hide Detailed Description
Statement
Reference
wts[P1] mutants produce overgrown adult eyes.
The total number of photoreceptors, as well as the number of Rh5-positive and Rh6-positive photoreceptors is normal in the eyes of homozygous larvae.
Overgrowth is seen wts[P1] mutant wing discs collected 36-48 hours after the L2-L3 molt.
In wts[P1] mutants, ddaC dendrites are indistinguishable from wild-type controls at 24-28 hours after egg-laying. By 48-52 hours after egg laying, wts[P1] mutant dendrites tile the body wall as in wild-type. During the following 24 hours, however, wts[P1] dendrites disappear from the body wall, implying wts is required for maintenance of the already established tiling of dendrites.
wtsP1 eyes are missing yR8 photoreceptor cells and contain an expansion of the pR8 subset. Some R8 rhabdomeres are missing altogether in these eyes but this cannot account for the complete absence of yR8 cells.
Homozygotes exhibit embryonic or early larval lethality. wts tumour phenotype in mitotic clones: overproliferation and apical hypertrophy of epithelial cells leading to abnormal deposition of cuticle.

hide Genetic Interactions
Statement
Reference
A Df(1)djub[I]/+ genetic background modestly affects the wts[P1] eye phenotypes.
d[GC13] does not suppress the wing disc overgrowth seen in wts[P1] mutant larvae.
sev14; wtsP1 double-mutant retina show the same phenotype as wtsP1 eyes, with all R8 cells being specified as the p subtype. Df(3L)melt-Δ3, wtsP1 double mutants and sev14; Df(3L)melt-Δ3, wtsP1 triple mutants also show the wtsP1 phenotype.

Comments
Expression of wts[Scer\UAS.L.T:Hsap\MYC], under the control of Scer\GAL4[ppk.PG] largely rescues the dendritic phenotype of wts[P1]. Expression of wts[S920.T1083.Scer\UAS] under the control of Scer\GAL4[ppk.PG] fails to rescue the dendritic phenotypes associated with wts[P1] mutants.
