Nature of the lesion

Statement

Reference

A small deletion derived from imprecise excision of a P-element removes part of the second exon including the initiator codon for translation and creates an additional exon from the P-element. An upstream portion of the second exon is spliced out upstream of codon 69. The ATG at position 145 is the first possible initiator resulting in an N-terminally truncated protein lacking the first 144 amino acids.

Detailed Description

Statement

Reference

The mean circulating hemocyte number of both cact^E10/cact³ and cact^E10/cact^E8 mutants is not statistically different from that of controls.

(Chiu et al., 2005)

Eggs laid by cact^E10/+ females are wild type.

(Wakabayashi-Ito et al., 2001)

cact^E10/cact^E8 larvae and adults do not have melanotic capsules. Hemocyte density in cact^E8/cact^E10 hemolymph is not significantly different than in the hemolymph of control larvae.

(Qiu et al., 1998)

Causes a dorsalised phenotype.

(Bergmann et al., 1996)

Females homozygous for this allele or heterozygous for this allele and a deficiency for cact generate strongly dorsalized or dorsolateralized embryos. Females transheterozygous for this allele and a loss of function allele result in embryos in which ventral structures are progressively lost at the expense of dorsal structures as the strength of the loss of function allele increases.

Additional Comments

Genetic Interactions

Statement

Reference

A cact^E10 background suppresses blood cell infiltration and tumorigenesis in lwr^4-3/lwr⁵ mutants upon L.victoriae parasitic wasp infection.

(Paddibhatla et al., 2010)

The melanotic tumour penetrance is reduced in lwr^4-3 cact^E8/lwr⁵ cact^E10 double mutants compared to lwr^4-3/lwr⁵ single mutants and by day 8, the amount of circulating hemocytes is reduced in the double mutants. In contrast, the amount of lamellocytes remains as high as in the single mutants.

(Chiu et al., 2005)

Embryos laid by cact^E10/+, dl¹/+ females are weakly dorsalized, 90% of embryos produced by cact^E10/+, spz⁴/+ are weakly dorsalized and 50% of embryos produced by cact^E10/+, ea¹/+ are weakly dorsalized. More than 80% of embryos produced by cact^E10/+, fus¹/+ are distinctly dorsalized, and the Egfr^fus,fus² chromosome has a similar but stronger effect. Fewer than 10% of embryos produced by cact^E10/+, fus¹/+ females hatch and 80-90% show the twisted body and head defects characteristic of a loss of mesoderm. Mesodermal cell types are lost.
