hide Detailed Description
Statement
Reference
Loss of gcm in gcm[rA87] mutants results in embryonic lethality accompanied by the almost complete absence of glial cells and reduction in macrophages. The total loss of glia in gcm[rA87] mutant embryos causes neuronal pathfinding defects in stage 16 embryos. The cerebral trachea grows towards the dorsomedial surface of the neuropile normally. However, upon reaching the neuropile surface, it gives off numerous thick, long branches that are never observed in wild-type embryos.
Homozygotes exhibit an abnormal and variable number of ectopic sensory organs in the region of the twin sensillum on the wing margin (TSM).
Transheterozygotes with gcm- alleles are viable.

Additional Information
Statement
Reference
Enhancer trap expression is observed at embryonic stage 8 in the procephalic mesoderm. Later, it is observed in all hemocytes.
Enhancer trap expression first occurs in an anterior ventral patch in the cellular blastoderm embryo. During gastrulation, these cells invaginate at the end of the ventral furrow just anterior to the cephalic furrow in an area that gives rise to the cephalic mesoderm. During stages 11-12, in each hemisegment, sequential and transient expression occurs in two patches of 3-5 ectodermal cells. From each patch, a single large blast cell delaminates and maintains expression. These are tentatively identified as the peripheral glioblast and the longitudinal glioblast. By late stage 11, enhancer trap expression occurs in all of the progeny of these glioblasts as well as in additional glial cells. In the brain lobes, a complex pattern of expression is seen through stage 17. In the PNS, expression occurs in all repo-positive glia along peripheral axon pathways and associated with sensory organs.
