Detailed Description
| |||
Statement Reference 28% of Lar13.2/Lar5.5 mutants display a motor axon guidance phenotype known as "ISNb bypass" in which ISNb axons successfully split away from the ISN pathway at the exit junction, but can fail to grow into the muscle field at their normal entry point. Instead, such axons travel along parallel to the ISN, underneath the muscles, until they reach the dorsal edge of the VLM field. Homozygous and heterozygous larvae have fewer boutons (both type Ib and type Is) at the muscle 6/7 neuromuscular junction than wild type. Overall neuromuscular junction (NMJ) ultrastructure looks normal in homozygous larvae, but 61% of individual active zones are larger than the largest active zones found in wild-type NMJs and the mean total area of the mutant active zones is 2.5-fold greater than wild type. In Lar5.5/Lar13.2 mutants, some oocytes fail to elongate significantly. This phenotype is moderate in penetrance (14.1% defective stage 14 oocytes). No defects are seen in major aspects of oocyte patterning; both the micropyle and the dorsal appendages are formed in their correct positions, although the latter are often shortened relative to those of the wild-type. Similarly the oocyte nucleus is correctly positioned in the dorsal-anterior compartment in rounded oocytes. In Lar5.5 somatic clones in the follicle cells, defects are seen in cytoskeletal organisation. In cases where disruption in F-actin are evident, defects are always observed in both mutant cells and in wild-type cells surrounding the clone. Although global organisation of actin polarity is lost around these clones, actin filaments tend to be similarly polarised in adjacent cells. Actin polarisation in Lar5.5 germ-line clones is almost completely normal. However, egg chambers that contain somatic clones of mutant follicle cells display severely abnormal actin polarisation. These defects affect both mutant and wild-type cells. The genotype od the polar cells is not a determinant - cases of mutant polarisation surrounding wild-type polar cells are seen, the inverse (mutant polar cells surrounded by wild-type polarisation) is also seen. In mutant germline clones, region 2b cysts never fail to become lens-shaped and never contain more than one round of follicle in the process of budding. By contrast, when most of the follicle cells in region 2b and 3 are mutant (a relatively rare phenotype) then 62% of the germaria contain such defects. Homozygotes show an ISNb bypass phenotype at moderate frequency. Truncation phenotypes of the ISN. Most ISNs reach PT1 (persistent twi cell 1) but have small terminal arbors. Combining Ptp69D or Ptp99A mutants increases the penetrance and severity of the ISN defects, the ISN pathway is truncated at specific branchpoint positions. Triple mutants lacking Lar, Ptp69D or Ptp99A exhibit much stronger ISN phenotypes than any single or double mutant. Mutation affects SNb guidance and synaptogenesis within the VLM (ventrolateral muscle) field, a parallel bypass phenotype is observed (SNb axons grow alongside the ISN). SNbs fail to form the normal pattern of synaptic branches and exhibit navigation errors at the muscle field entry point. Growth alongside the ISN is likely to be due to inappropriately active Ptp99A rather than a failure of Lar-mediated VLM recognition. Lar, Ptp69D or Ptp99A triple mutants also exhibit fusion bypass phenotype of the SNb axons. Fusion bypass is seldom observed in any genotype in which Ptp69D is wild type. Removal of Ptp99A or Lar produces a 10- to 20- fold increase in the frequency of fusion bypass and an increase in complete stall phenotypes. Approximately half of the homozygotes die as late instar larvae, and the remainder die attempting to eclose. A striking number of mutant larvae initiate pupation in the food. Mature pupae struggle to eclose and die part way out of the pupal case. Mutant embryos show defects in SNb and SNd motor axon guidance (full and partial bypass phenotypes) and to a lesser extent in the CNS (thinning of the most lateral longitudinal fascicle). The penetrance of these defects in not 100%. The embryonic lethality of Lar5.5/Lar13.2 is overcome by LarScer\UAS.cKa driven by Scer\GAL4elav-C155. | |||

Statement Reference Lar[5.5] ckn[K.Δ324-331] double mutants exhibit an increase in frequency of the ISNb bypass phenotype from 31% in Lar[5.5] single mutants to 49% in double mutants.
Lar[5.5] ckn[K.Δ324-331] double heterozygous embryos display bypass phenotypes with 39% penetrance. Lar[5.5]/+ enhances the reduction in bouton number at the neuromuscular junction which is seen in Sdc[KG06163]/Df(2R)48 larvae (carrying Sara[Ubi.PJ] to provide Sara function). Sdc48/Sdc10608; Lar13.2/Lar5.5 mutants (in which Sara has been rescued by expression of the SaraUbi.PJ transgene) display an increased penetrance of the bypass phenotype (43% vs. 28%) relative to the corresponding Lar13.2/Lar5.5 transheterozygote. When SdcScer\UAS.cJa is expressed, under the control of Scer\GAL4how-24B, in a Lar13.2/Lar5.5 background, the SNa bifurcation phenotype seen when the transgene is expressed in a wild-type background is suppressed. Lar[5.5]/Lar[13.2] Ptp69D[1] Ptp99A[1]/Df(3R)Ptp99A[R3] triple mutant embryos show severe motor axon defects. The two inner bundles of the ventral nerve cord are very similar to that of wild-type, but the outer bundle, which develops later, is often discontinuous in late stage 16 triple mutant embryos. In addition, about one third of the ISNb nerves fail to leave the intersegmental nerve at the exit junction and continue to grow out along the common intersegmental nerve pathway in these triple mutant embryos. In most of these bypass hemisegments, only one intersegmental nerve branch is visible, and it is usually thicker than normal.
In Ptp10D[1] Lar[5.5]/Lar[13.2] Ptp99A[1]/Df(3R)Ptp99A[R3] triple mutant embryos the two inner bundles of the ventral nerve cord are very similar to that of wild-type, but the outer bundle, which develops later, is often discontinuous.
The Ptp10D[1] Lar[5.5]/Lar[13.2] Ptp69D[1] triple mutant embryonic phenotype involves ectopic midline crossing and longitudinal bundle fusion by the ventral nerve cord. The axons that abnormally cross the midline in the triple mutant embryos often grow diagonally to the other side without respecting the normal borders of the anterior and posterior commissures. In many cases, all of the connective axons appear to be rerouted across the midline, producing complete connective breaks.
Most of the ventral nerve cord axons abnormally cross the midline and the longitudinal bundles are almost absent in Ptp10D[1] Lar[5.5]/Lar[13.2] Ptp69D[1] Ptp99A[1]/Df(3R)Ptp99A[R3] quadruple mutant embryos. The longitudinal tracts are depleted of axons and the commissures are completely fused and much thicker than normal. No axons are ever observed to enter the ventrolateral muscle field in the quadruple mutant embryos.
In Ptp10D[1] Lar[5.5]/Lar[13.2] double mutant embryos, the normal SNa bifurcation is not observed in some hemisegments. This phenotype is only observed at low frequency.
Approximately half of the SNa nerves fail to bifurcate in Ptp10D[1] Lar[5.5]/Lar[13.2] Ptp69D[1] triple mutant embryos.
Approximately half of the SNa nerves fail to bifurcate in Ptp10D[1] Lar[5.5]/Lar[13.2] Ptp99A[1]/Df(3R)Ptp99A[R3] triple mutant embryos.
Approximately half of the SNa nerves either do not reach the bifurcation point at all or are very thin and wandering in Ptp10D[1] Lar[5.5]/Lar[13.2] Ptp69D[1] Ptp99A[1]/Df(3R)Ptp99A[R3] quadruple mutant embryos.
Approximately half of the intersegmental nerves terminate at the second lateral branch position in Ptp10D[1] Lar[5.5]/Lar[13.2] double mutant embryos. The remainder of the intersegmental nerves either terminate between the second lateral branch and the terminal arbor or make an abnormally small terminal arbor in these double mutant embryos.
Approximately half of the intersegmental nerves terminate at the first lateral branch point position and most of the remainder stop at the second lateral branch point in Lar[5.5]/Lar[13.2] Ptp69D[1] Ptp99A[1]/Df(3R)Ptp99A[R3] triple mutant embryos.
Only about 15% of the intersegmental nerves terminate at the first lateral branch point position and most of the remainder stop at the second lateral branch point in Ptp10D[1] Lar[5.5]/Lar[13.2] Ptp69D[1] Ptp99A[1]/Df(3R)Ptp99A[R3] quadruple mutant embryos. Ptp10D1; Lar13.2/Lar5.5; Ptp69D1 Ptp99AR3/Ptp69D8ex25 Ptp99A1 quadruple mutants have severely disrupted longitudinal tracts and most axons cross the midline. The bundles that cross the midline do not respect the normal boundaries of the commissures and the anterior and posterior commissures appear fused. No central nervous system abnormalities (by Fas2 staining) are seen in Ptp10D1; Lar5.5/Lar13.2 double mutant embryos. Mutation causes synergy of the Scer\GAL4elav-C155, Rac1N17.Scer\UAS full ISNb bypass phenotype. | |||

| Comments | Expression of Lar[Scer\UAS.cKa] under the control of Scer\GAL4[elav.PU] rescues the reduction in bouton number at the neuromuscular junction seen in Lar[5.5]/Lar[13.2] larvae, while expression under the control of Scer\GAL4[how-24B] does not rescue the mutant phenotype.
Expression of Lar[ΔFn2-9.Scer\UAS] under the control of Scer\GAL4[elav.PU] partially rescues the reduction in bouton number at the neuromuscular junction seen in Lar[5.5]/Lar[13.2] larvae.
Expression of either Lar[CSX2.Scer\UAS] or Lar[ΔIg123.Scer\UAS] under the control of Scer\GAL4[elav.PU] fails to rescue the reduction in bouton number at the neuromuscular junction seen in Lar[5.5]/Lar[13.2] larvae. | ||
