Description

Contains an AG-->AA splice site alteration.

Nucleotide substitution: G?A.

The G-A substitution is in the 3' splice site of the fourth intron. This results in mis-splicing and use of a cryptic 3' splice site located seven nucleotides 3' of the normal site, which alters the expressed product after codon 268, resulting in a truncated protein.

Detailed Description

Reference

Stage 16/17 rhea13-8 embryos show a 'rounded-up' muscle phenotype in which all muscles are detached from one another and from the cuticle. Upon Scer\GAL4Mef2.PU-driven expression of rheaT150A.T152A.UAS.Tag:FLAG (1 or 2 copies) muscle are still detached from the cuticle but not from one another; in addition, striations were lost, suggesting defects in myofibril assembly.

rhea13-8 mutants exhibit terminal cell pruning with multiple convoluted lumens.

At early L2, rhea13-8 dorsal branch terminal cell clones resemble wild-type clones, whereas rhea13-8 clones examined later in development have progressively more severe phenotypes. In early third instar, defects become prominent. The number of terminal is significantly reduced relative to wild-type terminal cells, and the lumens of the branches in mutant terminal cells are convoluted. By the late third instar, rhea13-8 clones typically have just a single stubby branch packed with a tangle of convoluted lumens. When mutiple lumens are present within a branch, they are not always the same diameter.

rhea13-8 fat body terminal cell clones show a thickening of terminal branches compared to wild-type clones.

Based on the extent of the tracheal luminal phenotype, the following rhea alleles can be ranked from weakest to strongest: rhea15-39 < rhea14-69 < rhea6-66 < rhea13-8.
