    Detailed Description
    Statement
    Reference

    Maternally and zygotically mutant armF1α embryos (coming from mothers whose whole germline constitutes from armF1α mutant cells only - created by the OvoD germline clone technique) show a segment polarity phenotype and no naked cuticle between denticle belts on the ventral epidermis (resulting in a lawn of denticles).

    armF1α mutants exhibit disruption of denticle belt patterning, with some patterning being maintained while cell shape is only mildly disrupted. Cells are rectangular and the asymmetry of markers is moderately maintained.

    Embryos mutant for armF1α both maternally and zygotically display loss of naked regions of the embryonic cuticle.

    Mutant embryos (created using germ-line clones) exhibit a weak ectopic denticle phenotype.

    When armΔ.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 is driven in a armF1α germ-line clone background, a cuticle pattern with periodic denticle belts and regions of intervening naked cuticle are formed.

    The segment polarity phenotype and the lack of naked cuticle between denticle belts, resulting in a lawn of denticles on the ventral epidermis, characteristic for maternally and zygotically mutant armF1α embryos is not modified by Scer\GAL4arm.PU-driven expression of any of the following: sggScer\UAS.T:Myr-Src64B,T:Ivir\HA1, sggKK-MI.Scer\UAS.T:Myr-Src64B,T:Ivir\HA1 or sggScer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1.

    A sggM11 mutant background fails to affect the epithelial patterning defects found in armF1α mutants.

    armF1α; aPKCk06403 double mutants maintain some apical-basal polarity patterning, and while cell shapes are somewhat disrupted, cells appear to align in rows.

    Expression of aPKCΔN.Scer\UAS in armF1α mutant embryos does not affect on denticle organisation.

    armF1α; sggM11; aPKCk06403 triple mutants exhibit significant denticle and cell disruption. Specifically, proper cell shapes and cell alignment are lost, and instead of organization into even rows, cells curved and formed denticle swirls.

    Cuticles of embryos double mutant for armF1α maternally and zygotically and l(2)gl4 zygotically resemble armF1α single mutant embryos.

    Cuticles of embryos double mutant maternally and zygotically for armF1α and sggM11 resemble that of armF1α single mutant embryos.

    Embryos triple mutant for sggM11 both maternally and zygotically and armF1α both maternally and zygotically and l(2)gl4 zygotically show a cuticle phenotype that is similar to that of zygotic l(2)gl4 single mutants.

    When CbydsRNA.Scer\UAS.WIZ is driven by Scer\GAL4arm.PS in a armF1α germ-line clone background, the ectopic denticle phenotype is suppressed. armF1α, armΔ.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1, CbydsRNA.Scer\UAS.WIZ (driven by Scer\GAL4arm.PS) germ-line clones exhibit a naked cuticle phenotype. When CbydsRNA.Scer\UAS.WIZ is driven by Scer\GAL4arm.PS in a armΔ.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 germ-line clone background, the ectopic denticle phenotype is enhanced.

    Expression of CbydsRNA.Scer\UAS.WIZ under the control of Scer\GAL4arm.PS has no effect on the cuticle phenotype of embryos derived from armF1α germ-line clones.

    Co-expression of CbydsRNA.Scer\UAS.WIZ in a armF1α, armΔ.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1, Scer\GAL4arm.PS background leads to increased naked cuticle compared to armF1α, armΔ.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1, Scer\GAL4arm.PS embryos.

    The loss of denticle belts in the cuticle made by sggM11/sggM11 maternal/zygotic mutant embryos, is suppressed by maternal/zygotic armF1α/armF1α (a weaker suppression is seen when arm8 is used instead). When these double mutant embryos are also zygotically mutant for wgl-8, they make little naked cuticle, a phenotype approximating to that seen in wgl-8 mutants. The appearance of the denticle lawn in these embryos is noticeably different to that seen in maternal/zygotic armF1α/armF1α embryos zygotically mutant for wgl-8. The denticle belts formed in sggM11; armF1α maternal/zygotic double mutant embryos are largely suppressed by AxnS044230/AxnS044230, leaving mainly naked cuticle without much sign of periodic character.
