spz5[e03444]/Df(3L)Exel6092 transheterozygous mutant embryos exhibit an increase in apoptosis. Both ISNb/d and SNa projections are mildly affected in spz5[e03444]/Df(3L)Exel6092 mutant embryos.
Loss of both NT1 and spz5 in spz5[e03444] NT1[41] double-mutant embryos results in an increase in apoptosis compared to each of the single mutants, revealing redundant or complementary functions in the control of neuronal survival. Viability is affected in NT1[41] spz5[e03444] double-mutants: in homozygosis, double mutant flies are viable (although some larval lethality, as well as when in trans over NT1[41] Df(3L)Exel6092, is observed), but NT1[41] spz5[e03444]/In(3LR)TM6B flies do not produce homozygous progeny at 18[o]C, suggesting unsuccessful larval competition. The penetrance of ISNb/d targeting defects increases in spz5[e03444] NT1[41] / Df(3L)Exel6092 NT1[41] double-mutant embryos, although not significantly. The penetrance of both SNa and ISNb/d targeting defects increases in spz5[e03444] NT1[41] spz[2], compared to the double or single mutants. In the triple mutants, misrouting phenotypes can be very dramatic, and there are cases of loss of all ISNb/d motor axons (not seen in single mutants). Misrouting of the transverse nerve (TN) can be very dramatic in triple mutants, although milder effects in this nerve occur with comparable penetrance in all genotypes (~10%). Misroutings of ISN are negligible in single and double mutants, but they increase and can be dramatic in triple-mutant embryos (12.7%). NT1[41] spz5[e03444] / NT1[41] Df(3L)Exel6092 double mutant flies display a range of behavioral phenotypes including: inability to estimate the location of a petri dish rim, falling off a petri dish rim, sluggishness, inability to climb, and wobbling.
