hide Detailed Description
Statement
Reference
Mutant flies are more resistant to tunicamycin compared to controls.
Mekk1[Ur36] mutant larvae exhibit a melanotic phenotype under normal food conditions. A "black dot" is seen in the posterior hindgut. The phenotype is exacerbated in response to salt stress.
Mekk1[Ur36] heterozygotes show enhanced w silencing in the In(1)w[m4] line. In contrast to controls, Mekk1[Ur36] mutant flies do not show relieved w silencing in the In(1)w[m4] line when embryos are exposed to heat-shock 0-3 hours after egg laying.
Mutant flies show normal levels of survival after infection after infection with E.coli, E.faecalis or A.fumigatus. Homozygous flies show a strong increase in sensitivity to oxidative stress induced by paraquat compared to controls.
Shows increased susceptibility to high osmolarity (0.2M NaCl). Effect less pronounced than reported in FBrf0139644. No immune reponse deficiency could be detected. Response to bacterial infection was not compromised. Wound healing appears normal.
Homozygotes and hemizygotes show no obvious morphological abnormalities. Response to heat stress and osmotic stress is defective. Viability of mutants relative to wild type is reduced by 20% at 30oC. Mutants die before eclosion when raised on 0.2M NaCl.

Statement
Reference
Mekk1[Ur36]/Mekk1[Ur36] partially suppresses the eye defects caused by expression of ninaE[G69D.Scer\UAS] under the control of Scer\GAL4[GMR.PF]. The massive apoptosis seen in the larval eye discs of animals expressing ninaE[G69D.Scer\UAS] under the control of Scer\GAL4[GMR.PF] is suppressed by Mekk1[Ur36]/Mekk1[Ur36]. The time course of retinal degeneration seen in ninaE[G69D]/+ flies is delayed in a Mekk1[Ur36]/Mekk1[Ur36] background.
