Statement
Reference
dar1[3232] contains a premature stop codon so that only a fragment of the N-terminal half of the protein can be produced, without the nuclear localization signal and zinc finger domains.

hide Detailed Description
Statement
Reference
In dar1[3232] mutants, major dendrites of class IV da neurons are either missing or shortened, consequently resulting in a reduced dendritic arbor. In contrast, the axonal growth of these neurons is normal. Dendrites of class I da neurons are also severely shortened. dar1[3232]/dar1[3010] mutants, generated by crossing dar1[3232] germline clones with dar1[3010] mutants show the same phenotype as dar1[3232] zygotic mutants, that is, the dendrites are reduced but the axons are normal. Dendritic defects are visible as early as 16-17 hours after egg laying and become more pronounced in 18-19 hours after egg laying, suggesting these mutants exhibit reduced outgrowth of dendrites. Single neurons homozygous for dar1[3232], generated through MARCM, exhibit severely reduced dendritic arbors, supporting the notion that dar1 functions cell-autonomously. Dendrites are dramatically reduced in all four classes of da neurons (class I-ddaD and ddaE, class II-ddaB, class III-ddaA, and class IV-ddaC). In contrast, there is no significant defect in axonal growth in these mutants.

The presence of dar1[+tYa] rescues the dendrite defects in both class IV and class I neurons mutant for dar1[3232].
