Striated muscle in klarmarb-CD4 mutant third instar larvae exhibits aggregation of the myonuclei and aberrant nuclear shape, as well as variable nuclear size. As in wild type, the myonuclei are associated with myofibrillar domain.

klarmarb-CD4 single mutants do not exhibit nuclear positioning defects in the oocyte/nurse cell complex nor dumping phenotype in double mutant ovaries. In addition klarmarb-CD4 mutant eyes exhibit slight malformation, with some R-cell and cone cell nuclei displaced.

klarmarb-CD4 mutants exhibit reduced fertility compared to wild-type: they lay fewer eggs and fewer of the eggs laid hatch.

Photoreceptor and cone cell nuclei fail to migrate apically and are positioned randomly within the apical-basal axis in klarmarb-CD4 mutant eye discs.

klarmarb-CD4 embryos show normal lipid droplet transport.

Homozygotes have a subtle rough eye phenotype. The photoreceptor cells are present, largely in their normal positions, but the rhabdomeres are malformed. In contrast to wild type, where the photoreceptor cell nuclei are apical, in homozygous eye discs, most of the photoreceptor cell nuclei are basal and the remainder are randomly distributed throughout the apical/basal plane. The eye phenotypes of klarmarb-CD4/Df(3L)emc-E12 animals are qualitatively indistinguishable from those of klarmarb-CD4 homozygotes.

Homozygotes show defects in lipid droplet transport.

Mild rough eye phenotype, with irregular reduced corneal pseudopupils. The ommatidia have the normal complement of photoreceptor cells but the rhabdomeres are malformed. Photoreceptors and cone cells are properly determined and assembled into the eye disc. The morphology of the photoreceptor cells is unusual, as their nuclei are in unusual positions. Primary pigment cells develop normally, and at least most of the secondary and tertiary pigment cells and bristle precursors assemble normally. Photoreceptor nuclei of R8, R2, R5, R3 and R4 lie basally instead of apically, though thes ephotoreceptors appear to differentiate properly.

In Msp-300ΔKASH klarmarb-CD4 double mutant third instar larvae the myonuclei are aberrantly positioned. The phenotype is more severe than in either of the single mutants.

Msp-300ΔKASH; klarmarb-CD4 double mutants exhibit wild-type nuclear positioning in the oocyte/nurse cell complex, and there is no 'dumpless' phenotype in double mutant ovaries. The double mutant eye phenotype is like klarmarb-CD4 alone; double mutant eyes are not more severely malformed than klarmarb-CD4 eyes, and R-cell and cone cell nuclei are misplaced similarly in both.

The egg-laying defect of klarmarb-CD4 mutants is enhanced in females heterozygous for Msp-300ΔKASH, and females homozygous for both klarmarb-CD4 and Msp-300ΔKASH lay only a small fraction of the wild-type number of eggs. The fraction of the eggs from double mutant mothers that hatch, however, is similar to the fraction from klarmarb-CD4 mothers.

koiHRKO80.w, klarmarb-CD4 double mutant homozygotes have a mutant phenotype identical to either single mutant alone: they are viable with rough eyes.

Comments

Most photoreceptor nuclei are positioned appropriately (i.e. apically) in klarmarb-CD4 mutant eye discs that also have a copy of klarα.ro. However, cone cell nuclei remain positioned randomly - many are basal to the photoreceptor nuclei.
