Mutation in the splice acceptor site of common exon 6. The mutant splice site is skipped, and the next AG-site inside exon 6 is used as a splice acceptor instead. This results in a 15bp deletion which removes the amino acid residues IINVK of the SH3 domain without affecting the reading frame.
Mutation in the fourth common intron splice acceptor site.
Nucleotide substitution: G?A.
G20790553A
G?A
Mutation in the fourth common intron splice acceptor site.
vari327 homozygous as well as vari327/variR3 and vari327/vari48EP transheterozygous embryos display increased frequency of defasciculation defects in intersegmental nerve b motor axons (and as demonstrated for the homozygotes, in segmental nerve a and in intersegmental nerve); no significant increase in axon guiding defects is observed in vari327 heterozygotes.
Mutants show defects in septate junction barrier function (as tested using a dye exclusion assay).
Mutants have strong tracheal defects.

Expression of varilong.Scer\UAS controlled by either Scer\GAL4repo or Scer\GAL4sca-537.4 actually increases the frequency of defasciculation defects in vari327 embryos.
vari327/+;pbl2/+ double heterozygous embryos display high frequency of axon guidance defects in intersegmental nerve b (no such effect is observed in vari327/+,Df(2R)B65/+ embryos) and the moderate axon pathfinding defects observed in either cherQ1042X or Sema1ak13702 heterozygous embryos are enhanced by combination with a single copy of vari327.
The very strong defects observed in Sema1ak13702 homozygotes cannot be worsened further by vari327 homozygosity.

Expression of varilong.Scer\UAS under the control of either Scer\GAL4elav.PLu or Scer\GAL4VGlut-OK371 significantly rescues the axon guidance defects observed in intersegmental nerve b motor axons of vari327 mutant embryos. Expression controlled by either Scer\GAL4repo or Scer\GAL4sca-537.4 not only doesn't improve the defasciculation defects in vari327 embryos but actually increases their frequency. In contrast, expression of either varishort.Scer\UAS (with any of these: Scer\GAL4elav.PLu, Scer\GAL4sca-537.4, Scer\GAL4repo drivers) or variΔPDZ.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 (driven by Scer\GAL4elav.PLu) does not significantly improve the axon guidance defects.
