The promoter, start codon, and the first 121 amino acids of the protein is deleted.
Imprecise excision of the P{EP}EP1464 element resulting in a deletion removing CG8188 and the first 121 residues of par-6.
Homozygous tracheal terminal cells show a reduction in class II branches compared to wild type, have very little gas-filled lumen and show an abnormal branch tip morphology.
Hemizygous embryos have a large hole in the cuticle.
Zygotic mutants for par-6Δ226 complete embryogenesis due to maternally inherited gene product.
Somatic clones homozygous for par-6Δ226 in the ovarian follicle cells cause discontinuities and multilayering of the epithelium. When the majority of border cells are part of a clone, the border cell cluster fails to migrate. Clusters with a minority of mutant cells migrate normally. The morphology of mutant clusters is frequently abnormal sometimes with cells trailing behind the migrating cluster.
Border cell migration is incomplete in 13% of stage 10 egg chambers from (par-6dsRNA.Sym.Scer\UAS)X2; Scer\GAL4slbo.2.6 flies. This increases to 34% in flies also heterozygous for par-6Δ226.
heterozygotes have a decreased number of synaptic boutons at neuromuscular junctions.
Somatic clones of par-6Δ226 in the pupal retina are very small - consisting of only a few cells, suggesting a role in proliferation and/or survival of retinal cells.
When mutant germ-line clones are made, the majority of resulting egg chambers appear small, oval shaped and contain 16 polyploid nurse cells and no oocyte. Furthermore centrosomes accumulate in one cell at the posterior of the cyst, although with a slight delay compared to wild-type. They remain at the anterior of the cell and fail to translocate to the posterior pole. Some eggs chambers escape the early arrest and go on to produce normal eggs. When females are scored 2 days after eclosion, half of the egg chambers form a normal oocyte. and a quarter still do after 10 days.
Homozygous Df(1)par-6Δ226 late stage embryos have large holes in the cuticle at random positions. Only a small number of eggs are recovered from homozygous Df(1)par-6Δ226 female germline clones. Early development is normal in these embryos, but epithelial cells lose their regular arrangement and become rounded, and often undergo apoptosis after germband retraction. Metaphase plates are often misorientated in neuroblasts (25% are misorientated by more than 60o relative to the horizontal plane and 37% are misorientated by between 30o and 60o).
