When plexBScer\UAS.cHa is driven by Scer\GAL4elav.PLu, a specific phenotyper is seen in the motor nerve branches. A striking defect is seen in the ability of the ISNb motor axons to innervate the ventral longitudinal muscles 7, 6, 13, and 12. The RP3 axon frequently fails to defasciculate from the ISNb motor nerve branch as a result muscles 7 and 6 are uninnervated. ISNb axons often fail to reach their distal-most target muscle 12. These phenotypes are dose dependant.

Expression of plexBScer\UAS.cHa under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 is unable to rescue any of the ISNb, SNa or CNS defects observed in Df(4)C3 mutants.
Df(4)C3 defects, affecting the ISNb andSNa are enhanced by 19% and 25% respectively, when plexBScer\UAS.cHa is expressed (under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155).
The Intersegmental nerve and RP3 nerve phenotypes have an increased penetrance when Df(3L)Ar14-8 or trioS137203 is added to plexBScer\UAS.cHa, Scer\GAL4elav.PLu flies. The addition of Df(3L)ru-22 has no effect. the addition of Rac1Scer\UAS.cLa or PakScer\UAS.cHa to plexBScer\UAS.cHa, Scer\GAL4elav.PLu flies suppresses the intersegmental nerve and RP3 nerve phenotypes. The addition of Cdc423 to plexBScer\UAS.cHa, Scer\GAL4elav.PLu files has no effect on the intersegmental nerve and RP3 nerve phenotypes. the addition of Rho1rev220 or Rho1k07236 to plexBScer\UAS.cHa, Scer\GAL4elav.PLu flies suppresses the intersegmental nerve and RP3 nerve phenotypes. The addition of plexBScer\UAS.cHa to Rac1N17.Scer\UAS, Scer\GAL4elav.PLu flies enhances the ISNb bypass phenotype seen in these flies.
Scer\GAL4PlexB-MI15559-TG4.1/PlexBUAS.cHa partially rescues PlexBKG00878/PlexBMI15559-TG4.1
Expression of PlexBUAS.cHa under the control of Scer\GAL4PlexB-MI15559-TG4.1 almost completely rescues prior to eclosion lethality and partially rescues after eclosion lethality phenotypes of PlexBKG00878/PlexBMI15559-TG4.1 transheterozygotes.
Expression of plexBScer\UAS.cHa in all neurons in a plexBKG00878 homozygous background, under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155, significantly rescues the intersegmental nerve b (ISNb) motor axon defects. Restoring plexB to all neurons also rescues the lethality associated with the plexBKG00878 mutants (16.8% homozygous viable progeny compared to 5.7% of the plexBKG00878/+ x Df(4)M101-62f/+ crossing being homozygous viable progeny).
Expression of plexBScer\UAS.cHa in all neurons in a plexBKG00878 homozygous background, under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155, significantly reduces the number of SNa defects by over 50%.
Expression of plexBScer\UAS.cHa in all neurons in a plexBKG00878 homozygous background, under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 rescues the severe defasciculation of the medial Fas2-stained longitudinal fascicle.
