Inferred boundaries of a 1313bp deletion resulting from the imprecise excision of P{SUPor-P}KG07568, which removes the region upstream of the cato gene.
Homozygous embryos show frequent duplications of chordotonal neurons. The v'ch1 neuron is duplicated in 84.5% of abdominal segments. Of these, very few (1.8%) seem to be associated with duplicated scolopale cells with the remainder having a single scolopale cell. In most cases a single cap cell can clearly be seen associated with the duplicated neuron.
ato1, cato536 has abnormal neuroanatomy | embryonic stage phenotype
ato1, cato536 has larval abdominal lch5 neuron phenotype
Only 5% of abdominal segments contain a possible lch5 neuron in cato536 ; ato1 double homozygous embryos.
The frequency of loss of one chordotonal organ from the lch5 lateral cluster of five chordotonal organs which is seen in Df(1)ase-1 mutant embryos is increased (28% of segments) if the embryos are also carrying one copy of cato536.
