Detailed Description

Statement

Reference

Irbp^EX8/Irbp^EX8 third instar larval brains exhibit a similar frequency of cells with chromosome aberrations and no telomeric fusions compared to controls.

(Merigliano et al., 2017)

Heterozygotes have a normal lifespan.

(Tamura et al., 2011)

Homozygotes for Irbp^EX8 are hypersensitive to the chemical mutagen methyl methanesulfonate.

Homozygotes for Irbp^EX8 are mildly hypersensitive to gamma irradiation.

Many of the homozygous Irbp^EX8 flies have an excess of macrochaetae (large thoracic bristles) that are deformed or reduced in size.

Additional Comments

Genetic Interactions

Statement

Reference

Xenogenetic Interactions

Statement

Reference

Heterozygosity for Irbp^EX8 enhances the shortened lifespan phenotype caused by expression of Hsap\HTT^{103Q.Ex1.Scer\UAS} under the control of Scer\GAL4^GMR.long. This enhancing effect is seen in females but not males.

Flies expressing Hsap\HTT^{103Q.Ex1.Scer\UAS} under the control of Scer\GAL4^Rapgap1-OK6 in a Irbp^7B2/Irbp^EX8 background show an enhanced age-dependent decline in climbing ability compared to control flies.

(Tamura et al., 2011)

Complementation and Rescue Data

Rescued by

Irbp^EX8 is rescued by Irbp^+t13

(Johnson-Schlitz et al., 2007)

Comments

Irbp^+t13 rescues the chemical mutagen and gamma irradiation hypersensitivity of Irbp^EX8 mutants.

Irbp^+t13 rescues the excess macrochaeta phenotype of Irbp^EX8 mutants.
