Description

Imprecise excision of Mi{ET1}fracMB05690 results in a 2.1kb deletion, removing the first 3 exons and 2 introns of the frac gene.

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

fracΔ2 mutants are viable and display no overt behavioural defects.

fracΔ2 mutants do not display defects in muscle size, number, or epidermal attachment.

fracΔ2 mutant embryos exhibit prominent axon guidance defects. Approximately 57% of fracΔ2 mutant hemisegments exhibit aberrant ISNb branches. The penetrance of ISNb guidance defects is not affected by maternal frac levels.

Approximately 49% of hemisegments in fracΔ2 contain axons that separate inappropriately and project ectopically. The majority of defects are hypo-fasciculation errors in which axons inappropriately branch away from SNa axons.

fracΔ2/Df(3L)pbl-X1 mutants exhibit the same guidance defects as fracΔ2 homozygotes.
