Mlp84BPΔ8-95 mutant larvae exhibit wild-type F-actin striations.
Mlp84BPΔ8-95/Mlp84B[+] is an enhancer of some die during larval stage phenotype of ActnGD1354, Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR
Mlp84BPΔ8-95 has visceral muscle fiber phenotype, suppressible by tn[+]/tnMJO-348
Mlp84BPΔ8-95 has filamentous actin phenotype, suppressible by tn[+]/tnMJO-348
Third instar larvae homozygous for Mlp84BPΔ8-95 and heterozygous for tnMJO-348 exhibit disrupted striations and myofiber tearing, although the defects are not as severe as in homozygous tnMJO-348 mutants. There are fewer adult 'escapers' for Mlp84BPΔ8-95 homozygous mutants in a tnMJO-348 heterozygous background than for Mlp84BPΔ8-95 homozygous mutants alone.
