    Description

    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.

    Detailed Description
    Statement
    Reference

    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.

    Comments

    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.
