Reported amino acid change:

W518

Comment:

A TGG to TAG nonsense mutation at hpo codon W518; one of two amino acid substitutions in mutant. The other is a Leu to Val amino acid substitution between the kinase and autoregulatory domains; the postion of the Leu to Val change was not specified.

hpoKC202/+ adults are hyperactive when compared to controls.

hpoKC202 homozygous mutant embryos do not display any significant increase in the frequency of hemisegments with abnormal number of neurons in the asymmetrically dividing RP2 neural lineage. However, the type II brain neuroblast somatic clones homozygous mutant for hpoKC202 show defects in asymmetric cell division: mislocalization of asymmetrically distributed proteins as well as mitotic spindle orientation defects.

hpoKC202 mutants produce overgrown adult eyes.

hpoKC202/+ heterozygotes exhibit wild-type dendritic tiling, with wild-type levels of dendritic crossing points per υm[2].

hpoKC202 mutants exhibit 'overgrowth' phenotypes. The adult head is enlarged, with larger eyes and an expanded, fold cuticle found on the head and antennae. hpoKC202 mutant cells show overgrowth on the head cuticle, halteres, thorax, wings and legs. The position of pattern elements such as ommatidia, bristles and ocelli are relatively normal, with wild-type differentiation. hpoKC202 mutant clones in adult eyes exhibit a considerable increase in the spacing between photoreceptor clusters in mutant regions as compared with wild-type. This is due to a large increase in the numbers of interommatidial cells, which are evident in hpoKC202 mutant mid-pupal retina. These extra cells eventually differentiate into extra bristles and pigment cells. In contrast to the interommatidial cells, most hpoKC202 mutant ommatidia have normal numbers of photoreceptor, cone and primary pigment cells. The sizes of all cell types in hpoKC202 mutant eyes are normal, although the morphology of photoreceptors is often abnormal. The initial spacing of R8 cells and the number of photoreceptor cells per ommatidium is normal in hpoKC202 mutant clones. Mutant somatic clone cells in eye discs (through the control of Scer\FLP1ey.PB) that are almost completely mutant for hpoKC202 undergo synchronised cell cycles in the morphogenetic furrow, and progress through the second mitotic wave. In contrast to wild-type, mutant hpoKC202 cells fail to arrest in G1 and continue to proliferate after the second mitotic wave. This phenotype is cell autonomous as ectopic proliferation is restricted to uncommitted precursor cells and not observed in differentiating photoreceptor cells. In contrast to wild-type, hpoKC202 mutant clones lack apoptotic cells.

No significant increase in the proportion of hemisegments with abnormal number of neurons in the asymmetrically dividing RP2 neural lineage is is observed in cno2/+;hpoKC202/+ double heterozygous embryos compared to either of the single heterozygotes or wild type.

A Df(1)djubI/+ genetic background reduces the magnitude of hpoKC202 eye phenotypes.

Transheterozygotes for trc1/hpoMGH4 exhibit obvious iso-neuronal as well as hetero-neuronal tiling defects, including a significant increase in dendritic crossing-points compared to single mutants.

Transheterozygotes for trc2/hpoMGH4 exhibit obvious iso-neuronal as well as hetero-neuronal tiling defects, including a significant increase in dendritic crossing-points compared to single mutants.

hpoKC202 mutant clones partially suppress the cell death observed in eye discs that ectopically express Wunspecified.
