Indel mutation (4bp deletion, 74bp insertion) within the second coding exon of CG9003. The mutation is predicted to result in a truncated protein as the first 3 nucleotides of the 74bp insertion encode a TAA stop codon.
Inferred location of a 4bp deletion and 74bp insertion in the second coding exon of CG9003. The double strand break is reported as occurring 15 nucleotides downstream of the ATG for isoform CG9003- RC. The first three nucleotides of the inserted sequence encode a stop codon (TAA). The mapped location of the 4 base deletion is approximate.
While mushroom body gamma neurons of CG9003indel homozygotes grow normally, adult mushroom bodies consistently display pruning defects.
CG9003indel has abnormal neuroanatomy | adult stage phenotype, enhanceable by slmb3A1/slmb[+]
CG9003indel has gamma Kenyon cell | adult stage phenotype, enhanceable by slmb3A1/slmb[+]
CG9003indel has axon | adult stage phenotype, enhanceable by slmb3A1/slmb[+]
CG9003indel homozygous adults show mushroom body gamma neuron pruning defects, which become more severe in a slmb3A1 heterozygous background.
