In 36% of the hemisegments of drlRed2 stage 16 embryos, lateral transverse muscles (LTMs) bypass their normal attachment at the epidermis at muscle 12 and instead extend ventrally beyond muscle 13 and attach at a novel epidermal site located close to muscle fiber 7. This phenotype is usually only seen in one the three muscles per hemisegment. This LTM overextension phenotype is seen in 16% of third instar larvae.
In 50%% of hemisegments in drlRed2/Df(2L)Exel6043 the lateral transverse muscles (LTMs) bypass their normal attachment at the epidermis at muscle 12 and instead extend ventrally beyond muscle 13 and attach at a novel epidermal site located close to muscle fiber 7.
In 50%% of hemisegments in drlRed2/Df(2L)ED1231 the lateral transverse muscles (LTMs) bypass their normal attachment at the epidermis at muscle 12 and instead extend ventrally beyond muscle 13 and attach at a novel epidermal site located close to muscle fiber 7.
The epidermal clusters of tendon cell precursors in stage 11/12 drlRed2 mutant embryos are similar in size and location to wild type clusters.
Anterior commissure (AC) axons project normally and never enter the posterior commissure (PC) in heterozygous embryos. In homozygous embryos, 34% of segments have AC axons that project entirely through the PC, as well as axons that leave the AC and enter the PC near the midline.
drl[+]/drlRed2 is a non-enhancer of abnormal neuroanatomy | adult stage | dominant phenotype of tapGal4
drlRed2 has lateral transverse muscle cell | embryonic stage 16 phenotype, non-enhanceable by Drl-2E124
drlRed2 has lateral transverse muscle cell | embryonic stage 16 phenotype, non-suppressible by Wnt5400
drlRed2 is an enhancer of lateral transverse muscle cell | embryonic stage 16 phenotype of Wnt5400
drl[+]/drlRed2 is a non-enhancer of adult mushroom body beta-lobe | adult stage phenotype of tapGal4
drlRed2 is a suppressor of larval anterior commissure phenotype of Scer\GAL4sim.PS, Wnt5EY03178
In 36% of the hemisegments in drlRed2 Wnt5400 double mutant embryos, the lateral transverse muscles (LTMs) bypass their normal attachment at the epidermis at muscle 12 and instead extend ventrally beyond muscle 13 and attach at a novel epidermal site located close to muscle fiber 7. This is similar to the number seen in drlRed2 single mutants, but significantly more than is seen in Wnt5400 mutants.
Drl-2E124 does not enhance the lateral transverse muscle attachment defects seen in drlRed2 mutant stage 16 embryos.
drlRed2 is rescued by drlUAS.cCa/Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR
drlRed2 is not rescued by drlUAS.cCa/Scer\GAL4sr-md710
Expression of drlScer\UAS.cCa under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR rescues the lateral transverse muscle attachment defects seen in drlRed2 mutant stage 16 embryos. No rescue is seen when drlScer\UAS.cCa is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4sr-md710.
