Detailed Description

Reference

The mitochondria in the neurons of adult brains expressing f+t13 are frequently elongated compared to controls.

Flies that carry 4 copies of the f+t13 transgene have bristles that are shorter and straighter than in wild type, but are curved at the tip.

Bristle cells with 4 copies of the f+t13 transgene form longitudinal actin bundles with an isosceles triangle shape that project deep into the cytoplasm and contain more filaments than wild type.

Flies carrying four copies of f+t13 in a f+ background often have very large actin bundles in the bristles and these bundles are often triangular in shape. Smaller bundles of filaments are also seen in the cytoplasm and some of them are connected on one of their surfaces to the large triangular-shaped peripheral bundles. The filaments in these bundles are hexagonally packed. The area occupied by the bundles is larger than in wild type (15% vs. 7.5%).

Macrochaetae and some microchaetae of flies carrying four copies of f+t13 in a f+ background often have a fish hook appearance. Actin bundles in the barb portion of the bristle are very large and often irregular in shape. In addition to the membrane-associated actin bundles there are also internal bundles composed of hexagonally packed filaments, which tend to aggregate together on one half of the bristle shaft. Many of the membrane-associated bundles appear to be composed of closely applied subbundles each containing approximately 50-100 filaments.

Increasing the copy number of f+t13 induces a hypermorphic bristle phenotype whose severity correlates with the number of copies of the alleles present.
