Imprecise excision of the P{SUPor-P} element that removes the entire element and 1887bp of the Fak56D gene. This removes the first 1263bp of coding sequence, corresponding to the first 421 amino acids of Fak56D.

axon & eye photoreceptor cell
FakCG1/+ larvae do not display increased dendrite crossing in the class IV dendrite arborizing neurons.
Eyes from FakCG1 null mutants display normal patterning.
Synapse number is highly variable in Fak56DCG1 mutant larvae. There is a tendency for synapse number to decrease, rather than increase, compared to wild-type.
Boutons in Fak56DCG1 mutants often appear to be larger in size than wild-type.
Expression of Fak56DScer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 in motor neurons under the control of Scer\GAL4D42 in a Fak56DCG1 background increases axon diameter.
Fak56DCG1 larvae show an increased rate of onset of long term facilitation. EJP amplitude at 0.15mM and 0.2mM Ca[2+] concentrations is significantly increased but is not significantly different from wild-type amplitudes at 0.1mM Ca[2+] concentration in this mutant.
Miniature EJPs are unaffected in these mutants.
Expression of Fak56DScer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 in motor neurons under the control of Scer\GAL4D42 in a Fak56DCG1 background does not affect miniature EJP amplitude.
The neuromuscular junction is overgrown and shows an increase in bouton number in mutant third instar larvae.
Photoreceptor axons fail to form a bundle at the optic stalk in homozygous mutants. In addition, the optic stalk itself is also severely disrupted, with about 80% of animals showing significant defects in optic stalk morphogenesis (the length of the stalk is less than or only equal to the diameter of the stalk, in contrast to the wild type where the length of the stalk is at least two times bigger than the diameter). These optic stalk defects are not detected until the early third larval instar and they become progressively more severe as development proceeds through the third larval instar.
Surface glia (SG) cells of the optic stalk fail to form a tubular structure in mutants, but instead spread over the surface of the optic lobe. This defect in CG cell localisation occurs before photoreceptor cell axon innervation. The SG cells show the same elongated morphology as wild type. However, analysis of small marked clones indicates that SG cells in mutant animals disperse along the anterior-posterior axis to a lesser extent than wild-type cells examined under the same conditions.
Homozygous embryos show no obvious muscle disruption phenotypes compared to wild-type embryos. and no obvious defects in the migration of primordial midgut cells are seen.

FakCG1,Df(2R)Sema-2b-C4 double mutant larvae do not display increased dendrite crossing in the class IV dendrite arborizing neurons.
Heterozygous FakCG1 enhances the ommatidial mis-patterning seen in eyes expressing RetGMR.PR. Homozygous FakCG1 causes a smaller eye due to a completely disrupted ommatidial pattern. This enhancement is reversed upon co-expression of either FakScer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 or FakY430F.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PU.
The retinas of pupae (42 hours after pupal formation) expressing RetGMR.PR in a homozygous FakCG1 mutant background lack the hexagonal array and identifiable ommatidial units. Numerous ct-positive cone cells are seen. Some bristle cells and a few cells recognisable as primary pigment cells remain, but there are no detectable cells with the appearance of normal interommatidial cells. Ommatidial units with extranumerary cone cells are also seen at early stages of development (4 hours after pupal development). Eye discs contain normal number of photoreceptors, albeit some clusters have rotation defects.
FakCG1/Fak5-SZ-3124 enhances the partial lethality and wing disc defects seen when RetMEN2A.Scer\UAS is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4dpp.PU. The proportion of surviving flies rises from 46% to 92%.
A Fak56DCG1 background completely suppresses the increased synapse number conferred by CaMKIIT287D.Scer\UAS expression. Synapse number in these double mutants is indistinguishable from that in Fak56DCG1 single mutants.

Fak56DCG1/+; p130CAS1/Df(3L)Exel6083 adults do not emerge, indicating complete lethality. Analysis of the Fak56DCG1/Fak56DCG1; p130CAS1/+ lethal phenotype indicates that most (95%) of the embryos do not hatch. The few escapers survive to pupal stages, but do not emerge. Only 5% of Fak56DCG1; p130CAS1 double homozygotes produce cuticles and almost all are marked by dorsal and/or ventral holes, indicating dorsal closure defects. These cuticles also show fused or missing denticle belts.
