Animals expressing br[Z3.Scer\UAS] under the control of Scer\GAL4[elav-C155] that hatch into larvae show normal morphology but sluggish movements. Most fail to feed and die during the first instar. Some larvae are able to feed and survive to the second instar, but they show little coordinated movement. Less than 1% of larvae expressing br[Z3.Scer\UAS] (using the P{UAS-br.Z3}216-1 line) under the control of Scer\GAL4[elav-C155] hatch, and they show reduced crawling even after stimulation. Unhatched embryos expressing br[Z3.Scer\UAS] under the control of Scer\GAL4[elav-C155] have no gross anatomical defects. Animals expressing br[Z3.Scer\UAS] under the control of Scer\GAL4[P2.4.Pdf] show abnormalities in the LN[[v]] neurons at metamorphosis, with the neurons in the mutant animals having a diffuse spray of neurites that extend to the midline (in contrast to the compact projection pattern of wild-type neurons which terminates well before the midline).
Animals expressing br[Z3.Scer\UAS] under the control of Scer\GAL4[Feb211] undergo normal larval and pupal moults. However, these animals fail to eclose properly, with their abdomens remaining in the puparial cases. Most animals expressing br[Z3.Scer\UAS] under the control of Scer\GAL4[Feb204] form puparia. All of the prepupae successfully pupate, with approximately 18% of them arrested at stage P7, 12% arrested as pharate adults, 14% partially eclosed and 56% fully eclosed. Approximately 53% of larvae expressing br[Z3.Scer\UAS] under the control of Scer\GAL4[P0206] become permanent first instar larvae which survive for 4-6 days. Of those larvae that ecdyse to the second instar, 81% are permanently arrested in the second instar, 19% ecdyse to the third instar and 1% form "L2 prepupae" which are characterised by their uneverted, single club-shaped anterior spiracles and small mouthhooks with a few teeth (characteristic of wild-type second instar larvae). Expression of br[Z3.Scer\UAS] under the control of Scer\GAL4[P0206] causes degeneration of the prothoracic gland portion of the ring gland by 2 days after ecdysis to the second instar. The corpora allata are unaffected. 63% of animals expressing br[Z3.Scer\UAS] under the control of Scer\GAL4[12.1] remain as first or second instar larvae.
