1.6 kb deletion resulting from the imprecise excision of P{EP}G4182 removes sequences spanning 3R:17794826..17796435 .
pasi1Δ or pasi1Δ/Df(3R)ED5785 or pasi1Δ/Df(3R)BSC566 embryos have a leaky blood-brain barrier. The number and positions of subperineurial glia are normal. Tracheal tubes of these mutants do not fill with air - the tracheal barrier is also compromised - and dorsal trunks are excessively elongated and convoluted. Septate junctions appear discontinuous and severely disorganized at the blood-brain barrier of pasi1Δ embryos. At embryonic stage 15, septate junction markers are also mislocalized in the hindgut and trachea.
The leaky blood-brain barrier phenotype of pasi1Δ embryos is not rescued by Scer\GAL4repo-mediated expression of pasi2Scer\UAS.cDa.
pasi1Δ is rescued by pasi1UAS.cDa/Scer\GAL4repo
pasi1Δ is rescued by Scer\GAL4repo/pasi1UAS.GFP
pasi1Δ is not rescued by pasi1UAS.cDa/Scer\GAL4repo
Scer\GAL4repo-mediated expression of pasi1Scer\UAS.cDa restores blood-brain barrier function, but not the tracheal defects, in pasi1Δ embryos.
Scer\GAL4repo-mediated expression of pasi1Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP restores blood-brain barrier function to pasi1Δ embryos.
