Imprecise excision of P{lacW}l(2)SH0553SH0553 removes most of the first exon of Wnt4 (a 1.3kb section starting 2bp upstream of the transcription start site and containing the translation start site is deleted).
Ventral-to-dorsal misroutings are found in 28.6% of Wnt4P23 homozygotes, with no animals showing a dorsal-to-ventral phenotype. In Wnt4P23/Wnt4EMS23 trans-heterozygotes the ventral-to-dorsal phenotype is weaker, with rare cases of a dorsal-to-ventral phenotype.
Wnt4P23 heterozygotes do not show any R axon misrouting defects.
Wnt4P23 has abnormal neuroanatomy phenotype, enhanceable by hepr75
Wnt4[+]/Wnt4P23 is an enhancer of abnormal neuroanatomy phenotype of hepr75
Wnt4P23 has eye photoreceptor cell phenotype, enhanceable by hepr75
Wnt4P23 has embryonic/larval optic stalk phenotype, enhanceable by hepr75
Wnt4EMS23/Wnt4P23 does not enhance the neuronal targeting defect seen in Df(3R)Tl-X/Df(3R)ro-XB3 embryos, in which the nerve terminals synapsed to muscle M12 are greatly reduced and the nerve terminals synapsed to muscle M13 are expanded compared to controls.
