Description

Imprecise excision of P{lacW}nrv2k13315 has produced a deletion of 2176bp starting at the P{lacW}nrv2k13315 insertion site and encompassing all exons common to nrv2.1 and nrv2.2 alternative transcripts.

embryonic ganglionic branch & embryonic tracheole

septate junction & embryonic tracheal system

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Mutants have tracheal defects, including dorsal trunks that are increased in length compared to wild type and have an irregular diameter and lumenal staining gaps in ganglionic branches. In contrast to wild type, the paracellular barrier function of the septate junctions has also been lost in the trachea, allowing a dye to penetrate the epithelium and accumulate in the tracheal lumen.

In nrv223B homozygous embryos, tracheal phenotypes are apparent from stage 15. At stage 16 in these embryos the average dorsal trunk length is significantly greater than wild type (P<0.005) (126+/-2% mean+/-s.e.m., n>5, normalized to stage 16 wild-type value). In addition these embryos have moderately severe diameter increases in the dorsal trunk and other primary tracheal branches, and some ganglionic branches exhibit missing lumen. nrv2nwu3/nrv223B embryos from nrv2nwu3 germline clone mothers are indistinguishable from nrv2nwu3 homozygotes with respect to their tracheal patterning.

Additional Comments
Genetic Interactions
Statement
Reference

The tracheal defects of sinunwu7 mutant embryos are more severe in double mutant combination with nrv223B (expansion of the tube diameter is more severe in the transverse connective and visceral branches).

nrv2k13315/nrv223B tracheal phenotypes are not suppressed by nrv3Scer\UAS.cPa; Scer\GAL4e22c.
