Detailed Description

Reference

In the tracheal dorsal trunk of stage 17 kkv1 homozygous embryos, the distinct apical cell shape of the node cells is disturbed; the apical plasma membrane of the remaining cells lack anteroposterior elongation; chitin is absent; taenidial folds are absent and F-actin bundles fail to form when compared to controls. Also during embryo development in kkv1 homozygotes, F-actin (Utr-GFP) bundles formed normally and thereafter collapsed different than controls.

kkv1 mutant trachea lack chitin and exhibit irregular tube diameter. kkv1 mutants also exhibit an expanded and deformed embryonic cuticle.

The tracheal tubes of kkv1 stage 16 embryos display aberrant constrictions and dilations. However, the dorsal trunk lumen is continuous, as in wild type. The diffusion barrier mediated by the septate junctions is not impaired. kkv1 embryos have no detectable CNS phenotypes.

kkv1 mutants have a tracheal tube expansion defect.

Mutant embryos do not synthesis detectable chitin.

At the end of embryogenesis, kkv1 mutant embryos exhibit severe tube dilations and cysts in all multicellular branches of the tracheal system. In addition, the ganglionic branches show discontinuities at the borders of the ventral nerve cord. However, branching of the tracheal system appears normal.

In homozygous embryos the Malpighian tubules emerge from a single sack that is attached to the hindgut rather than from two separate ureters as in wild-type embryos. The tubules appear to have elongated properly, but cell rearrangement is apparently defective because the tubules are considerably wider than normal along most of their length.

No changes in phenotype of tor13D embryos.

Head skeleton crumbled; denticle bands narrower; embryo rarely inverted in egg case.
