Imprecise excision of the progenitor insertion, resulting in a deletion of sequences from -45 to +354 relative to the prtp transcription start site.
Deletion resulting from the imprecise excision of P{GT1}prtpBG00450 that extends from -45 to +354 relative to the prtp transcription start site. The start of prtp-RA was used as the transcription start site for the mapping.
The level of phagocytosis is lower in prtpΔ1 embryos than the control.
The distribution and population size of hemocytes is normal in mutant embryos. However, the level of phagocytosis occurring in hemocytes of mutant embryos is almost half that of control hemocytes.
repo-positive glial cells show a reduced level of phagocytosis in mutant embryos compared to wild-type embryos.
drprΔ5/drpr[+], prtpΔ1 has embryonic/larval hemocyte phenotype
ced-6J26/ced-6[+], prtpΔ1 has embryonic/larval hemocyte phenotype
Rac1J11/Rac1[+], Rac2Δ/Rac2[+], prtpΔ1 has embryonic/larval hemocyte phenotype
The level of phagocytosis occurring in the hemocytes of prtpΔ1 drprΔ5 or prtpΔ1 ced-6J26 double homozygous embryos is not significantly different from the reduction seen in each single homozygote.
prtpΔ1/+ ; drprΔ5/+ and prtpΔ1/+ ; ced-6J26/+ double heterozygotes show a reduced level of phagocytosis in embryonic hemocytes (none of the single heterozygotes shows a reduction in phagocytosis compared to wild type).
prtpΔ1/+ ; mbcC1/+ double heterozygotes show a comparable level of phagocytosis in embryonic hemocytes as in wild-type controls.
prtpΔ1/+ ; Rac1J11 Rac2Δ/+ triple heterozygotes show a reduced level of phagocytosis in embryonic hemocytes (neither prtpΔ1/+ single heterozygotes nor Rac1J11 Rac2Δ/+ double heterozygotes show a reduction in phagocytosis compared to wild type).
prtpΔ1 is rescued by prtpUAS.cKa/Scer\GAL4da.G32
prtpΔ1 is not rescued by prtpUAS.cKa/Scer\GAL4srp.Hemo
Expression of prtpScer\UAS.cKa under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32 completely rescues the defective phagocytosis phenotype seen in prtpΔ1 hemocytes.
Expression of prtpScer\UAS.cKa under the control of Scer\GAL4srp.Hemo does not rescue the defective phagocytosis phenotype seen in prtpΔ1 hemocytes.
