Imprecise excision of the P{EP} element in P{EP}Myo61FEP3325a has resulted in a 3454bp deletion, removing the putative initiation codon and the region encoding the ATP-binding site in all the Myo61F isoforms. The expression of CG9184 is unaffected.
3454 bp deletion resulting from the imprecise excision of the progenitor insertion. Genomic coorindates of deletion endpoints reported by author.
The hatching rates and survival rates from first instar larvae to adult of homozygous Myo61F1 mutants (derived from homozygous Myo61F1 mutant females) are similar to those of wild type.
Homozygous Myo61F1 mutants show normal left/right (l/r) asymmetric development in all sections of the embryonic gut.
As in wild type, the 360[o] rotation that takes place in the male genitalia of homozygous Myo61F1 mutant flies during pupal development occurs in the dextral (right-handed) direction.
Myo61F1 is a non-enhancer of abnormal axis specification phenotype of Myo31DFL152
Myo61F1/Myo95E1 is a non-enhancer of abnormal axis specification phenotype of Myo31DFL152
Myo61F1 is an enhancer of male genitalia phenotype of Myo31DFK2

Mutants that are doubly homozygous for Myo61F1 and Myo95E1 show normal left/right (l/r) asymmetric development in all sections of the embryonic gut.
Neither homozygous Myo95E1 nor homozygous Myo61F1 enhances the frequency of left/right (l/r) inversion in the posterior midgut and the hindgut seen in homozygous Myo31DFL152 mutant embryos. As in homozygous Myo31DFL152 mutants alone, ~80% of the double mutants exhibit the l/r reversed phenotype. No further enhancement is seen in the homozygous Myo95E1, Myo61F1 and Myo31DFL152 triple mutants.
As in wild type, the 360[o] rotation that takes place in the male genitalia of double homozygotic Myo95E1 Myo61F1 mutant flies during pupal development occurs in the dextral (right-handed) direction.
Homozygous Myo61F1 enhances the change in direction of male genitalia rotation seen in Myo31DFK2 mutant pupae. As in Myo31DFK2 mutants alone, the double mutants undergo a left-handed (sinistral) rotation, rather than the 360% dextral (right-handed) rotation seen in wild type flies, but a greater proportion undergo a full 360[o] sinistral rotation in the presence of Myo61F1.
Myo61F1/Df(3L)BSC250 enhances the change in direction of male genitalia rotation seen in Myo31DFK2 mutant pupae. As in Myo31DFK2 mutants alone, the double mutants undergo a left-handed (sinistral) rotation, rather than the 360% dextral (right-handed) rotation seen in wild type flies, but a greater proportion undergo a full 360[o] sinistral rotation in the presence of Myo61F1/Df(3L)BSC250.
The presence of homozygous Myo61F1 and Myo95E1 mutations enhances the change in direction of male genitalia rotation seen in Myo31DFK2 mutant pupae. As in Myo31DFK2 mutants alone, the triple mutants undergo a left-handed (sinistral) rotation, rather than the 360[o] dextral (right-handed) rotation seen in wild type flies, but a greater proportion undergo a full 360[o] sinistral rotation in the presence of Myo61F1 and Myo95E1 mutations.
