Heterozygous captE593 mutant flies exhibit increased indirect flight muscle degeneration compare to controls.
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. 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.
CskGD9345, Scer\GAL4ptc-559.1, captE593/capt[+] has abnormal cell migration phenotype
captE593/capt[+] is an enhancer of indirect flight muscle cell phenotype of DysRNAi.NH2.UAS, Scer\GAL4Act.PU
captE593/capt[+] is a non-enhancer of indirect flight muscle cell phenotype of DgRNAi.UAS, Scer\GAL4Act.PU
CskGD9345, Scer\GAL4ptc-559.1, captE593/capt[+] has wing disc phenotype
Df(3R)Exel6184/+, captE593 has indirect flight muscle cell phenotype
A captE593 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 (captE593/Df(3R)Exel6184) exhibit indirect flight muscle degeneration.
captE593 DgO86 double heterozygous flies do not exhibit indirect flight muscle degeneration.
One copy of captE593 enhances the indirect flight muscle degeneration seen when DysdsRNA.NH2.Scer\UAS is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4Act.PU.
One copy of captE593 does not enhance the indirect flight muscle degeneration seen when DgdsRNA.Scer\UAS is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4tub.PU.
captE593 Dg323 double heterozygous flies do not exhibit indirect flight muscle degeneration.
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.
