Description

Excision of DNA between the two P{lacW} elements present on the progenitor chromosome, removing the Tig gene. The breakpoints of the deletion do not extend more than 1kb beyond the original P{lacW} insertions.

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Embryos homozygous for Tigx have a subtle Fas2 fascicle phenotype in which axon tracts are wavy, and no midline axon guidance errors are seen. Fas2 labelling of the most lateral axon tract is interrupted between segments.

99% of homozygotes do not survive to adulthood. Most of the lethality is in the pupal phase. Adult escapers appear relatively normal, although they have elongated, misshapen abdomens. 7-8% of the escapers have wing defects, which include notched wings, deformed anterior margins, smaller and rounder wings than normal, and wavy posterior regions of the wing. Homozygous pupae are 16% longer than wild-type pupae. Pupation, defined by the appearance of a gas bubble in the abdomen, occurs, but dispersion of the bubble and head eversion fail to occur in about half the pupae. Muscle contraction waves that pass from the posterior to the anterior are much slower in homozygous first and third instar larvae than in wild-type larvae. Homozygous larvae have severe muscle defects. Muscles 6 and 7 appear stringy and are not anchored to other muscles or the epidermis. Often these muscles are missing or unrecognisable. Sites where muscles 3, 4, 5, 8 and 16 normally come together are rarely recognisable, and muscles 5 and 8 are usually missing. Large gaps are seen between muscles 9 and 10.

8% of pgant3c01318/Tigx double heterozygotes show wing blistering at 18[o]C.

Tigx/+, sli2/+ embryos do not show defects in heart formation.

Tigx has a semidominant interaction with sliunspecified, Fas2 labelling of fascicles between segments is reduced and midline guidance defects are observed in one in three segments.

Tigx ; rhea1 double mutant embryos have a severe muscle detachment phenotype compared to either single mutant.

Complementation and Rescue Data
Comments

The lethality of homozygotes is rescued by TigScer\UAS.cBa expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4c363, Scer\GAL4185Y or Scer\GAL4elav-C155. The time required for muscle contraction waves to pass from the posterior to the anterior of the larvae is rescued to wild-type by TigScer\UAS.cBa expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4unspecified. Bodywall muscle defects are rescued to wild-type by TigScer\UAS.cBa expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4c363. Adult abdominal and wing defects are rescued by TigScer\UAS.cBa expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4unspecified. The lethality of homozygotes is partially rescued by TigLGA.Scer\UAS expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4c363, Scer\GAL4185Y or Scer\GAL4elav-C155. A small amount of rescue of muscle defects is seen in homozygotes expressing TigLGA.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4c363. Some rescue of the time required for muscle contraction waves to pass from the posterior to the anterior of the larvae is seen in homozygotes expressing TigLGA.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4unspecified.
