Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Eggs derived from egg chambers containing complete homozygous follicle cell clones appear normal and have two dorsal appendages.

spi3 mutant embryos have only 1 cap attachment cell per lch5 chordotonal organ rather than the 2 per organ seen in wild-type while lch5 ligament attachment cells are often absent or deformed.

Homozygous embryos show loss of VA2 muscle precursor cells (only 1.1% of hemisegments contain VA2 precursor cells).

Germline clones fail to rescue the female sterile phenotype of Fs(2)Ugr.

The DA1 muscle precursors form in all segments in spi3 heterozygous embryos.

Mutant embryos exhibit tracheal phenotype.

Epidermal defects and fusion of the anterior and posterior commissures. In the PNS some sensory organs are missing, there is a ventral-dorsal gradient of severity. Several muscle fibres are always missing in the dorsolateral region and there are variable abnormalities in the number, shape and attachment sites of the eight ventral oblique muscle fibres.

Statement
Reference

Expression of csw::Src64Bsrc90.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4twi.PG significantly suppresses the loss of VA2 muscle precursor cells seen in spi3 embryos (67% of hemisegments have VA2 cells).

The loss of the DA1 muscle precursor seen in vn10567 embryos is dominantly enhanced by spi3. Does not suppress the production of extra eve-positive muscle precursor clusters seen in embryos expressing vnScer\UAS.cYa under the control of Scer\GAL469B.

Reduction in dose of spi rescues the rhohs.sev eye to a near wild-type phenotype; regular array of ommatidia, regular arrangement of photoreceptors and unbroken lattice of pigment cells. Rescue is not always complete.

Comments

Loss of midline glial cells in spi3 homozygous embryos is rescued by spiScer\UAS.cSa driven with Scer\GAL4elav.PLu, but not with Scer\GAL4sim.PS.

Animals heterozygous for spiSCP2 and spi3 which have been rescued by spiScer\UAS.cSa with Scer\GAL4hs.PB to the third instar stage show relatively normal ommatidial development at the posterior of the eye imaginal disc. More anterior columns of ommatidia have reduced photoreceptors. In the lamina, retinal projections appeared normal but LPCs show no neuronal differentiation. This phenotype is rescued by the introduction of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF or in clones induced to produce Scer\GAL4αTub84B.PP.
