Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

caz2 hemizygous males bearing one copy of caz+tMa do not show any obvious adult lifespan or climbing ability (i.e. speed), as compared to controls. Adult caz2 hemizygous males expressing cazUAS.x10.Tag:FLAG under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155, however, exhibit a significant decrease in climbing ability (i.e. speed), as compared to controls.

caz2 hemizygous males exhibit lethality during P-stage, with a subset of animals developing to pharate adults that fail to eclose from the pupal case, and a very small fraction of adult escapers. When partially eclosed pharate adults are dissected out of their pupal case, these flies exhibit severe motor coordination phenotypes and die within a day.

caz2 males rescued to adulthood by Df(3R)Xrp1-Plus heterozygosity or by the expression of either Xrp1HMS00053 or Xrp1GD9476 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 are short lived and show significant decreases in adult climbing ability (i.e. speed), as compared to controls.

Expressing cazUAS.x10.Tag:FLAG under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 fully rescues caz2 hemizygous males' pupal lethality, the resulting adults exhibit an apparently normal lifespan, but exhibit a significant decrease in climbing ability (i.e. speed), as compared to controls.

Expression of cazScer\UAS.x10.T:Zzzz\FLAG under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 partially rescues the lethality seen in caz2 hemizygous males.
