hide Detailed Description
Statement
Reference
Mutants show overgrowth of the central part of the anterior region of the wing imaginal disc.
All flies carrying ptctuf-1 in trans to ptc37, ptc17, ptc16, ptc47 or ptc9 have severely reduced, rough eyes, a highly enlarged head vertex (ocellar triangle, fronto-orbital plate and frons), outgrowths of head cuticle and large numbers of missing, misplaced or ectopic head bristles. In addition around 9-50% of these flies have missing antennae and 10-56% have ectopic ocelli. ptcG12/ptctuf-1 heads are much like those just described except that head vertex enlargement is not so severe and ectopic ocelli are not seen. ptctuf-1/ptcH84 flies have mildly reduced eyes but a highly enlarged head vertex. 90% of these flies have outgrowths of head cuticle and large numbers of missing, misplaced or ectopic head bristles with the remaining 10% having no outgrowths and one or 2 displaced or missing bristles. Flies carrying ptctuf-1 in trans to ptc15 or ptc14 have mildly reduced, rough eyes and an enlarged head vertex. Around 30% also have one or two missing or misplaced head bristles. ptctuf-1/ptc559.1 have generally wild-type looking heads, with only 5% showing missing or misplaced head bristles. ptc34/ptctuf-1 and ptcS2/ptctuf-1 flies have enlarged eyes and enlarged head vertex (ocellar triangle, fronto-orbital plate and frons). Other head defects in these flies vary from outgrowths of head cuticle plus large numbers of missing, misplaced or ectopic head bristles to one or 2 misplaced or missing head bristles. ptc13/ptctuf-1 have enlarged eyes. The head vertex in these flies is of normal size, but all have outgrowths of head cuticle plus large numbers of missing, misplaced or ectopic head bristles. The zone of cell cycle arrest corresponding to the morphogenetic furrow (MF) is not significantly increased in late 3rd instar ptc13/ptctuf-1 or ptc37/ptctuf-1 eye discs compared to wild-type. However, its width is uneven along the length of the furrow, being particularly narrow at the equator and wider along the margins. The distribution of dividing cells either side of the MF is disorganized: dividing cells anterior and posterior to the furrow are closer together near the equator of the disc than at the poles. Compared with wild type, there is an approximately 2 fold increase in cell division ahead of the furrow in the mutants. This is particularly apparent in the ptc13/ptctuf-1 animals and thus could partially provide an explanation for the large-eye phenotype. In the eye discs of late third instar ptc16/ptctuf-1 larvae, apoptosis is increased in a broad swath of cells situated behind the furrow. ptc13/ptctuf-1 mutant eye discs also show increased cell death despite the resulting enlarged eye although it is not as extensive as in ptc16/ptctuf-1. Occasionally a vast amount of cell death is seen in the antennal disc of ptc13/ptctuf-1 animals.
homozygous and hemizygous mutants display distortion in the costal cell and an increase in the distance between the L3 and L4 wing veins. Mutants transheterozygous for ptctuf-1 and ptcS2, ptc13 or ptc34 show normal separation of wing veins L3 and L4, but display dramatic shape changes and abnormalities in the anterior margin. With ptc13 the wing becomes almost circular and the triple row bristles are replaced by double row bristles. With ptcS2, mirror duplications of the proximal half of the anterior wing are seen.
In ptctuf-1/ptcConf-1 flies the development of the central region of the wing is affected, vein 4 partially develops, and vein 3 is thickened.
ptctuf-1/ptc16 flies have extra bristles in the scutellum.
Coordinate mutant.
Heterozygotes with ptc16 and ptc9 display a variable phenotype including overgrowth of the anterior compartment of the wing, loss of costal structures and wing vein defects and loss of scutellar bristles. P{HSptc.S} construct can rescue the mutant phenotype. Viable. ptctuf-1/ptc9 and ptctuf-1/ptc16 heterozygotes display severe outgrowth of the anterior compartment of the wing disc, loss of costal structures, duplications or plexations of veins 1 and 2, increase of the distance between veins 3 and 4 and increase in the number of scutellar bristles.
Wings of ptctuf-1/ptctuf-2 grossly foreshortened and shaped like a ping-pong paddle; these flies also show duplications and triplications of anterior wing structures, lack costal bristles and have more head abnormalities than ptctuf-1 homozygotes. Extreme allele.
ptctuf-1 homozygotes display a variable wing phenotype, ranging from wild-type to loss of costal bristles and moderate duplication of the base of vein 1 and associated triple row bristles. ptctuf-1 in combination with lethal ptc alleles cause more extensive deletions of the costa and duplications of veins 1 and 2. Triple row bristles often show a change in orientation between the sites at which the duplicated veins touch the margin.
Flies have small tufts of hair between the eye and antenna, and show basal twinning of the anterior half of the wing.
