ptctuf-1/ptcH84 flies have mildly reduced eyes but a highly enlarged head vertex. 90% of these flies have outgrowths of head cuticle and large numbers of missing, misplaced or ectopic head bristles with the remaining 10% having no outgrowths and one or 2 displaced or missing bristles. ptc559.1/ptcH84 flies have normal sized eyes and head vertex and a low incidence of ectopic or misplaced head bristles.
An NB 7-3-like fate is formed ectopically in 50% of mutant hemineuromeres. 60% of EL cells are missing.
30% hemisegments exhibit failure of neuroblast NB4-2 to delaminate from the neuroectoderm.
ptcH84/ptc9 has visible phenotype, enhanceable by Usp8UAS.Tag:FLAG/Scer\GAL4Bx-MS1096
ptcH84/ptc9 has wing phenotype, enhanceable by Usp8UAS.Tag:FLAG/Scer\GAL4Bx-MS1096
ptc559.1/ptcH84 has adult head capsule phenotype, enhanceable by smo1
ptchdl/ptcH84 has adult head capsule phenotype, suppressible by baboQ302D.UAS/Scer\GAL469B
ptcH84 has neuroblast NB4-2 phenotype, suppressible by Df(2R)gsb
ptchdl/ptcH84 has adult head capsule phenotype, non-suppressible by Df(3L)H99
ptchdl/ptcH84 has adult head capsule phenotype, non-suppressible by smo1
babo32, ptcH84 has adult head capsule phenotype
babok07737, ptcH84, smo1 has adult head capsule phenotype
babok07737, ptcH84, smo1/smo[+] has adult head capsule phenotype
ptcH84, smo1 has adult head capsule phenotype
The addition of smo1 to ptcH84/ptc559.1 animals produces an enhancement of the head capsule defect phenotype. 35% of animals exhibit the phenotype, compared to 4%. The addition of smo1 to ptcH84/ptchdl animals has no effect on the head capsule defect phenotype. All animals continue to show the phenotype. 2% of ptcH84, smo1/+ animals show a head capsule defect. 5% of babo32, ptcH84 double heterozygotes exhibit head capsule defects. 10% of ptcH84, smo1/+, babok07737 animals exhibit head capsule defects. No ptcH84, put10460 animals exhibit head capsule defects. The addition of Df(3L)H99 of ptcH84/ptchdl does not suppress head capsule defects. The addition of baboQ302D.Scer\UAS (driven by Scer\GAL469B) suppresses the head capsule defect phenotype seen in ptcH84/ptchdl. None of these animals exhibit head capsule defects.
