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.

hide Detailed Description
Statement
Reference
Photoreceptor cell axons do not form an optic chiasm in sli[k04807b] mutants.
In egh7/Y; slik04807b/+ mutants, the R-cell axonal projection pattern is defective like in egh7 single mutants. egh7/+; slik04807b/+ mutants appear wild type.
There are gaps in the lamina neuropil in the visual system of homozygous third instar larvae and increased numbers of photoreceptor axons enter the medulla; many R2-R5 axons pass through the lamina and enter the medulla, in contrast to wild type where they stop in the lamina neuropil. slik04807b/sli05248, slik04807b/sliE-158 and slik04807b/sli2 third instar larvae show defects in photoreceptor axon targeting, with gaps in the lamina and increased numbers of axons entering the medulla. slik04807b/sli2 animals show disruption of the lamina glia layer; clumps of glia and gaps in the glial layers are seen. The regions of photoreceptor axon mistargeting correlate with areas of lamin glial disruption. Many distal cell neurons enter the base of the lamina in slik04807b/sli2 third instar larvae and some distal cell neurons invade the lamina neuropil, disrupting photoreceptor innervation.
Mutant strongly disrupts the target layer selections of R1-R6 photoreceptor axons.

NOTE: derived from line carrying multiple insertions.
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).
