Ostia cells of the svp1 homozygote embryos are rounder, losing their characteristic elongated shape.
Homozygous clones in the retina have ommatidia which lack some out photoreceptor cells.
svp1 homozygous mutant animals show a significant increase in the numer of SE2 neurons specified.
Individual svp1 mutant R1 and R6 clone cells (generated using MARCM) terminate in the R8 target layer. When R7 photoreceptors are ablated using sevV1, svp1 mutant R1 and R6 axons terminate in the R7 and R8 layers of the medulla with approximately equal frequency.
50% of svp1 mutant R1 and 53% of R6 clone cells have adopted characteristics usually seen in R8 cells: expression of R8 rhodopsins, small rhabdomeres (rather than the large ones usually seen), and nuclei that are located proximal to R1, R6 and R7 nuclei. A further 42% of svp1 mutant R1s and 41% of R6s have adopted R7 characteristics, having small rhabdomeres that contain R7 rhodopsins. The nuclei are not displaced proximally in these cells. Few R1/R6 cells are seen that express both R7 and R8 rhodopsins, and there is a strong correlation between cells that express R7 or R8 rhodopsins and those that target the equivalent layer of the medulla, indicating that svp1 mutant R1 and R6 cells take on either an R7 or an R8 cell fate, not a mixed fate. None of the mutant R1s and R6s form a regular spatial pattern. svp1 mutant R1/R6 cells are directed towards R7 or R8 fates shortly after their recruitment during larval development.
76% of svp1 mutant R4 clone cells in otherwise wild type ommatidia have small rhabdomeres, rather than the large ones usually seen, and also lack the R1-R6 specific rhodopsin ninaE. Approximately half express R7 rhodopsins and half express R8 rhodopsins.
77% of svp1 mutant R3 clone cells in otherwise wild type ommatidia retain the usual large outer rhabdomere and continue to express the R1-R6 specific rhodopsin ninaE. The remainder adopting R7 or R8 fates with equal likelihood. A similar R7/R8 conversion is seen in svp1 mutant mystery cells. The mutant R3s with large outer rhabdomeres are in ommatidia with reversed chirality, indicating that they have adopted an R4 cell fate.
Eyes wholly mutant for svp1 (generated using WGMR.PG) contain increased numbers of R7 and R8 cells (2.2 and 2.5 per ommatidium respectively).
svp1 mutants exhibit a reduction in the number of NB6-4T-derived neurons in almost all hemineuromeres.
Photoreceptor cells R3, R4, R1 and R6 are transformed into R7 cells.
In homozygous clones in the eye, most ommatidia have three to five cells with small rhabdomeres.
svp1 mutant embryos have an estimated 90 cells in each Malpighian tubule cell (as opposed to about 125 in wild-type).
R1, R3, R4 and R6 are transformed to R7 cells. Targets chosen by R2 and R5 are invariably misorientated with respect to the equator.
Mosaic ommatidia at the border of homozygous clones in the eye show polarity defects, including misrotations, wrong chirality or symmetrical, non-chiral ommatidia. When one cell of the R3/R4 pair is mutant in mosaic ommatidia, the ommatidium adopts the wrong chiral form and the svp- cell assumes the R4 position. Mosaic ommatidia with mutant R1 or R6 cells behave normally. Misrotated R3/R4 precursor pairs are seen in homozygous clones in the third larval instar eye disc. These cells are misrotated by approximately 45o or 90o from their normally oriented neighbours.
Homozygous embryos have a reduced number of cells in both the anterior and posterior Malpighian tubules compared to wild-type embryos. Tip cell determination occurs normally in these embryos. BrdU incorporation appears relatively normal during the initial cell divisions of the Malpighian tubules, but subsequently it is strongly reduced indicating a failure of DNA replication.
In svp mutant clones the R1 and R6 cells are missing.
