adherens junction (with tkvRNAi.IR1.UAS), with Scer\GAL4GMR.PF
Expression of tkvdsRNA.IR2.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4sd-SG29.1 results in mild expansion of wing vein material.
In pupal retinas tkvIR1.Scer\UAS; tkvIR2.Scer\UAS; Scer\GAL4GMR.PF at around 25 hours APF inter-ommatidial precursor cells fail to maintain stable, adherens junction mediated contacts with each, allowing abberant contacts to form between primary pigment cells in adjacent ommatidia. The affected inter-ommatidial precursor cells often fail to maintain a normal apical profile.
In tkvIR2.Scer\UAS; Scer\GAL4sd-SG29.1 adults, have thickened wing veins - with distal regions of L2 and L5 most severely affected..
Scer\GAL4sd-SG29.1, tkvRNAi.IR2.UAS has visible | adult stage phenotype, enhanceable by Scer\GAL4sd-SG29.1/pydRNAi.3.UAS

Scer\GAL4sd-SG29.1, tkvRNAi.IR2.UAS has wing vein | ectopic phenotype, enhanceable by pydtex2/pyd[+]
Scer\GAL4GMR.PF, tkvRNAi.IR1.UAS, tkvRNAi.IR2.UAS has retina | pupal stage P7 phenotype, enhanceable by Rho172F/Rho1[+]
Scer\GAL4sd-SG29.1, tkvRNAi.IR2.UAS has wing vein phenotype, enhanceable by Rho172F/Rho1[+]
Scer\GAL4sd-SG29.1, tkvRNAi.IR2.UAS has wing vein phenotype, enhanceable by shg[+]/shgR69
Scer\GAL4GMR.PF, tkvRNAi.IR2.UAS/tkvRNAi.IR1.UAS has interommatidial precursor cell | pupal stage P7 phenotype, enhanceable by Rho172F/Rho1[+]
Expression of pyd3.dsRNA.Scer\UAS strongly enhances the wing vein defects seen when tkvdsRNA.IR2.Scer\UAS is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4sd-SG29.1.
One copy of pydtex2 strongly enhances the wing vein defects seen when tkvdsRNA.IR2.Scer\UAS is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4sd-SG29.1.
The frequency of inter-ommatidial pattering defects in tkvIR1.Scer\UAS; tkvIR2.Scer\UAS; Scer\GAL4GMR.PF pupal retinas at 42 hours APF is significantly enhanced by Rho172F/+. This enhancement is not seen with Cdc42unspecified/+, Rac1unspecified/+, Rac2unspecified/+, or Mtlunspecified/+.
The wing vein thickening phenotype seen in tkvIR2.Scer\UAS; Scer\GAL4sd-SG29.1 adults is enhanced by Rho172F/+ or shgR69/+, but not by Cdc42unspecified/+, Rac1unspecified/+, Rac2unspecified/+, or Mtlunspecified/+.
