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
There is an increase in the total number of branches and the total number of boutons at the neuromuscular junction in mutant larvae compared to controls.
The increased number of branches and of boutons at the neuromuscular junction of Fmr1[EP3517] larvae is significantly suppressed by RanBPM[k05201]/+.
Fmr1[EP3517]; Scer\GAL4[n-syb.PS] adults sleep significantly less per day than wild-type controls. This phenotype becomes more pronounced with age, peaking at 4 weeks in males and 10 days in females. Reduced sleep is also seen when Fmr1[EP3517] is combined with Scer\GAL4[30Y], Scer\GAL4[Tab2-201Y] or Scer\GAL4[238Y] but not Scer\GAL4[c309]. Reduced sleep and waking activity is also seen in Fmr1[EP3517] is combined with Scer\GAL4[elav.Switch.PO] in the presence of RU486. Fmr1[Δ50M]/Fmr1[EP3517] adults sleep significantly longer per day than wild-type, although the effect is more subtle than in Fmr1[Δ50M] homozygotes and is more pronounced in females than in males. Fmr1[EP3517]/+ females also sleep significantly longer than wild-type.
Overexpression by Scer\GAL4[P2.4.Pdf] results in a defasciculation phenotype of the termini of the LNv neuron\'s dorsal projections.
Transheterozygosity to Fmr1[Δ113M], or overexpression by Scer\GAL4[P2.4.Pdf], result in a defasciculation phenotype of the termini of the LNv neuron\'s dorsal projections.
Co-expression of Sra-1[Scer\UAS.cSa] does not suppress the defasciculation of LNv neurons caused by Scer\GAL4[P2.4.Pdf]; Fmr1[E68K.EP3517] Co-overexpression of Fmr1[E68K.EP3517] and Sra-1[Scer\UAS.cSa] using Scer\GAL4[elav.PU] results in a significant neuromuscular junction overgrowth phenotype.
Transheterozygosity of Fmr1[R47C.EP3517] to Fmr1[Δ113M] results in a defasciculation phenotype of the termini of the LNv neuron\'s dorsal projections.
Co-overexpression of Fmr1[R115H.EP3517] and Sra-1[Scer\UAS.cSa] using Scer\GAL4[elav.PU] results in a significant neuromuscular junction overgrowth phenotype.
Co-overexpression of Fmr1[S174F.EP3517] and Sra-1[Scer\UAS.cSa] using Scer\GAL4[elav.PU] results in a significant neuromuscular junction overgrowth phenotype.
Transheterozygosity to Fmr1[Δ113M] results in a defasciculation phenotype of the termini of the LNv neuron\'s dorsal projections.
Overexpression of Fmr1[G220E.EP3517] by Scer\GAL4[P2.4.Pdf] results in a defect in defasciculation of the termini of the LNv neuron\'s dorsal projections.
Transheterozygosity to Fmr1[Δ113M] result in a defasciculation phenotype of the termini of the LNv neuron\'s dorsal projections. Overexpression of Fmr1[G269E.EP3517] by Scer\GAL4[P2.4.Pdf] results in a defect in defasciculation of the termini of the LNv neuron\'s dorsal projections.
Overexpression of Fmr1[V354E.EP3517] by Scer\GAL4[P2.4.Pdf] results in a defect in defasciculation of the termini of the LNv neuron\'s dorsal projections.
Overexpression of Fmr1[Q378P.EP3517] by Scer\GAL4[P2.4.Pdf] results in a defect in defasciculation of the termini of the LNv neuron\'s dorsal projections.
Transheterozygosity to Fmr1[Δ113M]results in a defasciculation phenotype of the termini of the LNv neuron\'s dorsal projections.
Fmr1EP3517/+; Dp(2;2)C619/+ brains show no ectopic branches on the small LNv projections and posterior tract defasciculation is no higher than in Dp(2;2)C619/+ single heterozygotes.
An ectopic collateral branch is observed on the small LNv projections in 6% of Fmr1EP3517 adult brains. The posterior tract of the LNv neurons shows a defasciculation phenotype in 22% of Fmr1EP3517 brains. These phenotypes are not observed in Fmr1EP3517/+ brains.
Slightly over 60% of homozygous Fmr1EP3517 mutants exhibit severe midline crossing in the β-lobe of the mushroom body (defined as a densely strained band equal to or greater in width and thickness than those of the adjacent β-lobes). Approximately just under 10% exhibit moderate midline crossing (defined as when the thickness of the fiber bundle crossing the midline is considerable but less than the width of the β-lobe termini). No sexual dimorphism in penetrance or expressivity is found. Homozygous Fmr1EP3517 mutants exhibit misdirected or missing α-lobes in approximately 10% of cases.
The reduced synaptic length seen at the neuromuscular junction in larvae expressing Fmr1EP3517 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 is not suppressed by co-expression of either HemScer\UAS.cHa or SCARScer\UAS.P\T.cZa. The reduced synaptic length seen at the neuromuscular junction in larvae expressing Fmr1EP3517 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 is partially suppressed by co-expression of Sra-1EP3267.
Larvae expressing Fmr1EP3517 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 have significantly shorter synapses at the neuromuscular junction (70.0 +/- 3.6 μm) compared to wild-type larvae (111.1 μm).
The combination of heterozygous Sra-1unspecified and Fmr1EP3517 (driven by Scer\GAL4GMR.PF) gives a strong eye phenotype, stronger than Scer\GAL4GMR.PF driven by Scer\GAL4GMR.PF. Eyes are of reduced size and contain areas lacking in ommatidia.
Fmr1EP3517 driven by Scer\GAL4GMR.PF affects eye morphology - ommatidia are misorganised. When Fmr1EP3517 is driven by Scer\GAL4elav-C155 synaptic undergrowth is seen. The average synaptic length decreases from 105um in wild-type to 70um.
The rough eye phenotype caused by expression of Hsap\MAPTV337M.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF is enhanced by Fmr1EP3517.
Expression of Fmr1EP3517 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF results in a very mild rough eye phenotype.
Flies show no visible phenotypic abnormalities. When expression is driven by Scer\GAL4tim.PE, flies show arrhythmicity and period lengthening in a Scer\GAL4tim.PE-dependent manner.
Mutants show a fibre extension defect in the DC and LNv neurons. Extension of DC axons from the lobula to the medulla is incomplete, some axons show guidance errors. LNv neurons may over extend, show guidance defects or show aberrant morphology. The LVn defects are less consistent than those in the DC neurons. Stereotypical grid-like array of neurites entering the medulla is disrupted in mutant flies - short and thin branches fail to connect. This occurs even for neurons that do cross towards the distal medulla. Homozygotes show only 79.5% of expected eclosion from pupal case.
pnrMD237/+ adults expressing Fmr1EP3517 under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 have a deformed scutellum and several deformed macrochaetae.
Mutants show no morphological defects. When tested for bang sensitivity, temperature sensitivity and phototaxis there is no detectable difference between wild type and mutant. However there are defects in coordination in a simple flight test. When expression is driven by Scer\GAL4hs.2sev a mild rough eye phenotype results.
