Statement

Under optimal conditions (20-30 isolated homozygous larvae per vial) about 60% of Dp(3;3)Karel homozygous larvae (Dp(3;3)Karel carries the Adgf-AKarel.3' and Adgf-AKarel.5' mutant alleles) reach the third instar. Development during the third larval instar is significantly delayed (wandering homozygous larvae appear about 2 days after their heterozygous siblings) and some homozygous third instar larvae can be found alive even after 10 days of development. Dp(3;3)Karel homozygous third instar larvae show fat body disintegration and have multiple melanotic tumours, predominantly in the caudal part of the body and accompanied by disintegration of the fat body. Melanisation of the lymph gland is not seen in these larvae and the imaginal discs and brain appear normal. The overall structure of the ring gland appears unaffected. Less than 30% of Dp(3;3)Karel homozygotes eventually pupate. Homozygous pupae usually die soon after pupariation, in some cases they develop normal head and thorax imaginal structures, but abdominal parts do not usually develop. The pupal abdomen has an abnormal curvature to the right. Less than 2% of Dp(3;3)Karel pupae develop normally and eventually emerge as adults. These adults do not have any obvious abnormalities besides the abdominal curvature, although some are sterile. Dp(3;3)Karel homozygous early third instar larvae contain a much higher number of "sessile hemocytes" (hemocytes attached to the tissues under the integument) than wild-type controls. Dp(3;3)Karel homozygous late third instar larvae contain an average of 7-fold more hemocytes in circulation than wild-type larvae. More than 75% of the mutant hemocytes are strongly adhesive when placed on a substrate (in contrast to wild-type larval plasmatocytes which remain rounded) and after being placed on a drop of hemolymph on a microscope slide, they develop filamentous and membranous extensions. 7% of the mutant hemocytes are lamellocytes (a cell type that is not present in the circulation of wild-type larvae under normal conditions) and the mutant larvae also contain excess crystal cells compared to wild-type. The lymph glands of the mutant larvae appear dispersed in the late third instar (dispersal of the lymph glands normally occurs during metamorphosis). Pupariation frequency in Dp(3;3)Karel mutants is restored to almost wild-type levels by treatment with 20-hydroxyecdysone, and the delay in development is also significantly reduced.
Homozygous Dp(3;3)Karel animals are mostly lethal in the late third larval instar and larval development is significantly delayed. Disintegration of the fat body is seen and most third instar larvae develop melanotic tumours. They rarely pupate, but those that do produce abnormal pupae. This phenotype appears to be due to Adgf-A loss of function (Dp(3;3)Karel carries two mutated copies of Adgf-A - Adgf-AKarel.5' and Adgf-AKarel.3') since it can be rescued by overexpression of an Adgf-A transgene.

l(3)hem1 suppresses some of the Dp(3;3)Karel mutant phenotypes; the number of circulating hemocytes in late third instar l(3)hem1 Dp(3;3)Karel double mutant larvae is significantly reduced compared to Dp(3;3)Karel single mutant larvae. In addition, only 40% of the double mutant larvae show disintegration of the fat body compared to 90% of Dp(3;3)Karel single mutants, and only 55% of the double mutant larvae have melanotic tumours compared to more than 83% of Dp(3;3)Karel single mutants. The delay in development, block in pupariation and abnormal shape of Dp(3;3)Karel pupae are not suppressed by l(3)hem1. Introduction of the AdoR1 mutation significantly increases pupariation and the adult emerging rate in Dp(3;3)Karel mutants. Developmental delay in the double mutant larvae is much less pronounced than in the Dp(3;3)Karel single mutant, with most of the double mutant larvae pupariating within 1 day after their control siblings. The disintegration of the fat body seen in Dp(3;3)Karel larvae is not altered by introduction of AdoR1, but the formation of melanotic tumours is significantly reduced. The total number of circulating hemocytes is not significantly changed in the double mutant larvae compared to Dp(3;3)Karel single mutants, but the number of lamellocytes is decreased and the number of crystal cells is normal. crqKG01679 Dp(3;3)Karel double mutant third instar larvae show a decrease in the total number of circulating hemocytes compared to Dp(3;3)Karel single mutants, although the number is still significantly increased compared to wild-type, and the cells show increased clumping. Lamellocytes are not detected in the double mutant larvae and the number of crystal cells is normal. The disintegration of the fat body and the formation of melanotic tumours seen in Dp(3;3)Karel single mutant larvae is completely suppressed in the double mutant. crqKG01679/+ Dp(3;3)Karel/Dp(3;3)Karel larvae show significant suppression of the fat body disintegration seen in Dp(3;3)Karel single mutants and rarely have melanotic tumours.

Induced with: Adgf-AKarel.3'. Induced with: MsiKarel.5'. Induced with: MsiKarel.3'. Induced with: Adgf-BKarel.5'. Induced with: Adgf-BKarel.3'. Created by a targeted recombination event, using P{TV2.FRT(ADGF-A2-.-A-.-B-.w+)} as the donor template. This construct is a donor template for "ends-in" targeted knockout of three genes (Msi, Adgf-A and Adgf-B). The targeted recombination event is expected to result in a duplication of the three genes, with the expected combination of open reading frames being: Msi (wild type), Adgf-A (mutant), Adgf-B (mutant), w (from the donor construct), Msi (mutant), Adgf-A (wild type), Adgf-B (wild type). The actual combination of open reading frames is: Msi (wild type), Adgf-A (mutant), Adgf-B (mutant), w (from the donor construct), Msi (mutant), Adgf-A (mutant), Adgf-B (wild type). This represents a duplication with conversion of wild-type Adgf-A to mutant.
