Short insertion/deletion at codon 108-109, resulting in a frameshift and a premature stop codon.
Position of mutation on reference sequence inferred by FlyBase curator based on author statement: Short insertion/deletion at codon 108-109, (V108 is GTA, T and A are deleted, see Fig 6) resulting in a frameshift and a premature stop codon.
abnormal developmental rate (with tko25t), with tko25t.tTa
bang sensitive (with tko25t), with tko25t.tTa
partially lethal - majority die (with tko25t), with tko25t.tTa
short lived (with tko25t), with tko25t.tTa
tko3 mutants exhibit a delay in eclosion and an increase in recovery time after vortexing (bang sensitivity).
Adult DL1 projection neuron homozygous single-cell clones target their dendrites correctly to the DL1 glomerulus and show considerable dendritic elaboration. However, the dendritic density in the glomerulus is reduced compared to wild type in 2-5 day old adults. In 30 day old adults, mutant DL1 projection neuron dendrites no longer occupy the centre of the DL1 glomerulus and instead some dendrites surround the glomerulus while others are outside of the antennal lobes. Axonal growth, guidance and terminal branching appears largely normal in anterodorsal projection neuron homozygous single-cell clones.
Adult mushroom body γ neuron single-cell homozygous clones show a mild reduction in the number of dendritic branches and dendritic claws compared to wild type. The number of short terminal axonal branches is normal in the mutant cells, while there is a significant increase in the number of long terminal axonal branches compared to wild type.
Mutants do not display a dominant Minute bristle phenotype.
tko3 homozygous females and hemizygous males are larval lethal and arrest development as first or second instar larvae. tko3/tko25t transheterozygous females are able to complete development but with an extremely long delay and majority fail to eclose successfully. The adults that manage to eclose are extremely lethargic, attempts at bang-sensitivity measurements lead to prolonged or permanent paralysis and most die shortly after eclosion.
tko3/tko25t transheterozygotes carrying additional one or three copies of the tko25t.tTa mutant allele on a transgene improved the phenotypic defects of the transheterozygotes: the developmental delay is reduced, greater fraction of the flies manage to eclose, the adults show long but measurable recovery times in the bang-sensitivity assay and greatly reduced adult lifespan.
tko3 has abnormal developmental rate phenotype, non-suppressible by Dp(1)weeb1
tko3 has bang sensitive phenotype, non-suppressible by Dp(1)weeb1
tko3 has abnormal developmental rate phenotype, non-suppressible by Dp(1)weeb2
tko3 has bang sensitive phenotype, non-suppressible by Dp(1)weeb2
tko3 has abnormal developmental rate phenotype, non-suppressible by Dp(1)weeb3
tko3 has bang sensitive phenotype, non-suppressible by Dp(1)weeb3
tko25t.tTa, tko3 has abnormal developmental rate phenotype, non-suppressible by Dp(1)weeb1
tko25t.tTa, tko3 has bang sensitive phenotype, non-suppressible by Dp(1)weeb1
A Dp(1)weeb1, Dp(1)weeb2 or Dp(1)weeb3 background gives a female phenotype that is still completely mutant, both for developmental delay and bang sensitivity.
Dp(1)weeb1/tko3 mutants retain a developmental delay even when an expressed, ectopic copy of tko25t.tTa is also present.
tko3 is rescued by tko25t-H85L.tTa
tko3 is not rescued by tko25t.tTa
