Detailed Description

Reference

robo12/+ mutant flies exhibit temperature-induced mobility defects.

robo1/robo2 embryos exhibit gonad compaction defects and germ cell ensheathment defects.

robo1/robo2 mutants exhibit an ectopic midline innervation phenotype (with 100% penetrance for MN-LL1 and 89% penetrance for MN-DA3).

In robo2 embryos, the pCC axon rarely aberrantly crosses the midline.

As well as the interneurons, RP2 (normally an ipsilaterally projecting neuron) can project contralaterally. RP2 and pCC can bifurcate into ipsilateral and contralateral branches. RP2 can be misrouted posteriorly. Time lapse photography shows filopodia projecting across the midline for longer than in wild type. Longer filopodia are not restricted to pathway directions. These filopodia can lead to branched growth cones. Filopodial number is not affected. Heterozygotes show a filopodial length distribution that is intermediate between wild type and homozygous mutants.

Mutant phenotype of lateral chordotonal axons includes: shorter axons or defasciculated axons.

"Fuzzy commisure" phenotype in embryonic central nervous system.

robo1 Dys double heterozygous flies (robo12/Df(3R)Exel6184) do not exhibit indirect flight muscle degeneration.

robo12 DgO86 double heterozygous flies do not exhibit indirect flight muscle degeneration.

One copy of robo12 suppresses the indirect flight muscle degeneration seen when DysdsRNA.NH2.Scer\UAS is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4Act.PU.

One copy of robo12 suppresses the indirect flight muscle degeneration seen when DgdsRNA.Scer\UAS is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4tub.PU.

robo2/+ Sac11/+ double heterozygotes show a high frequency of ectopic midline crossings in the central nervous system.

Combination of either DgO86 or Df(3R)Exel6184 in heterozygous state with a single copy of robo12 does not significantly affect the frequency of lamina plexus defects in the third instar larvae.

One copy of robo12 weakly suppresses the detached posterior crossvein phenotype seen when DysdsRNA.NH2.Scer\UAS is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4Act.PU.

One copy of robo12 weakly suppresses the detached posterior crossvein phenotype seen when DysdsRNA.C.Scer\UAS is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4tub.PU but produces extra wing vein material.

One copy of robo12 enhances the posterior crossvein phenotype seen when DgdsRNA.Scer\UAS is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4tub.PU.

The pCC axon midline crossing phenotype of robo2 embryos is dramatically enhanced in robo2/+; exba2/+ embryos and in shot3, robo2/+ embryos. The phenotype is further enhanced in shot3, robo2/+; exba2/+ embryos.

Comments

The ectopic midline innervation phenotype found in robo1/robo2 mutants can be rescued by expression of roboScer\UAS.cKa under the control of Scer\GAL4eve.CQ2.

Comments

The 'robo1[2]' stock previously held at the Bloomington Drosophila Stock Center (number 8756) was found to contain the same mutation as the distinct and independent 'robo1[1]' allele, suggesting that the allele in the stock labeled as 'robo1[2]' was mis-identified. Stock number 8756 has since been discarded.
