Cultured primary neurons derived from ena[GC1] and ena[GC1]/ena[23] embryos show a significant reduction in the number of filopodia compared to control neurons. Mean filopodium length is reduced compared to wild type in these neurons.
The ISNb motor axon shows a bypass phenotype (the ISNb axons fail to enter the ventral longitudinal muscle field and instead bypass along the ISN root) in 99% of hemisegments in ena[GC1]/ena[GC5] embryos.
ena[23]/ena[GC1] and ena[210]/ena[GC1] embryos have reduced longitudinal axons in the central nervous system. Embryos that are both maternally and zygotically mutant for ena (ena[23]/ena[GC1] embryos derived from females with homozygous ena[23] germlines) proceed through gastrulation normally and have normal epithelial integrity. Segmental grooves are deeper than normal in these embryos and persist long after they should have regressed. The leading edge during dorsal closure is often uneven. Most of the embryos fail in head involution. Cells that should lead head involution appear to constrict far more than in wild type, nearly severing the head from the thorax. Mature embryos that are both maternally and zygotically mutant for ena (ena[23]/ena[GC1] embryos derived from females with homozygous ena[23] germlines) show defects in the cuticle; 10% have a dorsal pucker, 37% have a hole in the head, 15% have both a dorsal pucker and a hole in the head and 28% have a large ventral hole. Mature embryos that are both maternally and zygotically mutant for ena (ena[210]/ena[GC1] embryos derived from females with homozygous ena[210] germlines) show defects in the cuticle; 15% have a dorsal pucker, 36% have a hole in the head, 14% have both a dorsal pucker and a hole in the head and 7% have a large ventral hole. 75% of zygotic ena[GC5]/ena[GC1] mutant embryos have a wild-type cuticle, while 21% show puckering along the dorsal midline.
enaGC1/enaGC5 mutants exhibit approximately 2 defects in longitudinal axon guidance per animal. An average of 18% of segments show defects. No embryos exhibit defects in pCC/MP1.
enaGC5/enaGC1 embryos show modest levels of midline crossing errors by axons in the central nervous system.
Most enaGC1/ena210 embryos only have mild defects in head involution.
In ena210/enaGC1 mutant embryos, axons in the central nervous system appear to be less tightly fasciculated and commissural bundles sometimes appear abnormal and wander between commissures. Also there are occasional errors in midline guidance, and axon pathways that do not normally cross the midline sometimes do.
86% of ISNb axons show a bypass phenotype in enaGC1/enaGC5 embryos. This phenotype is partially suppressed by enaScer\UAS.cCa expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4neu.
Lethal in combination with enaGC5, ena23 or ena210.
Heterozygotes with enaGC8 have diffuse and loosely bundled longitudinal and commissural axon tracts. Some homozygous embryos exhibit thinning of longitudinal connectives, increased number of axons exciting the CNS from the longitudinal axons or failure of commissural axons to separate into anterior and posterior axon bundles. The overall organisation of the PNS is disrupted, spacing and organisation of the neurons is irregular and some clusters of neurons are mislocalised.

Statement
Reference
The penetrance of the ISNb stall phenotype seen in embryos lacking both maternal and zygotic Dab function (derived from Dab[1]/Dab[2] females and having Dab[1] as the paternally derived copy of Dab) is decreased by ena[GC1]/+ to 36%. The severe ISNb bypass phenotype seen in ena[GC1]/ena[GC5] embryos is not suppressed by Dab[1]/+.
A ena[GC1] background does not affect the Sema-1a[Scer\UAS.cYa] overexpression-induced hyperfasciculation phenotype.
The pupal eye patterning defect phenotype caused by the expression of cindr[dsRNA.Scer\UAS] driven by Scer\GAL4[GMR.PF] is enhanced by ena[GC1]/+.
The Scer\GAL4[elav-C155]/DAAM[C.Scer\UAS.P\T] gain-of-function phenotype (i.e the appearance of thicker commissures and nerve roots) is suppressed by a ena[GC1]/+ background.
When enaGC5/enaGC1 and homozygous dock3 are combined only a mild additive effect is see on the longitudinal exon guidance phenotype.
arm8/Y ; enaGC1/enaGC1 embryos have strong defects in dorsal closure and head involution, with no change in the segment polarity phenotype compared to arm8/Y embryos.
The addition of robo4/+ to ena210/enaGC1 mutants causes striking defects in central nervous system axon guidance. The anterior and posterior commissures are significantly thicker. longitudinal connectives are reduced and are sometimes closer to the midline. Also the pCC neuron frequently crosses the midline (which is not seen in wild-type or in ena210/enaGC1 alone).

Hsap\VASPScer\UAS.cADa partially rescues the lethality of enaGC1/enaGC5 flies when expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4e22c; 25-85% of flies are rescued depending on the Hsap\VASPScer\UAS.cADa line used.
