hide Detailed Description
Statement
Reference
Homozygotes show a dendritic tiling defect in class IV dendrite arborization (da) neurons, with 8.1 +/- 1.7% of dendritic branches crossing one another. In addition, the total number of dendrite branches is reduced to approximately 80% of wild type. Single-cell dorsal class IV da neuron clones that are homozygous for rictor[Δ2] (in a heterozygous background) show defects in dendritic tiling, with a significantly higher number of dendritic branches crossing one another compared to wild type. The v'ada and vdaB dendrites often invade neighbouring dendritic fields in homozygous mutants, in contrast to what is seen in wild-type controls.
rictorΔ1/rictorΔ2 flies are normal in appearance. rictorΔ2 flies raised under controlled conditions on a rich diet show a modest (approximately 10%) reduction in body weight and a modest reduction in tissue growth (wing area is reduced) compared to controls. rictorΔ1 flies raised on nutrient-reduced food show growth that is indistinguishable from that of wild-type controls raised under the same conditions.

The axon guidance phenotypes of Rheb[Scer\UAS.cPa], Scer\GAL4[elav.PLu] flies are not significantly rescued in a rictor[Δ1]/rictor[Δ2] background. The Rheb[Scer\UAS.cPa], Scer\GAL4[elav.PLu] synapse overgrowth phenotype is significantly rescued in a rictor[Δ1]/rictor[Δ2] background.
rictor[Δ2]/+ ; Sin1[e03756]/+ double heterozygotes have a dendritic tiling defect in class IV dendrite arborization (da) neurons, with a significantly higher number of dendritic branches crossing one another compared to wild type (neither single heterozygote shows this phenotype). rictor[Δ2] ; Sin1[e03756] double homozygotes show dendritic tiling defects in class IV da neurons that are indistinguishable from the single homozygotes. The dendritic branches of ddaC neurons in Tor[ΔP]/+ ; rictor[Δ2]/+ double heterozygous larvae show increased crossing over of each other, indicating a tiling defect. Class IV da neurons of rictor[Δ2]/+ ; trc[1]/+ double heterozygous larvae show defects in dendritic tiling, with a significantly higher number of dendritic branches crossing one another compared to wild type. Expression of trc[Scer\UAS.cUa] under the control of Scer\GAL4[ppk.PG] slightly reduces the dendritic tiling defects seen in ddaC neurons in rictor[Δ2] animals. Expression of trc[Scer\UAS.T:Myr1] under the control of Scer\GAL4[ppk.PG] significantly rescues the dendritic tiling defects seen in ddaC neurons in rictor[Δ2] animals. Expression of trc[T449A.Scer\UAS.T:Myr1] under the control of Scer\GAL4[ppk.PG] does not rescue the dendritic tiling defects seen in ddaC neurons in rictor[Δ2] animals.
The severity of the rough eye phenotype caused by expression of foxoScer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF is enhanced by rictorΔ2 at both 18 and 25oC. The overgrowth of the salivary gland that is seen larvae expressing Pi3K92EScer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC under the control of Scer\GAL4nub-AC-62 is suppressed by rictorΔ2. rictorΔ2 suppresses the overgrowth of the eye caused by homozygous Pten3 clones. rictorΔ2 does not suppress the overgrowth of the eye caused by homozygous Tsc1R453X clones.

Class IV neuron-specific expression of rictor[Scer\UAS.cHa] largely rescues the dendritic phenotypes of single-cell rictor[Δ2] class IV dendrite arborization neuron clones. Expression of rictor[Scer\UAS.cHa] under the control of Scer\GAL4[ppk.PG] largely rescues the tiling defects seen in v'ada and vdaB neurons of rictor[Δ2] mutants.
