hide Detailed Description
Statement
Reference
Homozygous Trl13C larvae survive and their imaginal discs are normal. TrlR85/Trl13C larvae do develop till third instar, though their imaginal discs are very small.
Homozygotes have a slightly reduced viability, equal for males and females. Trl13C/Trl62 and Trl13C/Trl2.3 animals however, females have a similar viability to homozygotes, males show a significantly reduced viability.
lolalk02512 ; Trl13C heterozygous flies are viable and do not show any visible phenotype. Approximately 4% of lolalk02512/+; Trl13C/Trl13C flies hatch. Adding at least one copy of the Hsp83GAGA519 or Hsp83GAGA581 transgenes allows the recovery of a much higher frequency of homozygous Trl13C escapers that are also heterozygous for lolalk02512 (up to approximately 80% when four copies of the transgene are added). lolalk02512/+; Trl13C/Ubx130 flies display a higher frequency (18%) of strong haltere-to-wing transformations compared to Trl13C/Ubx130 siblings (6.3%). This increased transformation is often accompanied by a notal transformation.
Approximately 12% of Trl13C homozygous flies hatch.
Adding at least one copy of the Trl[Hsp83.GAGA-519] or Hsp83[GAGA581] transgenes allows the recovery of a much higher frequency of homozygous Trl[13C] escapers that are also heterozygous for lolal[k02512] (up to approximately 80% when four copies of the transgene are added).
Trl13C/+, lolalk02512/+ animals show no enhancement or suppression of the lolalk02512 phenotype.
56% of Ubx130, Trl13C double heterozygotes have halteres that quite heterogeneous in size and larger than Ubx130 alone. 78% of Ubx130, Df(3L)Aprt-21, Trl13C triple heterozygotes have halteres that quite heterogeneous in size and larger than Ubx130 alone, also exhibiting a stronger phenotype than any two of the alleles used. The haltere becomes a wing -like structure with wing veins and hairs on the wing margin. Trl13C Df(3L)Aprt-21 double heterozygotes have an average of about 7 sex combs. 67% of animals have bristles on segment abdominal segment 6.
Heterozygotes have an average of about 10 sex combs, compared to about 11 in wild-type. 11% of animals have bristles on segment abdominal segment 6 (wild-type have none).
Mutant strongly suppresses the CycEJP rough eye phenotype.
Expression of Trl[Hsp83.GAGA-519] partially rescues the lethality seen in Trl[13C]/Trl[R67] mutants, with a survival rate of between 10 and 20% depending on the insertion line. Expression of Trl[Hsp83.GAGA-581] partially rescues the lethality seen in Trl[13C]/Trl[R67] mutants, with a survival rate of between 25 and 60% depending on the insertion line. Expression of a single copy of Trl[Hsp83.GAGA-519] partially rescues the abdominal segment transformation seen in Trl[13C] mutant males. Expression of a single copy of Trl[Hsp83.GAGA-581] does not rescue the abdominal segment transformation seen in Trl[13C] mutant males. Expression of a single copy of Trl[Hsp83.GAGA-519] partially rescues the reduction in egg production seen in Trl[13C] mutant females. Expression of a single copy of Trl[Hsp83.GAGA-581] does not rescue the reduction in egg production seen in Trl[13C] mutant females. Expression of Trl[Hsp83.GAGA-519] partially rescues the lethality seen in embryos produced by homozygous Trl[13C] mutant mothers. Expression of Trl[Hsp83.GAGA-581] does not rescue the lethality seen in embryos produced by homozygous Trl[13C] mutant mothers. Expression of a single copy of Trl[Hsp83.GAGA.T:Ecol\lacZ] rescues the zygotic lethality in Trl[13C]/Trl[R67] mutants. However the A6 to A5 abdominal transformation or the maternal-effect lethality are rescued.
Homozygous Trl[13C] mutant flies have reduced viability and this lethality is enhanced in Trl[13C]/Trl[R67] heterozygotes, with only a few percent of the mutant flies surviving to the adult stage. Approximately 80% of homozygous Trl[13C] mutant males show a transformation of the sixth abdominal segment towards the fifth. Homozygous Trl[13C] mutant females produce a reduced number of eggs compared to wild type. Fewer than 20% of the embryos produced by homozygous Trl[13C] mutant mothers survive to the larval stages, even when fertilised by wild type males. A large proportion of embryos have severe defects in nuclear division during the syncitial blastoderm stage. Approximately 80% of Trl[13C]/Trl[R67] mutant males show a transformation of the sixth abdominal segment towards the fifth. Fewer than 20% of the embryos produced by homozygous Trl[13C]/Trl[R67] mutant mothers survive to the larval stages, even when fertilised by wild type males.
Lethality occurs at hatching.
corto420 Trl13C double heterozygotes give a higher percentage of postpronotum defects than expected for an additive phenotype, indicating a synergistic interaction.
Trl13C suppresses the pairing-dependent silencing of wenh.iab-7PRE.260 seen in flies homozygous for P{iab-7PRE-wenh.260}1.
Heterozygotes show the formation of "granular" chromatin during interphase and mitosis and high proportions of cells (which are arrested at the G2/M boundary) have hypercondensed chromatin. Cells with abnormal chromosome segregation are also seen. Heterozygous females have egg chambers with an abnormal number of trophocytes and defects in chromatin condensation.
Mutant heterozygotes show no enhancement or suppression of the eye phenotype see in P{UAS-lacZ.Abd-B.5F24}.
Trl13C, wFab-7.24F6 mutants show a 2 fold reduction in eye pigment levels compared to Trl+ siblings: PcG-mediated silencing.
Enhances the position effect variegation at the w locus caused by In(1)wm4 and enhances the position effect variegation at the bw locus caused by In(2R)bwVDe2. Does not effect position effect variegation at the bw locus caused by Byron.
Pairing sensitive repression is alleviated in iab-7 PRE lines that carry Trl13C, suppression is stronger when Trl13C is homozygous.
A small percentage of homozygous Trl13C females survive to the adult stage and produce at least some eggs. Embryos can be divided into three classes. Class I arrest prior to cellularization. Class II arrest between stages 11 and 15. Class III survive gastrulation though later display segmentation defects and die by the first larval instar stage. The proportions of embryos falling into these three classes varies. Transheterozygotes with Trl62 exhibit a similar range of phenotypes. In eggs from Trl13C homozygous mothers, the nuclear cycles become asynchronous during the syncytial blastoderm stage. Chromosome segregation during anaphase is abnormal, and chromosome fragmentation is evident.
Flies doubly heterozygous for Ubx130 and Trl13C show larger halteres than Ubx130 heterozygotes alone. Flies are weakly viable and eclose at 30-40% of expected frequency, but becomes inviable when combined with z mutants.
Homozygous female escapers can be obtained.
Trl13C+/+Ubx130 double heterozygous flies have larger halteres than Ubx130 heterozygotes. Homeotic transformations include a low frequency of patches on the haltere and postnotum that develop like wing and notum tissues respectively.
Reduced viability and a rough eye phenotype. Homozygous adult males show homeotic transformation of the sixth sternite into the fifth as shown by the presence of a few bristles on the sixth sternite, this phenotype is stronger in hemizygotes but they die just before hatching. In(1)wm4h males also heterozygous for Trl13C have almost white eyes, indicating a more frequent inactivation of the w gene. Heterozygotes with Trl62 eclose late, are poorly viable and exhibit the same phenotypes as Trl13C homozygotes.
