filopodium & abdominal ventral longitudinal muscle 3
Slight irregularities in the apical surface of the salivary gland are seen at stage 12 in mutant embryos. By stage 14/15 the salivary gland tube is buckled.
Adult ifk27e homozygous mutant intestinal stem cell clones have similar maintenance 7 days and 14 days after clone induction compared to control clones.
Homozygous embryos show axon guidance defects in the ISNb pathway (80.0% of hemisegments), in the SNa pathway (56.2% of hemisegments) and in the central nervous system (36.4% of hemisegments). The defects in the ISNb and Sna pathways are characteristic of increased fasciculation, while defects that are characteristic of both increased and of decreased fasciculation are seen in the central nervous system.
ifk27e dorsal branch terminal cell clones do not cause any detectable defects in terminal cell morphology.
Salivary cells appear to invaginate normally in homozygous embryos. The first group of salivary cells to be internalised reach the approximate level of the wild-type turning point (the point where salivary cells turn to reorient their movement posteriorly in wild-type embryos) but fail to migrate further. The remaining salivary cells continue to be internalised, and in late stage embryos the salivary tubes are frequently folded in half with the distal tips oriented anteriorly. Salivary tube length in the mutant embryos is similar to that of wild type in all stages of morphogenesis and salivary tube diameter in the mutant embryos is similar to that of wild type.
Mutant embryos show loss of innervation of the muscle 6/7 cleft by the RP3 motorneuron (innervation is seen in only 28% of mutant hemisegments), often due to target bypass. Myopodia extending from muscle 6 are initially present at numbers similar to wild type (at 12 hours), but myopodia clustering can only be detected in 10% of hemisegments at 13 hours (compared to 46% of hemisegments in wild type).
Embryos exhibit normal epidermis and resultant secreted cuticle, defects lie in internal tissues. Somatic muscle detach and round up. Gut morphogenesis is defective: anterior midgut does not become a slender tube and only two fat gastric caecae are formed. The ventral nerve cord does not fully condense.
Homozygous embryos have an increased rate of axon errors in the central and peripheral nervous systems compared to wild-type.
Larvae do not exhibit proventricular cell migration defects.
Clonal analysis reveals that lack of if has no discernible effect on germ cell development. Mutant embryos show a distinct and reproducible separation between the ectodermal and mesodermal tissue layers of the germband, though the separation is not complete. Midgut primordia meet and initiate fusion at least 1 to 2 hours after wild type embryos would. Visceral mesoderm shows gaps and irregularities. Midgut constrictions partially form.
Muscle attachment abnormality in embryo. Muscles 12, 8 and 4 are most often affected.
Heterozygotes with if3 exhibit a higher frequency of blistering.

Reduced maintenance phenotype of adult mewM6/mewM6, ifk27e/ifk27e double mutant intestinal stem cell clones is partially rescued by expression of mewUAS.cWa under the control of Scer\GAL4Act.PU in these clones.
No significant overgrowth of the neuromuscular junction is seen in FakN30/FakKG00304 third instar larvae which are also heterozygous for ifk27e.
ifk27e/+ ; Df(3L)Exel6083/+ double heterozygotes show axon guidance defects characteristic of increased fasciculation in the ISNb pathway (72.0% of hemisegments), in the SNa pathway (53.7% of hemisegments) and in the central nervous system (42.1% of hemisegments). These defects are not seen in either single heterozygote.
When tested in the odour-induced jump-test, double heterozygotes of swsolfE-x26 and ifk27e exhibit a reduced response to benzaldehyde, but not to iso-amyl acetate or ethyl acetate, compared to controls.
In ifk27e/+ sli2/+ double heterozygous mutants the frequency of midline guidance errors is increased over the level observed in ifk27e homozygous mutants. 40% of segments had midline guidance defects of the innermost lateral axon tract (as assayed by Fas2). The frequency of midline crossing is much higher in ifk27e/Y;sliunspecified mutants and also involves more lateral tracts.
In combination with either mysolfC-x3, mysolfC-x5, mysolfC-x10 or mysolfC-x17, ifk27e flies show a reduced olfactory response to isoamyl acetate and benzaldehyde. In combination with mysolfC-x3, mysolfC-x5 or mysolfC-x17 (but not mysolfC-x10), ifk27e flies show a reduced olfactory response to ethyl acetate.
mew023 ifk27e or mew498 ifk27e double mutants have no midgut constrictions. Scer\GAL4how-24B-mediated expression of ifΔ.C.Scer\UAS or ifΔ.m8.Scer\UAS rescues initiation of midgut constrictions.
Double mutants for mew and if have a midgut phenotype as severe as that of mys mutants. Muscles detach, but later in development than in mys mutants. Dorsal hole and U-shaped cuticle of mys mutants are not observed in mew or if mutants. Double mutants between mew498, mew023 or mewM6 and ifk27e or ifB4 do not show the twisted germband, amnioserosal detachment, dorsal movement of germband, dorsal hole and U-shaped embryo phenotypes of mys mutants, but do show early muscle detachments, as seen for mys mutants.

The nervous system phenotype is partially rescued by ifC.Scer\UAS expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu.
Scer\GAL4how-24B-mediated expression of ifΔ.C.Scer\UAS or ifΔ.m8.Scer\UAS only rescues the germband separation phenotype. Wing blisters from somatic clones can be rescued by Scer\GAL4how-24B-mediated expression of either ifC.Scer\UAS or ifm8.Scer\UAS. Expression of ifΔ.C.Scer\UAS or ifΔ.m8.Scer\UAS does not rescue the blisters.
The lethality caused by ifk27e can be rescued by Scer\GAL4how-24B mediated expression of one copy of P{UAS-if.C}, a copy of both P{UAS-if.C} and P{UAS-if.m8} or two copies of either P{UAS-if.C} or P{UAS-if.m8}. Adult survivors carrying one copy of P{UAS-if.C} exhibit wing blisters at a higher frequency than the other survivors. Expression of one copy of P{UAS-if.m8} fails to rescue lethality, embryos die during development and fail to emerge from the egg cases. These embryos exhibit a muscle phenotype. Mitotic clones in the eye have normal morphology.
