A transmembrane domain (Tag:TM(Synth)) flanked by Tag:V5 (intracellular) and Tag:MYC (extracellular) epitope tags has been introduced to the C-terminus of NetB. The transmembrane domain is expected to tether the NetB protein to the cell membrane.
Comment: expressed in tin-positive cardioblasts
A small percentage of R8 axons in NetBKI.T:SV5\V5,T:Zzzz\TM,T:Hsap\MYC mutants project abnormally, past the distal medulla neuropil border at 24 and 42 hour after pupal formation. Projections are unaffected at 55 hours and in adults.
NetBtm/NetAΔ is a suppressor of abnormal neuroanatomy phenotype of Scer\GAL4NP6558, unc-5UAS.cKa
NetBtm/NetAΔ is a non-suppressor of abnormal neuroanatomy phenotype of Scer\GAL4insc-Mz1407, unc-5UAS.cKa
NetBtm/NetAΔ is a suppressor of larval longitudinal connective phenotype of Scer\GAL4NP6558, unc-5UAS.cKa
NetBtm/NetAΔ is a non-suppressor of larval ventral nerve cord commissure phenotype of Scer\GAL4insc-Mz1407, unc-5UAS.cKa
The anterior commissure appears normal in all segments and the posterior commissure appears normal in most of the segments in NetAΔ, NetBKI.T:SV5\V5,T:Zzzz\TM,T:Hsap\MYC double mutant embryos. Similarly to wild-type, both the EW and EG axons cross the midline in every segment of NetAΔ, NetBKI.T:SV5\V5,T:Zzzz\TM,T:Hsap\MYC embryos.
NetAΔ, NetBKI.T:SV5\V5,T:Zzzz\TM,T:Hsap\MYC animals are viable and fertile with no obvious morphological phenotype.
Short-range repulsion is preserved in NetAΔ, NetBKI.T:SV5\V5,T:Zzzz\TM,T:Hsap\MYC embryos that express unc-5Scer\UAS.cKa under the control of Scer\GAL41407, as the ventral nerve cord commissures are completely absent in every segment examined.
Long-range axon-repulsion is completely abolished in NetAΔ, NetBKI.T:SV5\V5,T:Zzzz\TM,T:Hsap\MYC embryos that express unc-5Scer\UAS.cKa under the control of Scer\GAL4ato-NP6558.
