FLP-mediated recombination has resulted in an 108kb deletion.
klarΔ1-18 homozygotes exhibit severe nuclear spacing defects (i.e. nuclear clustering) in third instar larval muscle fibers, as compared to heterozygous and wild-type controls. Homozygous clones in the follicular epithelium do not display significant changes in average transverse cell area, as compared to controls.
Striated muscle in klarΔ1-18 mutant third instar larvae exhibits aggregation of the myonuclei and aberrant nuclear shape, as well as variable nuclear size. The network of astral microtubules becomes dissociated from the nucleus. No defects in either mitochondrial or ER positioning are seen.
Homozygous klarΔ1-18 mutant larvae exhibit a 50% reduction in their motility compared to wild type.
Adult flies homozygous mutant for klarΔ1-18 are unable to fly.
Myonucleus positioning is aberrant in the DA1, DO1, DA2 and DO2 dorsal muscles of klarΔ1-18 stage 16 mutant embryos.

klarΔ1-18 homozygosity partially suppresses both the increased apoptosis and the decreased transverse cell areas observed in kudKO homozygous follicular epithelium clones. klarΔ1-18 heterozygosity, however, enhances the minor/insignificant myonuclear spacing defects in third instar larval muscle fibers induced by the expression of kudScer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-CFP under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.247 are enhanced by heterozygosity for klarΔ1-18, leading to moderate nuclear clustering, as compared to controls.
In Msp-300compl klarΔ1-18 double heterozygous third instar larvae the myonuclei are aberrantly positioned but, as in wild type, they are still associated with the acto-myosin network.
klarΔ1-18 heterozygosity enhances the significant myonuclear spacing defects in third instar larval muscle fibers expressing Hsap\TMEM258Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-CFP under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.247.
Expression of klarScer\UAS.P\T.T:Zzzz\TEV.CS.T:Avic\GFP under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR rescues the mis-positioning of the nuclei seen in klarΔ1-18 mutant third instar larvae. The locomotor defects are also fully rescued.
