Site of nucleotide substitution in mutant inferred by FlyBase based on reported amino acid change.
ptchdl homozygotes show fully penetrant headcase defects and die at late pupal stage. ptchdl animals transheterozygous for any of the following ptc alleles: ptcS2, ptc14, ptc8, ptc12, ptc7 or ptc9 are viable with lowly penetrant headcase defects and all except ptchdl/ptcS2 also show lowly penetrant locomotor defects in adulthood.
Brains from ptchdl/ptc9 transheterozygous adults with severe locomotor defects show presence of lamellar inclusions and/or membranous material in neurons that are rarely present in either wild-type, young mutants or older mutant flies that do not display locomotor defects.
100% of ptchdl adults transheterozygous with ptcH84 show head capsule defects. the eye antennal discs from these individuals appear to be normal in size, during the second instar stages, by the mid to late third instar stages mutant discs are small and lacking organised folds and swirls of proliferating cells. These phenotypes appear to caused by a lack of precursor cell proliferation in the disc.
ptchdl in combination with ptcS2 or ptc7 does not lead to any head capsule defects.
100% of ptchdl adults transheterozygous with ptc17, ptc4, ptc10, ptcIIC99, or ptc9 show head capsule defects. These defects include head deformation, clefts, and loss of antenna.
50% of ptchdl/ptc14 transheterozygotes show head capsule defects.
83% of ptchdl/ptc5 transheterozygotes show head capsule defects.
8% of ptchdl/ptc8 transheterozygotes show head capsule defects.
75% of ptchdl/ptc12 transheterozygotes show head capsule defects.
3% of ptchdl/ptc559.1 transheterozygotes show head capsule defects.
In combination with null alleles of ptc shows severe head defects. Cells of the mutant discs fail to proliferate. This defect in disc morphogenesis becomes physically apparent by 3rd instar larval stage.
ptchdl/ptcH84 has adult head capsule phenotype, suppressible by baboQ302D.UAS/Scer\GAL469B
ptchdl/ptcH84 has adult head capsule phenotype, non-suppressible by Df(3L)H99
ptchdl/ptcH84 has adult head capsule phenotype, non-suppressible by smo1
The addition of smo1 to ptcH84/ptchdl animals has no effect on the head capsule defect phenotype. All animals continue to show the phenotype. The addition of Df(3L)H99 of ptcH84/ptchdl does not suppress head capsule defects. The addition of baboQ302D.Scer\UAS (driven by Scer\GAL469B) suppresses the head capsule defect phenotype seen in ptcH84/ptchdl. None of these animals exhibit head capsule defects. The addition of baboQ302D.Scer\UAS (driven by Scer\GAL469B) suppresses the head capsule defect phenotype seen in ptcH84/ptchdl. None of these animals exhibit head capsule defects.
