FLP-mediated recombination between the two progenitor insertions has deleted the genomic sequence between them, which includes the presumptive promoter region and part of the 5'UTR of Abp1.
Scer\FRT-mediated recombination between the two progenitor insertions has deleted the sequence between them.
fertile (with Df(3L)Exel6119)
viable (with Df(3L)Exel6119)
The average speed of migration of Abp1KO/Df(3L)Exel6119 third instar larvae is only 74% of that of wild type.
Homozygous and Abp1KO/Df(3L)Exel6119 third instar larvae have neuromuscular junction (NMJ) defects. The number of type Ib boutons per NMJ and the number of axonal branch points per NMJ are significantly reduced compared to controls.
Abp1KO/Df(3L)Exel6119 flies have kinked microchaetes, with the kinks almost always correlating with fusions of longitudinal ridges.
Dorso-central macrochaetae have a large number of irregularly joined and fused ridges, resulting in an increased number of longitudinal ridges compared to wild type in Abp1KO/Df(3L)Exel6119 flies.
Df(3L)Exel6119/Abp1KO is rescued by Scer\GAL4VGlut1-OK371/Abp1UAS.cKa
Df(3L)Exel6119/Abp1KO is partially rescued by Abp1UAS.cKa/Scer\GAL4C57
Df(3L)Exel6119/Abp1KO is partially rescued by Scer\GAL4sca.PU/Abp1UAS.cKa
The reduction in the number of type Ib boutons which is seen at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) in Abp1KO/Df(3L)Exel6119 third instar larvae is rescued by expression of Abp1Scer\UAS.cKa under the control of Scer\GAL4VGlut-OK371 (in motorneurons), but not under the control of Scer\GAL4C57 (in muscles). The reduction in the number of axonal branch points per NMJ which is seen in Abp1KO/Df(3L)Exel6119 third instar larvae is rescued by expression of Abp1Scer\UAS.cKa under the control of either Scer\GAL4VGlut-OK371 or Scer\GAL4C57.
The extra longitudinal ridge phenotype seen in macrochaetae of Abp1KO/Df(3L)Exel6119 flies is partially rescued by expression of Abp1Scer\UAS.cKa under the control of Scer\GAL4sca.PU.
