Detailed Description

Statement

Reference

car¹ homozygotes or heterozygotes do not exhibit a significant increase in the proportion of hyperplastic testes, as compared to controls.

(Napoletano et al., 2017)

car¹ mutant males exhibit ~40% less spermatogonial cyst death compared to controls.

(Yacobi-Sharon et al., 2013)

car¹ mutants exhibit an endosome clustering phenotype.

(Gailite et al., 2012)

car¹ mutants exhibit retinal degeneration after 9-days of constant light.

(Kinser and Dolph, 2012)

Both number and morphology of LysoTracker-positive puncta and lipid droplets during ecdysone-induced autophagy in car¹ male wandering third instar larvae is comparable to wild-type.

(Bartlett et al., 2011)

Mutant flies show some decrease in ommochrome pigment levels and a significant reduction in drosopterin pigment levels compared to wild type.

(Harris et al., 2011)

Mutant males have a shortened adult life span compared to controls, with a mean life span of 17.42 days at 25^o.

(Simonsen et al., 2007)

Hemocyte endosomal degradation is significantly reduced in car¹ mutants compared to wild-type cells. This reduction also correlates with an increased severity of eye-colour defect. car¹ mutants show a small but significant impairment in endosomal degradation. There is no difference between in the morphology and formation of the multi-vesicular body and the small dense organelle between car¹ and wild-type cells. Cells from car¹ animals exhibit a block in transition of small dense vesicles to tubular-vesicular compartments. Endosomes in car¹ mutant cells exhibit wild-type fusion characteristics and mature into fusion-inaccessible small dense structures.

(Sriram et al., 2003)

Brain histology abnormal.

(McCarthy and Nickla, 1980)

Malpighian tubule colour: pale yellow; hard to distinguish from wild type before third instar.

(Beadle, 1937)

Eye color autonomous in transplant into wild-type host.

(Beadle and Ephrussi, 1936)

Eye colour: dark ruby. Body shape and proportions seem rounded.

Genetic Interactions

Statement

Reference

car¹/car¹, p53^E8/+ adults do not exhibit a significant increase in the proportion of hyperplastic testes, as compared to car¹/car¹ adults, p53^E8/+ adults, or wild-type controls.

(Napoletano et al., 2017)

Homozygosity of car¹ suppresses the ectopic N activation phenotype (ectopic expression of wg) in l(2)gd1^d7 wing discs.

(Schneider et al., 2013)

Expression of rush^{Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP} under the control of Scer\GAL4^arm.PS decreases the fraction of car¹ flies eclosing. This effect is rescued by Df(1)rush⁴, sta^+t4.4.

(Gailite et al., 2012)

The presence of Cys^GMR rescues the retinal degeneration seen in car¹ after 9-days of constant light.

(Kinser and Dolph, 2012)

The reduction in drosopterin pigment levels that is seen in car¹ flies is not affected by HPS4^W515X.

The reduction in drosopterin pigment levels seen in flies carrying w^dsRNA.GMR is not enhanced by car¹.

(Harris et al., 2011)

A car¹ mutant background suppresses the retinal degeneration seen upon expression of Sk2^Scer\UAS.cYa under the control of Scer\GAL4^GMR.PF in the developing eye through enhanced lysosomal degradation.

(Yonamine et al., 2011)

Eye colour: car¹; p^p eyes are lighter than either single mutant. The levels of red pigment in the double mutants is comparable to that in car¹ single mutant eyes and the level of brown pigment is comparable to p^p single mutant eyes.

(Falcon-Perez et al., 2007)

The double mutant, car¹ dor¹ does not survive beyond the prepupal stage. In cell culture, car¹ dor¹ cells exhibit the most severe defect in endosomal degradation, compared to either single mutant. There is a small but significant difference between the degradation defect in dor¹ car¹ and dor¹, consistent with a role for both car and dor in endosomal degradation. Endosomes in cells from car¹ dor¹ mutants, although incapable of a morphological transition to small dense vesicles, are capable of fusion at early times and normal maturation. The presence of Dp(1;Y)1E in car¹ mutants blocks the transition from large to small endosomes during maturation.

(Sriram et al., 2003)

Lethal focus of the lt car lethal interaction as measured in car¹/+; lt¹/lt¹, car¹/0; lt¹/lt¹ gynandromorphs is in ventral nervous tissue.

(Nickla et al., 1980)

Dies as larva when mother car¹; lt^unspecified/+ or car¹/+; lt^unspecified and as pupa when mother car¹/+; lt^unspecified/+.
