nkd embryos forming posterior to each en domain: expression domain is reduced.
nkd mutant embryos have Keilin's organs, but these often have four or more sensory hairs rather than the normal three. Occasionally extra, discrete organs are seen, so that three organs appear in one segment, usually accompanied by the loss of an organ from an adjacent segment. nkd3/nkd2 embryos grew in in vivo culture, producing implants containing imaginal discs and all larval tissues. The discs tended to grow as a merged sheet of material. Metamorphosed implants produced adult cuticular structures derived from the eye-antenna discs, leg and wing discs.

The naked cuticle phenotype of nkd[3] embryos is partially rescued by expression of pan[ΔN.Scer\UAS] under the control of either Scer\GAL4[ptc-559.1] or Scer\GAL4[en-e16E], with more complete rescue being seen when Scer\GAL4[ptc-559.1] is used as the driver.
nkd3 h1 clones give rise to a rough eye phenotype and loss of wing margin bristles.

Statement

Expression of nkd::Mmus\Nkd1[m1NΔN.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP] under the control of Scer\GAL4[da.G32] results in little or no rescue of the nkd[3] cuticle phenotype. Expression of nkd::Mmus\Nkd1[f30aa.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP] under the control of Scer\GAL4[da.G32] does not rescue the nkd[3] cuticle phenotype. Expression of Mmus\Nkd1[Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP] under the control of Scer\GAL4[da.G32] does not rescue the nkd[3] cuticle phenotype. Expression of nkd::Mmus\Nkd1[fNf30aa.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP] under the control of Scer\GAL4[da.G32] partially rescues the nkd[3] cuticle phenotype.
Expression of nkd::Btau\recoverinrEF.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32 largely rescues the cuticle defects of nkd2/nkd3 embryos and adult viability is restored. Expression of nkd::Hsap\NKD2hEFX2.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32 largely rescues the cuticle defects of nkd2/nkd3 embryos and adult viability is restored. Expression of Mmus\Nkd1Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32 fails to rescue the cuticle defects of nkd2/nkd3 embryos. Expression of nkd::Mmus\Nkd1f30aa.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32 fails to rescue the cuticle defects of nkd2/nkd3 embryos.
When Xlae\Gsk3βcRa RNA is injected into nkd3 flies a suppression of the naked cuticle phenotype is seen leading to the production of some denticle belts.
