Deletion of two segments within Ndg ( 2R:10314236..10315587 and 2R:10316460..10319543 ), plus insertion of two nucleotides (TT) after position 2R:10316459 .
TT
basement membrane | larval stage (with Ndg2)
Ndg1 mutants adults do not show any obvious morphological abnormalities; homozygous females lay significantly fewer egg but these do not show any obvious morphological defects. Ndg1 homozygotes and Ndg1/Df(2R)BSC281 transheterozygotes show a significantly longer chill coma recovery time, but no defects in flight or climbing activity under control conditions, as compared to controls.
Ndg1 homozygotes exhibit basement membrane discontinuity in the larval fat body and in adult indirect flight muscles, but do not show any obvious basement membrane defects in the embryo, larval epidermis, imaginal discs, salivary glands, gut, muscles, VNC or follicular epithelium in the ovary; Ndg1/Ndg2, Ndg1/NdgΔRod-G3.1 and Ndg1/Df(2R)BSC281 transheterozygotes also show discontinuity of the basement membrane in the larval fat body. The larval fat body of Ndg1 homozygotes present significantly smaller lipid droplets, as compared to controls.
