Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Homozygous clones induced by the eyFLP method result in ectopic CO[[2]] neurons on the maxillary palp (MP). The ectopic neurons show dual targeting specificity: in addition to targeting the V-glomerulus they also innervate a set of medial glomeruli normally innervated by two MP olfactory receptor neuron classes. The number of antennal CO[[2]] neurons is unaffected.

Approximately 50% of egg chambers from induced mir-279S096207 clones exhibit ectopic cells or clusters of cells. The number of border cells within the main cluster remains normal, indicating the abnormal invasion of follicle cells.

mir-279S096207 mutant egg chambers exhibit frequent border-cell migration defects.

Mutants show no defects in targeting of the DL1 glomerulus in the antennal lobe.

The maxillary palps of mutant flies are sensitive to CO[[2]], showing a detectable electropalpogram response to CO[[2]] (in contrast to control flies where the maxillary palps do not show a detectable response to CO[[2]] in this assay).

The maxillary palps contain ectopic Gr21a-expressing neurons in mutant flies. These ectopic maxillary palp neurons target the V-glomerulus and other medial sites in the antennal lobe. The wiring specificity of mutant antennal CO[[2]] sensing neurons is identical in mutant and wild-type flies.

Individual sensilla in mutant maxillary palps contain additional neurons compared to wild-type maxillary palp sensilla.

Lethal phase is from the pharate adult stage onwards.

Expression of prosScer\UAS.cMa under the control of Scer\GAL4Act.PU suppresses the formation of ectopic CO[[2]] neurons on the maxillary palp caused by mir-279S096207 clones in 37% of animals.

A Stat92EEP3391 heterozygous background suppresses the ectopic invasive cell phenotype and the border-cell migration defects found in mir-279S096207 mutant clones.

Comments

The presence of ectopic cells or clusters of cells in the egg chambers of mir-279S096207 mutant clones is ameliorated by the presence of mir-279+t3.
