Construct: Amino acid replacement: P656A. Amino acid replacement: P659A.
wild-type, with Scer\GAL469B
axon, with Scer\GAL469B, msn102
eye disc, with Scer\GAL469B, msn102
photoreceptor & axon, with Scer\GAL469B, msn102
msnP656A,P659A.Scer\UAS when driven by Scer\GAL469B in a msn102 background produces third instar larvae with severe defects in axonal targeting. On leaving the optic stalk axons from photoreceptors form very large axonal bundles and fail to defasciculate in the region of either the lamina or the medulla.
msnP656A,P659A.UAS/Scer\GAL469B partially rescues msn102
When msnP656A,P659A.Scer\UAS is driven by Scer\GAL469B in msn102 embryos, a full rescue of the dorsal closure phenotype is seen, though only about 37% of embryos survive to pupal stages.
