Fps85DΔex1 embryos complete dorsal closure normally and exhibit normal leading edge morphology.
FERΔex1 is an enhancer of lethal | embryonic stage phenotype of Src42Amyri
FERΔex1 is an enhancer of embryonic leading edge cell & actomyosin phenotype of Src42Amyri
FERΔex1 is an enhancer of embryo | dorsal closure stage phenotype of Src42Amyri
FERΔex1 is an enhancer of embryonic/larval mouth phenotype of Src42Amyri
FERΔex1 is an enhancer of larval dorsal hair phenotype of Src42Amyri
FERΔex1 is an enhancer of embryonic/first instar larval cuticle phenotype of Src42Amyri
Src42Amyri; Fps85DΔex1 double mutant embryos show an enhanced embryonic phenotype compared to Src42Amyri embryos. Src42Amyri; Fps85DΔex1 leading edge cells show a greater disruption of the actomyosin cable, resulting in a more irregular profile. The embryos show delayed dorsal closure, as 85% are still undergoing closure at late stage 16. Embryonic lethality is increased to 100% (vs 63% in Src42Amyri embryos). 95% of the double mutant embryos show breaks and irregularities in the dorsal hair pattern and a small anterior hole in the mouthparts. The remaining embryos fail to complete dorsal closure and have a large anterior hole.
