Deletion removing ckn residues 752-806, resulting in a frameshift and truncated protein.
cknA.R305Q homozygous or cknA.R305Q/Df(2R)BSC330 mutant embryos display consistent motor axon projection defects, exhibiting classic ISNb 'bypass' phenotypes, where ISNb axons fail to innervate the ventrolateral muscle field. These axons appear to defasciculate normally from the primary ISN branch at the exit junction, but fail to enter the ventral muscle field, instead bypassing their targets as they extend parallel to the primary ISN fascicle. Frequently, mis-targeted ISNb axons reach back from the dorsal edge of muscle 12 to innervate the ventrolateral muscle field. In the majority of affected nerves, ISNb axons are visible as a distinct fascicle next to the ISN.
cknC.Δ750-806 has abnormal neuroanatomy | embryonic stage phenotype, enhanceable by dock04723
cknC.Δ750-806 has larval intersegmental nerve branch ISNb of A1-7 | embryonic stage phenotype, enhanceable by dock04723
cknC.Δ750-806, dock04723 has lateral longitudinal fascicle | embryonic stage phenotype
cknC.Δ750-806, dock04723 has intermediate longitudinal fascicle | embryonic stage phenotype
dock04723 cknC.Δ750-806 double homozygotes exhibit delayed 'immature' ISNb axons in 59% of hemisegments. Motor axons in the affected nerves are loosely organised with multiple projections and resemble wild-type axons at earlier stages. Furthermore, the ISNd branch is frequently absent or reduced in size. Examination of the ISNb/d choice point reveals defects in ISNb/d branch segregation. The lateral two longitudinal Fas2-positive fascicles are poorly fasciculated and discontinuous in these double mutants.
