hide Detailed Description
Statement
Reference
Cultured primary neurons derived from DAAM[Ex1]/DAAM[Ex68] embryos show a significant reduction in the number of filopodia compared to control neurons. In live analyses, the mutant neurons show modestly increased protrusion rates and strongly increased retraction rates of filopodia.
DAAMEx1 flies show 17% viability compared to wild-type flies. DAAMEx1/DAAMEx249 adults show no defects in the eye or wing. Trachea dissected out from third instar DAAMEx1 mutant larvae display a moderate tracheal cuticle phenotype.

Statement
Reference
Cultured primary neurons derived from DAAM[Ex1]/DAAM[Ex68] Sop2[1] embryos show a very strong reduction in the number of filopodia (to 5% of the wild type average) compared to control neurons. Only 20% of cultured primary neurons derived from DAAM[Ex1]/DAAM[Ex68] Sop2[1]/Sop2[Q25sd] embryos have neurites.
The tracheal cuticle phenotype of DAAMEx1 larvae is enhanced by Rho172F, Src42AE1 and Btk29Ak05610. These alleles also decrease the viability of the semilethal DAAMEx1 larvae.
hide Xenogenetic Interactions
Statement
Reference
Expression of Mmus\Daam1[Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP] pan-neuronally under the control of Scer\GAL4[elav-C155] results axon defects in 70% of DAAM[Ex68]/DAAM[Ex1] progeny (where both maternal and zygotic DAAM is removed).

Comments
The CNS defects revealed in DAAM[Ex68]/DAAM[Ex1] mutants are fully rescued when DAAM[Scer\UAS.P\T.cMa] is expressed under the control of the pan-neuronal Scer\GAL4[elav-C155] or the ubiquitous Scer\GAL4[Act5C.PI] driver.
