771bp deletion resulting from the imprecise excision of P{EPgy2}wlsEY01593. Sequences removed include the first 627 bases of the coding sequence.
wlsevi-2 homozygous larvae have significantly reduced bouton number and significantly increased bouton size at the neuromuscular junction of muscle 4, compared to controls.
Less than 2% of srtevi-2 animals survive to late pupal stages. These survivors exhibit severe developmental defects such as the loss of legs and enlarged eyes.
Mutants with both maternal and zygotic srtevi-2 transcripts die during embryogenesis and have a severe segment polarity phenotype.
srtevi-2 mutants show no planar cell polarity phenotypes, as judged by normal notal bristle orientation the lack of effect of mutant clones in the wing.
egh[+]/egh62d18, wlsevi-2 has abnormal neuroanatomy | larval stage phenotype
egh[+]/egh62d18, wlsevi-2 has embryonic/larval neuromuscular junction phenotype
egh[+]/egh62d18, wlsevi-2 has terminal bouton | larval stage phenotype
wlsevi-2 is rescued by Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI/wlsUAS.EGFP
