Deletion of M1 to Y145.
Position of mutation on reference sequence inferred by FlyBase curator based on author statement: lkb14A4-2 contains a 589-bp deletion (associated with a 12-bp insertion) removing 150 bp of the 5' untranslated region, the start codon and the beginning of the ORF
oocyte & microtubule | germ-line clone
Lkb14A4-2 mutant class IV dendritic arborizing neuron MARCM clones display mild pruning defects at 18 h after pupariation.
Border follicle cell detachment and migration are disrupted in mosaic egg chambers containing homozygous follicle cell clones; either no border cell migration is seen, or it is incomplete. When the border cells do not complete their migration, border cells and anterior stretched follicle cells are mutant. Mutant border cells are closely associated with mutant anterior stretched follicle cells when the clusters do not detach from the anterior of the egg chamber.
lkb14A4-2 germ line clones cause loss of anterior-posterior polarisation of the oocyte. bcd and osk mRNA localisation fails. Mutant oocytes show loss of anterior-posterior microtubule gradient, with a high density of microtubules round the cortex and the lowest concentration in the centre. The progeny of these females are developmentally arrested before cellularization. A proportion of the mutant oocytes exit meiosis and adopt a nurse cell fate. The penetrance of this phenotype increases with age, suggesting perdurance of the lkb1 gene product in germ-line clones. Somatic clones in the ovarian follicle cells that are mutant for lkb14A4-2 show defects in polarity. In severely affected clones, the follicular monolayer is disorganized, with mutant cells rounding up and sorting out of the epithelium. This phenotype is penetrant in large stem-cell clones but not in small clones.

lkb14A4-2 heterozygous animals expressing Hsap\HTTQ138.Scer\UAS.T:Disc\RFP-mRFP pan-neuronally (under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155) exhibit an adult escaper frequency of 1.8% and 3.7% respectively. These animals are viable and have a relatively normal walking ability, although they do not inflate their wings.
The introduction of an lkb14A4-2 heterozygous background enhances the climbing ability of flies expressing Hsap\HTTQ138.Scer\UAS.T:Disc\RFP-mRFP under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155. However, this has no effect on controls.
Heterozygosity for lkb14A4-2 has no effect on the dopaminergic neuronal phenotypes in animals expressing LrrkI1915T.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4ple.PF.
The maternal effect embryonic phenotype of par-1k06821b/par-1W3 is enhanced by heterozygosity for lkb14A4-2.
