Statement
Reference
An "ends-out" targeted recombination event at the mir-9a locus, using P{FRT(w+.mir-9aw.Scer\SceI.RS)} as the donor template, resulting in the replacement of the 78bp mir-9a precursor DNA sequence with w+ sequences.

hide Detailed Description
Statement
Reference
Homozygotes and mir-9a[J22]/mir-9a[E39] animals lack approximately 50% of the posterior wing margin in all individuals and approximately 10% of animals also show mild loss of anterior wing margin. Abundant cell death is seen in the wing pouch region of the wing disc in mir-9a[J22]/mir-9a[E39] third instar larvae, in contrast to wild-type controls. Cell death is not seen in the pronotum region of the disc in the mutant larvae. Homozygous and mir-9a[J22]/mir-9a[E39] adults show a mild increase in notum microchaete density compared to controls. mir-9a[J22]/mir-9a[E39] adults often have ectopic dorsocentral and anterior postalar bristles.
mir-9a[J22] homozygous flies lack anterior and posterior wing margins. Heterozygotes show normal wing development.
Homozygous mir-9a[J22] mutants exhibit posterior wing margin defects. No defects are seen in heterozygous mir-9a[J22] flies.
29% of mir-9aJ22 third instar larvae have an extra ddaE or ddaF neuron in one or two but not other hemisegments. Mutant adults lack the posterior wing margin (100% penetrance), while the veins are normal in appearance. The anterior wing margin contains ectopic sensory bristles in about 40% of mutant flies. 14.3% of mutant flies have 3-4 scutellar bristles per heminotum (instead of the wild-type number of 2 per heminotum). These extra bristles have normal shaft and socket cells and are accompanied by a sensory neuron. Mutant third instar wing discs have a high frequency of ectopic sensory organ precursors (SOPs) in the notum region.

Statement
Reference
Expression of th[Scer\UAS.cHa] under the control of Scer\GAL4[ap-md544] completely rescues the wing notching phenotype of mir-9a[J22]/mir-9a[E39] animals. sens[E2]/+ results in an approximately 35% reduction in the loss of wing margin caused by mir-9a[J22]/mir-9a[E39]. sens[E2]/+ does not rescue the increased cell death seen in the wing discs of mir-9a[J22]/mir-9a[E39] animals. Bx[hdpR26]/+ fully rescues the adult wing margin defects of mir-9a[J22] homozygotes and mir-9a[J22]/mir-9a[E39] animals. Bx[hdpR26]/+ strongly suppresses the ectopic apoptosis seen in the wing discs of mir-9a[J22]/mir-9a[E39] animals. The presence of Bx[hdpR26]/+ partially suppresses the formation of ectopic anterior postalar bristles seen in mir-9a[J22]/mir-9a[E39] adults, but has only mild effects on the formation of ectopic dorsocentral bristles seen in these flies. sens[E2]/+ partially suppresses the formation of ectopic dorsocentral and anterior postalar bristles seen in mir-9a[J22]/mir-9a[E39] adults.
The loss of wing margin seen in mir-9a[J22] flies is completely suppressed by Bx[hdp-n60]. The wing margin phenotype seen in Bx[D124]/Y and Bx[D128]/Y flies is enhanced by mir-9a[J22]/+.
One copy of sensE58 substantially rescues the wing margin defects of mir-9aJ22 homozygotes; about 30% of the double mutant flies have wings that are indistinguishable from wild type, while others lack only a small part of the posterior margin. The bristles on the anterior wing margin resemble wild type in the double mutant flies.

Statement
Reference
Expression of BacA\p35[Scer\UAS.cHa] under the control of Scer\GAL4[ap-md544] completely rescues the wing notching phenotype of mir-9a[J22]/mir-9a[E39] animals.
A mir-9a[J22]/+ background enhances the wing margin defects seen when Avic\GFP[EGFP.Scer\UAS-mir-9aSP] is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4[αTub84B.PL]. Expression of Avic\GFP[EGFP.Scer\UAS-mir-9aSP] along the dorsal-ventral boundary of the wing disc using Scer\GAL4[vg.PM] fails to rescue the wing margin phenotype seen in mir-9a[J22] homozygous mutants.

Comments
Expression of mir-9a[Scer\UAS.cLa] under the control of Scer\GAL4[ap-md544] completely rescues the continuity of the wing margin in mir-9a[J22]/mir-9a[E39] animals. In the developing wing disc, the increased apoptosis seen in the wing pouch in mir-9a[J22]/mir-9a[E39] animals is rescued in the dorsal compartment by expression of mir-9a[Scer\UAS.cLa] under the control of Scer\GAL4[ap-md544].
