metathoracic les3 neuron & growth cone & filopodium, with Scer\GAL4elav.PLu
In Cdc42V12.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC; Scer\GAL4elav.PLu embryos, segmental nerve (SN)a motor axons (part of the abdominal posterior fascicle) misroute or stall before reaching their target muscles. SNb motoneuron axons (also part of the abdominal posterior fascicle) also stall prematurely, whereas intersegmental nerve (ISN) axons (anterior fascicle ) are normal. In Cdc42V12.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC; Scer\GAL4elav.PLu embryos, segmental nerve (SN)b motor growth cones have significantly longer filopodia, with higher rates of extension and retraction compared to wild-type. These animals also exhibit a significant increase in filopodial activity in LBD sensory neuron (innervating the Kolbchen) growth cones.
Cdc42V12.UAS.Tag:MYC, Scer\GAL4elav.PLu has abnormal neuroanatomy phenotype, non-suppressible by Pak11/Pak6
Cdc42V12.UAS.Tag:MYC, Scer\GAL4elav.PLu has larval abdominal segmental nerve phenotype, non-suppressible by Pak11/Pak6
The axon guidance defects seen in Cdc42V12.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC; Scer\GAL4elav.PLu embryos are unaffected by the background Pak6/Pak11.
