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.

Statement
Reference
Lethal phase analysis of garz[EP2028] homozygous mutants reveals early first instar larval lethality with a very low number of individuals surviving until the end of larval development.
Flies expressing garz[EP2028] under the control of Scer\GAL4[GMR.PF] in the dark show normal rhabdomere development. Flies expressing garz[EP2028] under the control of Scer\GAL4[GMR.PF] and grown in bright light show some defects in rhabdomere structure and mild accumulation of endomembranes in the cell body of the photoreceptors.
Co-expression of garz[EP2028] strongly enhances the retina phenotype caused by expression of Pld[Scer\UAS.cRa] under the control of Scer\GAL4[GMR.PF]; only one or two poorly developed rhabdomeres are seen. Expression of garz[EP2028] under the control of Scer\GAL4[GMR.PF] in a CdsA[1] background under bright light illumination results in significantly worse defects in rhabdomere size and structure compared to CdsA[1] single mutants of flies expressing garz[EP2028] under the control of Scer\GAL4[GMR.PF] in a wild-type background. There is no change in the accumulation of membranes in the cell body of the photoreceptors in the double mutant flies.
The rough eye phenotype caused by expression of Hsap\MAPTV337M.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF is enhanced by garzEP2028.
Expression of garzEP2028 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF results in a very mild rough eye phenotype.
In the ventral muscle region of mutant larvae expressing garzEP2028 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 ISN pathfinding defects can be seen. ISNb leaves the ISN at an abnormal point. It generates an abnormal axonal branch that splits into synaptic branches on incorrect muscles.
Mutant larvae expressing garzEP2028 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 have excessive or ectopic synapses. Mutant larvae expressing garzEP2028 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 have reduced or abnormal synapses.
