hide Detailed Description
Statement
Reference
Central nervous system axons are seen to cross the midline in Abl2 captk01217 double heterozygous embryos. The frequency of ectopic crossing of the midline by axons in the central nervous system seen in sli2 heterozygous embryos is increased if they are also heterozygous for captk01217. One copy of captk01217 enhances the frequency of midline crossing defects seen in robo1 learobo2-8 double mutant heterozygotes. captk01217/Df(2L)ast2 embryos show ectopic midline crossing by axons in the central nervous system. Midline glia are still present in these embryos.
The combination of captk01217 and Pka-R1BDK.Scer\UAS in germ-line clones produces an exaggerated phenotype, with complete fusion of the germline and ectopic actin aggregates at the posterior pole of the syncytium.
In captk01217 germ-line clones, ectopic F-actin cables form in the oocyte at stages 5-6 of oogenesis, only to disappear at stages 8-9. Actin aggregates later at the cortex of capt mutant eggs.

hide Comments
This insertion was listed in the BDGP database as a lethal or sterile line during the period 1994-1999, but was not verified as such prior to the summary publication (FBrf0111489). Reasons for excluding lines from the collection described in FBrf0111489 include presence of more than one P insertion on the mutant chromosome, separation of lethality (or sterility) from the location of the insertion, and loss of lethality (or sterility) from the stock. Further information is available from http://www.fruitfly.org/bfd/ and from Dr. Allan Spradling (spradling@mail1.ciwemb.edu).
