Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

fry1/fry02240 mutant third instar larvae show a significant increase in the proportion of dorsal midline ddaC dendritic length that is enclosed within the epidermis rather than attached to the ECM. Dendrite crossing is seen in these mutants, and the majority of these crossings are between enclosed dendrites and dendrites attached to the ECM and are thus non-contacting. Unlike in wild type, crossing is also seen between dendrites on the interface between the v'ada and the vdaB neurons. These crossings are non-contacting.

fry02240 mutants exhibit supernumerary terminal branching and defective dendritic tiling: the branches of ddaC neurons often overlap each other. ddaC neurons in fry02240/fry1 larvae exhibit tiling defects, though they have normal dendritic length and branch points.

The length of the central core of the arista is reduced in fry02240/fry7 flies and the arista laterals are branched. Homozygous flies have split arista laterals.

Homozygotes often die as pharate adults. Cells in the wing of pharate adults form a cluster of hairs. The multiple wing hair phenotype is also seen in pupae late in hair development (more than 36 hours after the white pupa stage), while at earlier times the phenotype seems weaker. One or a few branched bristles are seen in the abdomen, legs, notum and triple row of homozygous pharate adults. These bristles are relatively normal in shape and length except for the branching. In some cases, several branches are seen at the same proximal/distal location along the shaft. Bristles with extensive splitting are occasionally seen and these are often shorter than normal. On the head, some bristles are bent, distorted and shorter than normal without being excessively split. The phenotype of developing bristles in the pupa (assayed by staining the actin cytoskeleton) overlaps that of the adult bristle phenotype. Homozygous or hemizygous pharate adults show extensive branching of essentially all arista laterals and they are thinner than normal and appear curled distally. Equivalent defects are seen in developing arista laterals in pupae.

Co-expression of mysScer\UAS.cDa and mewScer\UAS.cMBa the control of Scer\GAL4ppk.PH rescues the increase in epidermally enclosed dendrites seen in fry1/fry02240 mutants. The dendritic crossing seen in fry1/fry02240 mutants is also largely rescued. The dendritic crossings that remain in the rescue flies are between two ECM attached dendrites, rather than non-contacting crossings between an epidermally enclosed dendrite and one attached to the ECM. The crossing on the v'ada/vdaB interface is also mostly rescued and all non-contacting crossing is eliminated.

stanE59/fry02240 double heterozygous larvae show increased crossing of dendrites in the dendritic arbor of the ddaC class IV neurons compared to wild type (neither single heterozygote shows this phenotype).
