hide Detailed Description
Statement
Reference
Homozygous larvae show mean foraging path lengths on yeast paste which are significantly shorter than those of controls. The mean path length of homozygous larvae on a non-nutritive agar substrate is also significantly shorter than that of controls, indicating that general locomotion is affected in the mutant larvae.
Homozygous larvae show significantly more turning behaviour on non-nutritive agar than heterozygous or wild-type larvae. This "scribbler" behaviour is 64% penetrant in homozygous larvae and is not seen when larvae are foraging on a yeast and water paste (the behaviour only occurs on non-nutritive agar). sbb03432 animals show late-stage pupal lethality with 10% of the pupae emerging from the pupal case but dying within 3 days of emergence. These adult escapers lack part of the end of wing vein L5.
Larvae show abnormal locomotion on an agar surface: they travel a small area and their larval trails look as though they "scribbled" on the agar surface.

Comments
sbb03432 animals rescued by expression of sbbhs.PY are completely fertile. The sbb03432 wing vein phenotype is restored to normal when 4 (but not 2) copies of sbbhs.PY are present in flies reared at 25oC. 60% of the expected number of sbb03432 animals rescued by expression of sbbScer\UAS.cYa under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 emerge as fertile adults. The sbb03432 wing vein phenotype is not restored to normal in these flies. Expression of sbbScer\UAS.cYa under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 rescues the "scribbler" locomotor behaviour of sbb03432 larvae.

hide Comments
Excision of the P{PZ} element demonstrates that the P{PZ} insertion is responsible for the scribbler behaviour and lethality of sbb03432.
