Deletion that removes most of the ST6Gal coding sequence. The design of the targeting construct used to generate this allele was aimed at creating a mutant allele with Avic\GFP expression driven by the ST6Gal promoter (by inserting the Avic\GFP coding sequence), however the Avic\GFP coding sequence was damaged by a short insertion of approximately 30bp during the targeting event, and there is no Avic\GFP expression in the mutant.
paralytic | adult stage (with SiaTS23)
SiaTL22 adults have a held-out wing phenotype and present heat sensitive paralysis (38[o]C).
Homozygous ST6GalL22 mutant flies are paralysed at elevated temperatures.
ST6GalL22/ST6GalS23 mutant flies are paralysed at elevated temperatures.
ST6GalL22/ST6GalS23 mutant flies show locomotor defects; they take an increased amount of time to right themselves when momentarily knocked down by a gentle agitation.
Mutant larvae have a decreased number of muscle synaptic branches and boutons at the neuromuscular junction of the dorsal abdominal muscle 1 (which is innervated by motor neuron MN1-Ib).
SiaTS23/SiaTL22 has abnormal locomotor behavior phenotype, enhanceable by CsasMB04236/Df(3L)XS2182
SiaTL22 has paralytic | adult stage | recessive phenotype, enhanceable by Csas21
SiaTL22 has paralytic | adult stage | recessive phenotype, non-enhanceable by Csas21/Csas[+]
SiaT[+]/SiaTL22 is an enhancer of paralytic | adult stage | heat sensitive phenotype of Cog7z-4495/Cog7z-5797
SiaTS23/SiaTL22 is an enhancer of abnormal locomotor behavior phenotype of CsasMB04236/Df(3L)XS2182
SiaTL22 is an enhancer of paralytic | adult stage | recessive phenotype of Csas21
SiaTL22 is a non-enhancer of abnormal neurophysiology | larval stage phenotype of Csas21
ST6Gal[+]/SiaTL22 is a non-enhancer of paralytic | adult stage | recessive phenotype of Csas21
Homozygous ST6GalL22 enhances the paralysis defect seen in Csas21 mutant flies at elevated temperatures. The time of onset of paralysis is shorter than in either Csas21 or ST6GalL22 mutants alone. One copy of ST6GalL22 does not enhance the homozygous Csas21 phenotype, and one copy of Csas21 is insufficient to enhance the ST6GalL22 mutant phenotype.
ST6GalL22/ST6GalS23 enhances the locomotor defects seen in CsasMB04236/Df(3L)XS2182 mutant flies. The time taken for flies to right themselves after being knocked over is extended compared to either mutant alone.
Homozygous Csas21 enhances the reduction in EJP amplitude seen in homozygous ST6GalL22 mutant flies, producing a EJP similar in magnitude to that seen in homozygous Csas21 mutant flies.
ST6Galt8 rescues the locomotor defects of ST6GalS23 larvae and rescues the shortened longevity, bang sensitivity and temperature sensitive paralytic phenotype of ST6GalS23 adults.
The reduced number of boutons at the neuromuscular junction of dorsal abdominal muscle 1 which is seen in ST6GalS23 larvae is partially rescued by ST6Galt8.
