Phenotypic Description (Red Book; Lindsley and Zimm 1992)

Px: Plexate

Px: Plexate

From "Edith M. Wallace, unpublished."

Wing veins of heterozygote with plexuslike or delta-like thickenings, most often near posterior crossvein, and free fragments of vein, most often in third posterior cell; L4 vein bent near margin. Wings smaller and narrower than wild type and dusky textured. Closely resembles bs. Expression more extreme in female; enhanced by cold (19). Homozygous Df(2R)Px lethal as embryo (Li, 1927, Genetics 12: 1-58); Df(2R)Px2 cell lethal (Ripoll and Garcia-Bellido, 1979, Genetics 91: 443-53). Mutants asssociated with deficiencies near tip of 2R.

Expression Data

Testis-specificity index

The testis specificity index was calculated from modENCODE tissue expression data by Vedelek et al., 2018 to indicate the degree of testis enrichment compared to other tissues. Scores range from -2.52 (underrepresented) to 5.2 (very high testis bias).

Haploinsufficient locus (not associated with strong haplolethality or haplosterility).

(Cook et al., 2012)

A screen that identified Dominant enhancers of the wing phenotype associated with Dl^9P and Dl^FE32 identified 7 new Px alleles.

(Klein and Campos-Ortega, 1992)

Px, net, dsr, px and emc loci belong to the plexus phenotypic group within the 'excess-of-vein' mutant class. Extra veins occur parallel to and between normal veins that connect to each other by crossveins forming plexi. Plexi are distal. Proximal regions shift to the margin leaving a central area devoid of veins. Sensilla and chaetae appear shifted. Combinations of mutations produce superadditive phenotypes.

(Diaz-Benjumea et al., 1989)

Dominant loss of function phenotype seen in Df(2R)Px1 (FBab0002026) Df(2R)Px2 (FBab0002027), Df(2R)Px5 (FBab0002028) and In(2LR)Px⁴ (FBab0004789).

Wing veins of heterozygote with plexus-like or delta-like thickenings, most often near posterior crossvein and free fragments of vein, most often in third posterior cell; L4 vein bent near margin. Wings smaller and narrower than wild type and dusky textured. Closely resembles bs. Expression more extreme in female; enhanced by cold (19[o]).

Nomenclature comments

The gene symbol "Px" has been changed to "Plexate" in order to reduce confusion with the "px" ("plexus") gene symbol, from which it differed only by case.
