Homozygous and captK304/captE636 larvae have punctate-like accumulations expressing Act5CScer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP in the dendrites of the sensory neuron dorsal cluster (these actin accumulations are absent in the dendrites of wild-type larvae).
Two days after their induction in the wing disc, captE636 clones cause strong disturbances of the dorsoventral boundary. The disruptions are bidirectional and non-autonomous in nature; ventral cells can appear in the dorsal part of the disc and dorsal cells can appear in the ventral part of the disc, and wild-type cells adjacent to clones are also affected. The anterior-posterior compartment boundary is not affected and there is no cell death or cell loss from the disc epithelium.
Homozygotes show lethality with a variable onset, from the embryonic to the second larval instar stage. Homozygous clones overlapping the morphogenetic furrow show premature photoreceptor differentiation. Many cells in posterior homozygous clones in the eye disc fail to differentiate as neurons and later appear to die, leaving scars in the adult eye. Eye discs in which all capt function has been removed (by inducing clones in a Minute background) show a severe disorganisation of the pattern of differentiation. Clones at the wing margin have wing margin bristles of abnormal shapes and sizes and the bristles are sometimes missing. Females containing homozygous germ line clones do not lay eggs. Homozygous clones in the eye disc show excessive actin polymerisation; actin filaments appear to fill the cell bodies of the photoreceptor cells, rather than being restricted to a small region of each ommatidium (as occurs in wild type). Mutant cells in the region of the morphogenetic furrow do not undergo the normal shape changes and instead retain large apical profiles. Apical constriction of cells at the lateral edges of mutant clones in the eye disc is seen.

A captE636 heterozygous mutant background modifies the actin remodelling and subsequent basolateral invasion of epithelial cells seen in flies expressing CskGD9345 in a stripe of cells at the anterior/posterior boundary of the larval wing disc under the control of Scer\GAL4ptc-559.1.
capt Dys double heterozygous flies (captE636/Df(3R)Exel6184) exhibit indirect flight muscle degeneration.
captE636 DgO86 double heterozygous flies do not exhibit indirect flight muscle degeneration.
One copy of captE636 enhances the indirect flight muscle degeneration seen when DysdsRNA.NH2.Scer\UAS is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4Act.PU.
One copy of captE636 does not enhance the indirect flight muscle degeneration seen when DgdsRNA.Scer\UAS is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4tub.PU.
captE636 Dg323 double heterozygous flies do not exhibit indirect flight muscle degeneration.
captE636/+ mutant flies do not exhibit temperature-induced mobility defects.
Combination of Df(3R)Exel6184 in heterozygous state with a single copy of captE636 results in a significantly increased frequency of lamina plexus defects in the third instar larval brain and reduced rhabdomere length in the adult eye in the double heterozygotes.
Combination of DgO86 in heterozygous state with a single copy of captE636 does not significantly affect the frequency of lamina plexus defects in the third instar larvae but results in a significantly reduced rhabdomere length in the adults.
Central nervous system axons are seen to cross the midline in Abl2 captE636 double heterozygous embryos. Expression of captScer\UAS.cBa under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu completely rescues the midline crossing defects seen in captE636 Abl2 double heterozygotes. Expression of captC.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu partially rescues the midline crossing defects seen in captE636 Abl2 double heterozygotes.
captE636/captE593 is partially rescued by captC.UAS/Scer\GAL4da.G32
captE636/captE593 is partially rescued by Scer\GAL4da.G32/captUAS.cBa
Expression of captScer\UAS.cBa under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32 rescues captE593/captE636 animals to viability, although the rescued adults sometimes show wing or eye defects. Expression of captC.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32 rescues captE593/captE636 animals to viability and restores normal photoreceptor differentiation.
