Description

Amino acid replacement: S1088I. Mutant partially sequenced; correlated with single amino acid replacements within six adjacent EGF-homologous elements of the N protein; has Gly at residue 2057 characteristic of Oregon R rather than Ser of Canton S (Kelley, Kidd, Deutsch and Young, 1987). Mutation involves a change from serine to isoleucine at residue 1088 in EGF repeat 27; AGT --> ATT (Kelley, Kidd, Deutsch and Young, 1987).

Detailed Description

NAx-71d is a temperature-sensitive lethal allele: male viable at 25[o]C but nearly lethal at 29[o]C.

NAx-71d mutants exhibit elevated levels of asymmetry relative to Canton-S flies for scutellar and thoracic bristles. These mutants also show reduced mean character size for thoracic bristles.

NAx-71d mutants show significantly reduced mean character size for orbital bristles compared to Canton-S flies.

Length of microchaetae, macrochaetae and longitudinal wing veins is reduced with respect to that of wild type. Heteroallelic combinations with lethal Abruptex alleles show stronger phenotypes at 29oC than when heterozygous with a N null at 29oC.

Hemizygous males lack the ventral sensillum of wing vein L3 and the anterior cross vein sensillum, and often lack the twin sensilla of the wing margin and the three sensilla of wing vein L3. The marginal nerve often shows neuroma-like swellings and may be truncated. The L3 nerve is often misrouted into posterior regions of the wing which normally do not contain nerves.

Viable, enhancer type.

Homozygous, viable, phenotype like NAx-1. Viable with alleles NAx-E2 and NAx-16 and lethal with NAx-1 and NAx-9 (negative complementation), but viability restored by Dp(1;2)51b. There is no obvious effect on the Notch phenotype in heterozygotes with Df(1)N-8 or N55e11, but Ax phenotype is expressed. In heterozygotes with NAx-E2, the mutant phenotype is weakly expressed; heterozygotes with lethal alleles NAx-59b and NAx-59d are lethal. NAx-71d is complementary with recessive alleles at Notch at 18oC, 25oC and 29oC. The mutant expression of Ax tends to increase with increasing temperature except that NAx-71d/Nnd-2 at 29oC has no Ax expression.

Does not modify the N haplo-insufficient phenotype of loss of the wing margin. NAx-71d shows negative complementation with NAx-M1.
