Statement

Reference

Imprecise excision of the P{EP} insertion in Mlf^EU2490, resulting in a 2kb deletion removing nucleotides -356 to +1716 of Mlf (coordinates relative to the transcription start site of isoforms A,B and D).

Detailed Description

Statement

Reference

Crystal cell maintenance is impaired in both Mlf^Δ5-3/Mlf^ΔC1 and homozygous Mlf^Δ5-3 embryos resulting in a progressive decrease in crystal cell numbers. In contrast, the number of crystal cells in homozygous Mlf^Δ5-3 third instar larvae is increased compared with wild-type.

(Bras et al., 2012)

83.3% of animals derived from a cross of homozygous females to homozygous males die as embryos, whereas 64.4% of animals derived from a cross of homozygous females to wild-type males die, indicating that that maternal effect lethality is partially rescued by a paternal Mlf⁺ copy. Embryos derived from a cross of heterozygous females to wild-type males have reduced viability (38.7% of these animals die as embryos) compared to controls. 90.0% of animals derived from a cross of homozygous Mlf^Δ5-3 females to homozygous Mlf^ΔC1 males die as embryos. Homozygous adults lack interocellar bristles and the head macrochaetae are frequently bent or shortened. Ectopic venation is seen in the wing near longitudinal vein 2.

Statement

Reference

Mlf^Δ5-3/Mlf[+] is a non-suppressor of short lived | RU486 conditional phenotype of Hsap\ATXN3^{tr.Q78.UAS.Tag:HA}, Scer\GAL4^{elav.Switch.PO}

Additional Comments

Genetic Interactions

Statement

Reference

Expression of lz^Scer\UAS.cBa under the control of Scer\GAL4^lz-gal4 suppresses not only the drop in crystal cell number in Mlf^Δ5-3 mutant embryos, but also the rise in crystal cell number in Mlf^Δ5-3 larvae.

(Bras et al., 2012)

Xenogenetic Interactions

Statement

Reference

Expression of Hsap\MLF1^{Scer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG} under the control of Scer\GAL4^lz-gal4 suppresses the hematopoietic defects in homozygous Mlf^Δ5-3 embryos.

(Bras et al., 2012)

The reduction in life span that is seen in flies expressing Hsap\ATXN3^{tr.Q78.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1} under the control of Scer\GAL4^{elav.Switch.PO} in the presence of RU486 is not modified by the addition of Mlf^Δ5-3/+.

Complementation and Rescue Data

Rescued by

Mlf^Δ5-3/Mlf^ΔC1 is rescued by Mlf^UAS.cFa

(Bras et al., 2012)

Mlf^Δ5-3 is rescued by Mlf^UAS.cFa

(Bras et al., 2012)

Comments

Expression of Mlf^Scer\UAS.cFa under the control of Scer\GAL4^lz-gal4 rescues the crystal cell phenotype of both Mlf^Δ5-3/Mlf^ΔC1 and homozygous Mlf^Δ5-3 mutants.
