Detailed Description
| |||
Statement Reference Virtually all eggs derived from egg chambers containing complete homozygous follicle cell clones appear normal and have two dorsal appendages. argos[Δ7]/+ flies have normal eyes at 20[o]C. argos[Δ7]/argos[257], argos[Δ7]/argos[W11] and argos[Δ7]/argos[p1] flies have blisters in the eye.
Eggs derived from females with mosaic argos[Δ7] egg chambers have the normal number of two dorsal appendages.
Only 5% of eggs derived from argos[Δ7]/argos[W11] females have defects in dorsal appendage morphology, which include a reduced distance between the two appendages and appendages that are shorter than normal. argosΔ7/Df(3L)Exel6129 flies have eyes with a roughened appearance and prominent blistering along the posterior margin. argosΔ7 clones in the eye disc induce the formation of extra photoreceptor cells; 46.2% of ommatidia within these clones have 8 photoreceptor cells, 40.7% of ommatidia have 9, 11.1% have 10 and 1% have 11. Stage 15 argosΔ7 embryos have ~36 genital disc precursor cells, while wild type embryos have only 22 at this stage. Stage 16 argos[Δ7] homozygous embryos have more oenocytes per cluster than wild-type. Unlike rho[Scer\UAS.cdCa]; Scer\GAL4[en-e16E] the oenocyte clusters in these embryos do not show a multi-modal distribution of cell numbers with peaks corresponding to multiples of 3. Analysis of larval oenocyte precursor delamination shows that it occurs continuously rather than in widely spaced cycles with 3 delaminating cells per cycle as seen in wild-type. In the resulting oenocyte clusters terminal differentiation of some oenocytes is blocked or delayed. In argos5F4/argosΔ7 transheterozygotes 45% of adult ommatidia have extra photoreceptors. Many of the ommatidia with a normal complement of photoreceptor cells have polarity defects up to 59% of ommatidia are misrotated, while only 5% appear achiral and usually less than 1% have the wrong chirality. It appears that a transformation of mystery cells to photoreceptor R3/R4 is the cause of the extra photoreceptor cells. When the eye discs of these mutants are examined about 60% of immature clusters exhibit extra photoreceptor precursor cells. In row 7-8 the number of extra cells decreases to about 25%. In the adult only about 15% of clusters have ectopic R3/R4 cells. 63% of ommatidia in argosΔ7/argosA254Δ15 animals exhibit extra R cells. Of those that ommatidia that remain about 47% exhibit misrotations, about 10% exhibit achirality, and about 4% exhibit the wrong chirality. About 43% of ommatidia in argosΔ7/argos5F4 animals exhibit extra R cells. Of those that ommatidia that remain about 45% exhibit misrotations, about 5% exhibit achirality, and none exhibit the wrong chirality. About 11% of ommatidia in argosΔ7/argosrlt animals exhibit extra R cells. Of those that ommatidia that remain about 52% exhibit misrotations, about 1% exhibit achirality, and about 1% exhibit the wrong chirality. Of the misrotated ommatidia just less than half are underrotated. argosΔ7/argos05845 escaper adults have extensive blistering along the posterior edge of the eye. Extra EPCs (eve-positive heart associated or pericardial cells) and DA1 and DO2 founders (and subsequently muscles) are seen in mutant embryos. Additional founders of the P2 and p15 lineages of the developing embryonic mesoderm are seen. Homozygous clones in the adult abdomen do not show any consistent alterations of normal polarity. Ommatidial spacing is not affected in argosΔ7 somatic clones in the eye, even in very large clones. The number of chordotonal organs in the lateral cluster is increased from 5 to 6 in mutant embryos. In stage 11 embryos, the oenocyte precursor whorl is enlarged and contains many extra cells and by stage 16 oenocyte clusters containing 15-27 cells are seen. Homozygous clones in the eye disc that include several ommatidia show no defects in R8 precursor specification. Positioning of R8 precursors is unaffected by mutant cells in posterior columns. In larger clones that are more than 10 ommatidia wide the pattern of R8 specification is disrupted. Heterozygotes show a quantitative effect on wing shape in intervein regions C and D compared to wild type. Mutant embryos show a 'cyclops' phenotype in which the optic lobes are enlarged and show dorsal fusion. Homozygous embryos have missing or malformed H-piece structures. At stage 16 optic lobes are enlarged and fused. Frontal and hypocerebral ganglion are enlarged and the recurrens nerve is thickened. Germline clones fail to rescue the female sterile phenotype of Fs(3)Apc. Germline clones reveal no requirement for argos in the oocyte in patterning the egg, or in the viability or patterning of the embryo. Follicle cell clones cause a fused dorsal appendage phenotype. Larvae hatch from the eggs, with dorsal-ventral pattern unperturbed. argosΔ7/argosW11 hypomorphic females lay a significant proportion of eggs with fused dorsal appendages. Abnormal CNS axon pattern phenotype. An increase in number of midline glia and lateral chordotonal organs is also observed. The number of midline glia cells is increased to an average of 5.3 +/- 0.2 cells per segment in homozygous embryos. Additional small denticles are often found located anteriorly to the abdominal denticle belts in homozygous embryos, in the most extreme cases forming a complete additional row anterior to row 1. Extra small denticles are also found in row 6, resulting in a slightly higher density of denticles compared to wild-type. Transheterozygotes with Df(3L)st-g18 die before hatching. Transheterozygotes with Df(3L)st-k7 or Df(3L)st-f13 have rare escapers, adult survivors develop a characteristic eye phenotype, bulging of the posterior part of the eye that spreads into the anterior part. Homozygous clones in the eye cause extra outer photoreceptors, severity of the phenotype depends on the size of the clone. Homozygotes display severe disruption and broadening of the embryonic head skeleton, broadening of the ventral epidermis as shown by increased distance between the Keilin's organs. | |||

Statement Reference Heterozygosity for aos[Δ7] does not suppress the small eye phenotype caused by W[Ala5.GMR].
Expression of Ack[K156A.Scer\UAS] under the control of Scer\GAL4[GMR.PU] in conjunction with aos[Δ7]/+ does not suppress the small eye phenotype caused by W[Ala5.GMR].
Expression of Ack[Scer\UAS.cSb] under the control of Scer\GAL4[GMR.PU] suppresses the small eye phenotype caused by W[Ala5.GMR]. Further suppression is seen if the flies are also heterozygous for aos[Δ7]/+.
Animals expressing Ack[Scer\UAS.cSb] under the control of Scer\GAL4[GMR.PU] in a aos[Δ7]/+ background show a 25% increase in pigment cell number when assessed at 42% pupa development. One copy of aos[Δ7] enhances the reduction in wing blade area seen in homozygous sl[2] males.
One copy of aos[Δ7] significantly enhances the ectopic wing vein phenotype seen in sl[2] homozygotes.
One copy of aos[Δ7] dramatically enhances the percentage of sl[2] mutant ommatidia that contain extra R7 photoreceptors. The eyes also appear rougher than in sl[2] mutants alone. One copy of aos[Δ7] enhances the extra wing vein phenotype seen in sty[S73] heterozygotes at 29[o]C.
One copy of aos[Δ7] enhances the extra vein phenotype seen in rho-5[KO1] sty[S73] double heterozygotes at 29[o]C. The rough-eye phenotype observed in Fas2[EB112]/Fas2[e76] flies is enhanced by the presence of argos[Δ7]/+. The presence of a argos[Δ7] background significantly enhances ectopic wing vein formation found in csw[Y279C.Scer\UAS] (Scer\GAL4[tub]) mutants. argosΔ7 does not protect Df(1)su(s)R194/+ clones in the eye; Df(1)su(s)R194/+ ; argosΔ7 clones are not recovered in the adult eye in animals with mosaic eyes containing two genotypes of cells with respect to RpL36; cells which are Df(1)su(s)R194/+ and cells in which the haplo-insufficiency of Df(1)su(s)R194/+ for RpL36 has been rescued by RpL36+t4 (in a wild-type background the Df(1)su(s)R194/+ clones are eliminated by cell competition and are not seen in the adult eye in these animals). Also, argosΔ7 does not prevent apoptosis of Df(1)su(s)R194/+ cells in the wing. The extra photoreceptor cell phenotype of argosΔ7 clones is enhanced in argosΔ7 Gug14967 clones, with a greater percentage of ommatidia showing supernumerary photoreceptor cells. These extra photoreceptor cells are never R8 cells. In contrast, ru1 rho7M43 Gug14967 argosΔ7 mutant clones lack photoreceptor cells. The addition of argosΔ7/+ enhances the eye cell polarity phenotype seen in fz19/fz20 animals. Heterozygotes suppress the ommatidial polarity defects seen in Ras64BV14.Act5C. The eye blistering phenotype seen in argosΔ7/argos05845 escaper adults is enhanced by rno3/+, so that it covers much of the eye. The rough eye phenotype of Ras85DV12.sev flies is enhanced by argosΔ7/+. The notching seen in wings of N55e11/+ flies is not enhanced in argosΔ7/+ mutants. While Cct116919/+, argosΔ7/+ double heterozygotes have no eye defects, N55e11/+; Cct116919/+, argosΔ7/+ triple heterozygotes show an enhancement in the defective eye phenotype (loss of photoreceptor cells, defects in ommatidial polarity and chirality and a partial loss of the ventral eye) seen in Cct116919 mutants. salmunspecified argosΔ7 double mutant embryos have a dramatic chordotonal organ overproduction phenotype that is more severe than that seen in either single mutant. 9 or more lateral chordotonal organs per hemisegment are frequently seen, that are often (as in salmunspecified single mutants) scattered in lateral and dorsal positions. The double mutant embryos lack oenocytes. A argos[Δ7] background enhances the eye and wing vein phenotype of Scer\GAL4[GMR.PF] Cbl[Dv.Scer\UAS] mutants. Transheterozygotes with bulbp are semi-lethal, surviving adults display an eye phenotype. | |||
