Member of Large Scale Dataset(s)
Dataset

A set of transgenic insertion stocks derived by TE mobilization using the P-element construct P{EP}. The P{EP} construct construct carries a w[+mC] mini-white visible marker, Scer\UAS binding sites for the Scer\GAL4 transcriptional regulator, and bacterial sequences that allow plasmid rescue. The GAL4-UAS system allows regulated expression of genes proximate to the site of the insertion: genes properly oriented with respect to the Scer\UAS sequences can be conditionally expressed via transgene-derived Scer\GAL4 activity.
Insertion lines from this collection were mapped and assessed for inclusion in the Gene Disruption Project collection; flanking sequence data were submitted to GenBank.

hide Detailed Description
Statement
Reference
Homozygotes are 100% viable. HSPC300[EP506]/HSPC300[Δ54.3] animals show 30% viability. Zygotic null, maternal hypomorph embryos (derived from HSPC300[EP506]/HSPC300[Δ54.3] females mated to HSPC300[Δ54.3]/+ males) sometimes show abnormal crossing of the midline by axons (10% of embryos), and in the most severe cases, axons ectopically cross the midline several times. Commissures and longitudinal connectives are not properly formed.
Homozygotes die at the late pupal stage. Homozygous embryos (lacking zygotic HSPC300 function) have normal central nervous system axon morphology. Homozygous embryos derived from homozygous female germline clones (lacking zygotic and maternal HSPC300 function) show severe, though variable, nervous system defects ranging from broken and disorganised longitudinal connectives and commissures to remnants of axons or depletion of all central nervous system axon bundles. In addition, lethality is shifted to embryonic stages in these animals and the embryos appear overall disorganised. HSPC300[EP506]/HSPC300[Δ54.3] animals show 30% viability. Zygotic null, maternal hypomorph embryos (derived from HSPC300[EP506]/HSPC300[Δ54.3] females mated to HSPC300[Δ54.3]/+ males) sometimes show abnormal crossing of the midline by axons (10% of embryos), and in the most severe cases, axons ectopically cross the midline several times. Commissures and longitudinal connectives are not properly formed. The neuromuscular junctions of homozygous larvae are severely reduced in length (to 66% of wild type) and have supernumerary buds (88% increase compared to wild type). Heterozygous larvae also show a significant reduction in synaptic length compared to wild type. Homozygous pharate adults occasionally have bent thoracic bristles, although the number of bristles on the head and thorax are normal.
