Reported as a C to T change at nucleotide 2614 of the foi cDNA, assumed to be RE41071. Mutation mapped to position 2615 of the cDNA, which corresponds to the C of a Glutamine codon.
foiC153/foiC153 mutant embryos display defective muscle patterning with missing muscles, morphological defects in dorsal, lateral and ventral groups of muscles, and a fusion defect shown by reduced size of the remaining muscles. The visceral mesoderm is defective, with loss of the gastric caeca and the anterior gut constriction, misplaced middle constriction, and in many cases a delay in the formation or failure to complete the posterior gut constriction, as compared to wild type.
foiC153 is rescued by foiUAS.cCa/Scer\GAL4Mef2.PU
Expression of foiScer\UAS.cCa under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PU fully rescues the muscle patterning and fusion, visceral mesoderm, and defective fusion-competent myoblast differentiation phenotypes of foiC153/foiC153 mutants.
