Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

MhcS2 adults exhibit dominant temperature-sensitive behavioural defects that include a rapid onset of seizure-like behaviour and temperature-sensitive loss of mesothoracic leg function. This behaviour is readily evident in all flies by 1 min of exposure to 38oC. MhcS2 mutants also display defects at permissive temperatures. MhcS2/+ flies are flightless, with thoracic indentations. Homozygous MhcS2 mutants are lethal. Correlating with the behavioural defects, abnormal spiking activity in the dorsal longitudinal muscles is observed at restrictive temperatures (38oC) in MhcS2/+ mutants. Type I glutamatergic motor neurons innervation is not altered in MhcS2/+ mutant third instar larvae. However, ectopic type II synapse innervation is more frequent in MhcS2/+ mutants.

Double heterozygotes of MhcS2 and SwgX118 are semi-lethal with escapers having hypercontracted femurs. Double heterozygotes of MhcS2 and BrkdJ29 are synthetic lethal. Suppression of MhcS2 seizure activity is observed in parats1; MhcS2/+ double mutant hemizygous males at 38oC. Hemizygous flies for up101 and heterozygous for MhcS1 are synthetic lethal, whereas double heterozygous females have femur hypercontraction defects. Hemizygous flies for wupAhdp-2 and heterozygous for MhcS1 are synthetic lethal, whereas double heterozygous females have femur hypercontraction defects.
