short lived | female (with Df(2L)Exel7069)
mir-124Δ177.w+/Df(2L)Exel7069 females show a significant decrease in median lifespan compared to controls.
Homozygous type I neuroblast clones (induced the early first instar larvae and analysed in late third instar larvae) show a reduction in the number of postmitotic neurons per clone and have a reduced mitotic index compared to control clones.
mir-124Δ177.w+ has decreased occurrence of cell division | somatic clone | third instar larval stage phenotype, suppressible | partially by ana[+]/ana1
mir-124Δ177.w+ has type I neuroblast | somatic clone | third instar larval stage phenotype, suppressible | partially by ana[+]/ana1
mir-124Δ177.w+ has type I neuroblast | somatic clone | third instar larval stage phenotype, suppressible | partially | somatic clone by Scer\GAL4elav.PU/anaJF02665
The mitotic index of type I mir-124Δ177.w+ neuroblast clones is restored to an almost normal value in a ana1/+ background.
The mitotic index of type I mir-124Δ177.w+ neuroblast clones is restored to an almost normal value if the clones are also expressing anaJF02665 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PU.
mir-124Δ177.w+ is rescued by Scer\GAL4elav.PU/mir-124UAS.DsRed2
Expression of mir-124Scer\UAS.T:Disc\RFP-DsRed2 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PU rescues the proliferation defects seen in mir-124Δ177.w+ type I neuroblast clones.
The phiC31\attP sites present in the cassette that replaces the mir-124 hairpin permit subsequent genetic rescue by recombinase-mediated cassette exchange (RMCE).
