tokΔ2-41 homozygous embryos exhibit longitudinal axon defects.
tokΔ2-41/tokE1 embryos have a normal CNS appearance overall. However, the embryos show a phenotype of variable penetrance in which the Fas2-positive longitudinal bundles are wavy and irregular and the outer bundle is discontinuous or missing. These embryos also show a variety of guidance defects, including delay in intersegmental nerve growth and defective terminal arbor morphology, SNa stalling and additional branching and the failure of SNb to reach ventral muscle targets. tokΔ2-41 homozygotes also show these defects, but at a slightly lower penetrance.
The axon guidance defects of tokΔ2-41/tokE1 mutants persist until larval stages when the animals begin to die. Although muscles 6 and 7 of these mutants show relatively normal NMJs, there is abnormal innervation in the cleft between muscles 12 and 13 and the innervation on muscle 12 is entirely absent, reduced or misrouted. tokΔ2-41 homozygous embryos also show these innervation defects.
tokΔ2-41/tokE1 has crossvein phenotype, non-suppressible by Scer\GAL4A9/tldUAS.cHa
tokΔ2-41/tokE1 has crossvein phenotype, non-suppressible by tldUAS.cHa/Scer\GAL4da.G32
sogYL26/+; tokΔ2-41/tokE1 escapers exhibit partial posterior crossveins with significantly more crossvein material than tokΔ2-41/tokE1 escapers. Further, crossveins are almost completely restored in sogYL26/sogP129D; tokΔ2-41/tokE1 animals. Expression of tldScer\UAS.cHa under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32 or Scer\GAL4A9 fails to rescue the posterior crossvein phenotype of tokΔ2-41/tokE1 mutants.
