Statement
Reference
Abl[1] mutants exhibit minor midline crossing defects.
37% of Abl[1]/Abl[4] embryos show abnormal crossing of the midline of Fas2-positive axons. Bouton number per muscle area is significantly increased at the larval neuromuscular junction in Abl[1]/Abl[4] and Abl[1]/Df(3L)st-j7 mutants compared to controls. The amplitude of both evoked excitatory junctional potentials (EJPs) and spontaneous EJPs (mEJPs) at the larval neuromuscular junction are unaffected in Abl[1]/Abl[4] larvae, but the frequency of mEJPs is increased by 57% compared to controls. General features of synapse structure (including bouton morphology, active zones with T-bars and the structure of subsynaptic reticulum) appear unaffected at the neuromuscular junction of Abl[1]/Abl[4] larvae. However, the average density of the total synaptic vesicles is decreased by 50% in the mutant boutons. In addition, enlarged, but electron-clear vesicles are often seen near the T-bar.
1.2% of segments have thin/missing commissures and 5.4% of segment have commissures with pathfinding errors in Abl1/Abl4 embryos.
96% of the expected number of Abl1/Abl4 pupae are observed, while 56% of the expected number of Abl1/Abl4 adults are observed. 3% of segments have commissure defects in the central nervous system of Abl1/Abl4 embryos.
Homozygous embryos show ectopic crossing of the midline by axons in the central nervous system. The most lateral Fas2-positive fascicle is often thin or missing.
Abl1 embryos derived from homozygous Abl1 female germline clones (lacking both maternal and zygotic Abl function) die at the end of embryogenesis, while embryos derived from homozygous Abl1 female germline clones that receive a wild-type paternal copy of Abl survive to adulthood. Abl1 mutant embryos derived from homozygous Abl1 female germline clones show a range of defects. 1% are "U-shaped", showing a complete failure of germband retraction. 13% have a "tail-up" phenotype, showing strong defects in germband retraction and also often have defects in dorsal closure. 67% have defects in dorsal closure ranging from dorsal holes to defects in the dorsal pattern. 1% have severe defects in head involution, most in this class also show defects in dorsal closure and/or germband retraction.
In Abl1/Abl4 mutant larvae the ISNb fails to innervate muscle.
Abl1/Abl4 mutants show mild defects in axon pathfinding in the longitudinal connectives which may be thinned and uneven.
ISNb growth cones fail to reach the distal target (muscle 12) in 63% of hemizygous embryos, although contacts with muscles 6,7 and 13 appear grossly normal. 53% of ISNb growth cones terminate before reaching muscle 12 in homozygous embryos. The Fas2-positive longitudinal fascicles of the central nervous system are disorganised in hemizygous embryos, with breaks in the most lateral fascicle being common.
Shows 41% viability when heterozygous with Df(3L)st-j7.
Homozygous embryos have a normal central nervous system.

Abl[1]/+ partially rescues the ISNb defasiculation defects seen in homozygous EndoGI[cwk] embryos.
A Abl[1] heterozygous background dominantly enhances the commissural defect seen in tutl[ex383] mutant embryos. tutl[ex383]; Abl[1] double homozygous embryos exhibit commissural axon defects, with an extreme reduction in commissure formation and fragmented longitudinal connectives.
The frequency of the midline crossing defect seen in Fas-expressing axons in Abl[1]/Abl[4] embryos is suppressed from 37% to 18% by Abi[P2]/+. The increased bouton number per muscle area that is seen at the neuromuscular junction of Abl[1]/Abl[4] larvae is not suppressed by ena[GC5]/+. The increased bouton number per muscle area that is seen at the neuromuscular junction of Abl[1]/Abl[4] larvae is significantly suppressed by Abi[KO]/+. This suppression further increased if the flies are also carrying ena[GC5]/+. The increased bouton number per muscle area that is seen at the neuromuscular junction of Abl[1]/Abl[4] larvae is not suppressed by Hem[C3-20]/+. The increased bouton number per muscle area that is seen at the neuromuscular junction of Abl[1]/Abl[4] larvae is suppressed by SCAR[Δ37]/+.
The frequency of the loss of commissure phenotype seen in Abl1/Abl4 embryos is not enhanced by fra4/+, but the frequency of commissures with pathfinding errors is increased in the fra4/+; Abl1/Abl4 embryos compared to Abl1/Abl4.
Khc16/+ ; Abl1/+ double heterozygous larvae show posterior paralysis or "tail-flipping" and show an increase in the size and abundance of axonal swellings. Khc16/ena210 ; Abl1/+ triple heterozygous larvae do not show a tail-flipping phenotype and there is a marked reduction in axonal swellings compared to Khc16/+ ; Abl1/+ double heterozygous larvae.
Abl1 AmaM109/Df(3R)MAP11 embryos develop normal cuticles. Abl1 AmaM109/Abl4 animals do not survive to the pupal stage. AmaM109/+ increases the frequency of commissure defects in the central nervous system of Abl1/Abl4 embryos; 31% of segments have commissure defects in the double mutant embryos. Survival to pupation and the percentage of segments with commissure defects in the central nervous system in Abl1/Abl4 animals is not dramatically altered by Df(3R)ama/+. 104% of the expected number of Abl1 AmaR1/Abl4 pupae are observed, while 67% of the expected number of Abl1 AmaR1/Abl4 adults are observed. 4% of segments have commissure defects in the central nervous system of Abl1 AmaR1/Abl4 embryos. 23% of segments have commissure defects in the central nervous system of Abl1 AmaR1/Abl4 Df(3R)ama embryos. 86% of segments have commissure defects in the central nervous system of Abl1 AmaM109/Abl4 Df(3R)ama embryos. 31% of segments have commissure defects in the central nervous system of Abl1 NrtM54/Abl4 embryos. 36% of segments have commissure defects in the central nervous system of Abl1 NrtM100/Abl4 embryos. 63% of segments have commissure defects in the central nervous system of Abl1 NrtM54/NrtM2 Df(3L)st-j7 embryos.
The midline crossing errors seen in the central nervous system of Abl1/Abl1 embryos are suppressed by Lar13.2/Lar13.2.
Heterozygosity for shg2 results in lethality in Abl1/+ embryos derived from homozygous Abl1 female germline clones. Heterozygosity for shgR69 results in lethality in Abl1/+ embryos derived from homozygous Abl1 female germline clones. Heterozygosity for scb2 does not result in lethality in Abl1/+ embryos derived from homozygous Abl1 female germline clones.
Dominantly suppresses the "bypass" phenotype of ISNb axons in Larbypass/Larbypass, Larbypass/Lar5.5, Larbypass/Lar13.2 or Larbypass/LarE55 embryos. The ISNd bypass phenotype of Larbypass/LarE55 embryos is also suppressed by Abl1.
Viability of Abl1/Df(3L)st-j7 flies is reduced to <1.5% when combined with Nl1N-ts1 at 18oC. Affected embryos do not show a neurogenic or antimyogenic phenotype. The gross morphology of the embryos is normal but they show axonal defects in all axon tracts known to require N function: CNS longitudinal tracts between neuromeres and the lateral portion of the ISN. Defects are evident from stage 13, in the combined MP fascicle. The nerve frays and stalls precisely as it attempts to grow along the trachea. The LG5 glial cell is present. Neurons aCC MP1 pCC dMP2 and vMP2 are all present. Pioneer neuron identity is unaffected (as assayed by ftz, eve, odd, Fas2 and pros expression). Heterozygotes of Df(1)N-8 or N55e11 with Abl1, NrtM54 or In(3L)std11 show defects in eye development leading to rough eyes with high penetrance.
Mutants exhibit a relatively normal axon scaffold with minor defects: thin connectives and commissures. In combination with Df(3R)T-47/Df(3R)kar-D1 mutants exhibit severe axonal defects in which the longitudinals and commissures are thin or absent. Axons are disorganised and bulging.
arm4; Abl1/Abl4 embryos show disruptions in axonogenesis, including fused or missing commissures. The defects become more severe as development proceeds, such that, by stage 16, the central nervous system is dramatically disrupted. arm3; Abl1/Abl1 embryos show disruptions in axonogenesis, including segmental gaps along the longitudinal nerves. Abl+mTnabl significantly reduces the central nervous system defects of arm4; Abl1/In(3L)std11 embryos. Abl1/Df(3L)st-j7 suppresses the segment polarity phenotype of hemizygous arm4 embryos.
The pupal lethality of hemizygous flies is not affected if the flies are also mutant for Ptp99A (Ptp99AHA64/Ptp99AR3.
fax mutations dominantly enhance the mutant phenotype, shift the lethal phase to a prepupal stage. This phenotype can be moderately rescued by Abl+mTnabl-lys and completely rescued by Abl+mTnabl.
Abl1/Df(3L)st-j7 NrtM2 double mutant causes absence of most intersegmental longitudinal axon bundles and most commissural axon bundles. The loss of pros has an additive effect on the mutant phenotype. Loss of Abl function does not detectably alter pros mutant phenotype.
Abl1, Fas1TE89Da mutant embryos exhibit gross defects in the developing CNS, axon guidance and the morphogenesis of CNS axon tracts: an allele specific interaction.
