Expression of Sema2bUAS.GFP,Tag:M(mCd8a) under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR83H12 leads to attraction of P-Fr processes to the ventral fan-shaped body and dorsal noduli in the adult brain when compared to controls.
5.4% of hemisegments show defects in the SNa pathway (the SNa lateral pathway ectopically contacts muscle 12) in embryos expressing one copy of Sema-2bScer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP,T:Mmus\Cd8a under the control of Scer\GAL4tey-5053A. The penetrance of the phenotype increases to 28.2% of hemisegments when two copies of Sema-2bScer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP,T:Mmus\Cd8a are used.
The increased dendritic non-contacting crossing in the class IV da neurons seen in Sema-2bf02042/Df(2R)Sema-2b-C4 mutant larvae can be rescued by ectopic expression of Sema-2bScer\UAS.cUa or Sema-2bScer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP,T:Mmus\Cd8a under the Scer\GAL4A58 driver, whereas expression of Sema-2bScer\UAS.cUa under Scer\GAL4ppk.PU does not rescue the phenotype.
