Description

Recombination between the two progenitor chromosomes has resulted in the deletion of the intervening sequence between them. The deletion removes part of the Nos coding sequence (residues 1-757) and also removes the CG6508 and CG17134 genes which are nested within Nos.

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

NosΔ15 third instar larvae exhibit significantly enhanced mEJC frequencies and significantly increased vesicle pool size in NMJs of ventral longitudinal m6 in abdominal segments 2 and 3 when compared to controls.

A subset of NosΔ15/NosΔ15, NosΔ15/NosC, or NosΔ15/Nos1 mutants display pruning defects and/or precocious regrowth of axons in the mushroom body gamma-lobe, as compared to NosΔ15/+, Nos1/+ or NosC/+ controls.

Expression of NosScer\UAS.cMa or NosIVS.Syn21.p10.10xScer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4ey-OK107 in a NosΔ15/NosΔ15 background results in early pupal lethality.

Homozygous NosΔ15 mutant larvae exhibit normal development and developmental timing, and give rise to viable, fertile and morphologically wild type adult flies. CNS development also appears normal.

Nos1/NosΔ15 mutant larvae exhibit normal development and developmental timing, and give rise to viable, fertile and morphologically wild type adult flies. CNS development also appears normal and there is no overt effect on taste or feeding behavior compared to controls. Nos1/NosΔ15 mutant flies exhibit locomotor defects; flies walk considerably more, and stop considerably less, than control flies.

The brains of NosΔ15 mutants exhibit a weak 'cobblestone-like' phenotype; dense cellular masses (lumps) are seen that overgrow the normal brain contour, protruding above the neural lamina. This phenotype can be partially rescued by nitric oxide treatment.

Homozygous flies show resistance to paraquat compared to controls.
