Expression of one copy of SmnT205I.T:Zzzz\FLAG partially rescues the larval lethality seen in homozygous SmnX7 mutants.
Co-expression of one copy each of SmnY203C.T:Zzzz\FLAG and SmnT205I.T:Zzzz\FLAG partially rescues the larval lethality seen in homozygous SmnX7 mutants. The phenotype is intermediate between expressing one copy each of either transgene, indicating that SmnY203C.T:Zzzz\FLAG is having a dominant effect. No adults eclose but many animals reach the pupal stage.
Expression of SmnT205I.T:Zzzz\FLAG fully rescues the larval lethality seen in Smnf01109/SmnX7 mutants. However lethality in these mutants occurs at the pupal stage, with only 25% of mutants eclosing as adults. Pupation and eclosion occurs a day later than in wild type controls. Expression of SmnT:Zzzz\FLAG also largely rescues the motility defects seen in Smnf01109/SmnX7 mutant larvae, whereas the burrowing defects are fully rescued.
