Cells mutant for Syx71 in mosaic eye discs are eliminated by cell competition. The resulting adult eyes are grossly morphologically normal and contain wild-type ommatidia.
Oocytes derived from homozygous germline clones lack yolk granules.
Syx71 mosaic eyes are morphologically normal.
Mutant eye discs (generated using the eyFLP-cell lethal system) show disorganised cellular architecture and reduced differentiation compared to wild type.
Larvae containing mutant eye discs generated using the eyFLP-cell lethal system are increased in size compared to control larvae when examined as pupariation commences. The animals do not develop into adults.
In contrast to the cuboidal monolayer of follicle cells seen in wild type, follicle cells homozygous for Syx71 are rounded and form multilayers at the ovary poles.
Syx71 germ-line clones do not produce fertilized eggs.
Syx71 clones produced in imaginal discs are slow-growing and usually eliminated.
Eye imaginal discs that consist predominantly of Syx71 mutant clones (produced using the "eyFLP/Minute" system) show marked epithelial disruption: the apical-basal polarity of mutant cells is disrupted, ectopic adherens junctions form, and the mutant discs undergo massive overproliferation during an extended larval period, resulting in the development of tumour-like growths. Syx71 mutant discs isolated immediately before pupariation contain approximately 2.5 times as many cells as wild type controls.
Both homozygous and hemizygous Syx71 animals die as first instar larvae.
Scer\GAL4en-e16E, Syx71/Syx7[+], Vps45RNAi.UAS.WIZ has visible phenotype
Scer\GAL4en-e16E, Syx71/Syx7[+], Vps45RNAi.UAS.WIZ has wing phenotype
Expression of Vps45dsRNA.Scer\UAS.WIZ under the control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E in a Syx71/+ background results in defects in the wing.
