W536term
Mutation in codon W536 (TGG to TAG).
Somatic clones of homozygous mutant cells induced specifically in brain optic lobes show large ectopic clusters of Fas3-positive outer proliferation centre (OPC)-derived cells with inner proliferation centre (IPC)-like identity which do not generate neuroblasts. These large clones form in the lobula plate area during post-embryonic development and persist to adulthood (additionally, small Fas3 positive clones accumulate in close vicinity of OPC). The clusters do not show any significant increase in mitotic activity compared to wild-type OPC neuroepithelial cells in third instar stage larvae.
Pcl3-78.38/Pcl3-78.38 mutant migratory progenitors in somatic MARCM clones in the IPC of third instar larval brain optic lobes prematurely differentiate into neuroblasts.
Pcl3-78.38 has embryonic/larval optic lobe | somatic clone | third instar larval stage phenotype, suppressible by Scer\GAL4lama-A8
Expression of Abd-BGD4680 RNAi under the control of Scer\GAL4lama-A8 in the Pcl3-78.38 homozygous mutant somatic clones induced specifically in brain optic lobes prevents the formation of Fas3-positive cell clusters characteristic for Pcl3-78.38 clones.
Separable from: two secondary lethal mutations (at 43A4--43D3 and 50A1--50A7 respectively) on the same chromosome.
