| Dataset |
A set of mutant stocks derived by insertional mutagenesis using the P-element construct P{lacW}; most lines have a lethal or sterile phenotype. The P{lacW} construct carries a w[+mC] mini-white visible marker, Ecol\lacZ enhancer trap sequences, and bacterial sequences that allow plasmid rescue (FBrf0049800).
Insertion lines from this collection were assessed for inclusion in the Gene Disruption Project collection.

Detailed Description

Statement
Reference
Expression of either tutl[GH15753.Scer\UAS] or tutl[AT02763.Scer\UAS] driven by the pan-neuronal driver Scer\GAL4[elav-C155] rescues most aspects of tutl[k14703]/tutl[ex383] mutant eye defects.
In tutl[k14703] embryos, the ISNb motor axons succesfully reach the vicinity of their respective targets. However, once there, many fail
to send one or more of the final axon branches to contact their muscle targets. Around a quarter of the hemisegments also
lack ISNd nerves.
Approximately 20% of tutl[k14703] homozygotes reach adulthood. They exhibit an optic chiasm that is disorganised and exhibits graps in the R7 termination line.
Flies with eyes composed of tutl[k14703] mutant cells and brains expressing wild-type levels of tutl (generated using the EGUF technique) exhibit smaller eyes than wild-type, although the optic chiasma and R7 projections appear
normal, indicating that the source of retinal axon defects in tutl[k14703] mutants is reduced tutl levels in the optic lobe, rather than in the retinal axons.
Expression of tutl[Scer\UAS.cFa] under the control of Scer\GAL4[GMR.long] rescues the mild tiling phenotype found in tutl[k14703]/tutl[23] R7 terminals.
tutl[k14703]/tutl[23] mutants display a mild R7 tiling phenotype.
Homozygous tutl[k14703] embryos show no gastrulation defects.
A tutl[k14703] ; tutl[01085] mutant background enhances the moderately rough eye phenotype observed upon expression of mbl[C.Scer\UAS] under the control of Scer\GAL4[hs.2sev].
Most homozygotes are able to survive to adulthood if competition with heterozygous siblings is eliminated. However, competition
from heterozygous siblings results in the death of homozygous animals (85-100% lethality) before adulthood. General morphology
of the mutant larvae is normal. Homozygous larvae have a severely compromised ability to roll over from an inverted position;
the time required to right themselves is significantly longer than control larvae. Homozygous adults cannot fly, although
they walk normally and energetically on a level surface. The jump response is intact and robust, but attempts at flight result
in the flies flipping themselves onto their backs, where continued efforts to fly are shown by the adults flapping their wings
at high speeds (this only results in the flies spinning frantically in circles). Adults that become inverted are rarely able
to right themselves, despite what appears to be an intense effort to roll over. Only 12-36% of adults are able to roll over
after 60 seconds, in contrast to wild-type which roll over immediately, almost always in less than one second.

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).
