Imprecise excision of P{GSV6}Toll-6GS11682 results in a deletion of the Toll-6 coding region, from approximately 450bp upstream of the transcription start site to between 40 and 50kb downstream of the coding region.
VA1d olfactory receptor neuron axons mistarget either dorsomedially or dorsolaterally in 50% of cases in mutant animals.
The VA1d and DC3 projection neuron dendrites of adNb clones mistarget extensively to dorsomedial and ventral regions in the antennal lobe. Mistargeting of dendrites is also seen in single-cell VA1d or DC3 projection neuron clones.
Homozygous DA1 projection neurons in lateral neuroblast clones show local medial mistargeting at a low penetrance.
Homozygous VA1v projection neurons in ventral neuroblast clones mistarget dendrites to the medial antennal lobe (100% penetrance).
Homozygous single cell DM6 projection neuron clones target their dendrites normally.
Expression of Toll-6Scer\UAS.cYa under the control of Scer\GAL4Mz19 in lateral neuroblast clones in homozygous Toll-6ex13 animals results in extensive intermingling of VA1d olfactory receptor neuron axons and DA1 projection neuron dendrites.
Septic injury of Toll-6ex13 mutant flies results in activation of the innate immune response.
Toll-6ex13 has abnormal neuroanatomy | adult stage phenotype, suppressible by Toll-7UAS.cYa/Scer\GAL4Mz19
Toll-6ex13/Toll-6ex13 is an enhancer of partially lethal - majority die phenotype of Df(2R)BSC22/Toll-7g1-1
18wk02701/18wΔ7-35, Toll-6ex13 has lethal phenotype
Toll-6ex13 has adult olfactory receptor neuron Or88a phenotype, suppressible by Toll-7UAS.cYa/Scer\GAL4Mz19
Toll-6ex13 has adult antennal lobe projection neuron VA1d adPN | somatic clone phenotype, suppressible by Toll-7UAS.cYa/Scer\GAL4Mz19
Toll-6ex13 has adult antennal lobe projection neuron DC3 adPN | somatic clone phenotype, suppressible by Toll-7UAS.cYa/Scer\GAL4Mz19
Toll-6ex13 has dendrite | somatic clone phenotype, suppressible by Toll-7UAS.cYa/Scer\GAL4Mz19
Expression of Toll-7Scer\UAS.cYa under the control of Scer\GAL4Mz19 rescues the VA1d olfactory receptor neuron axon targeting defects seen in Toll-6ex13 mutants.
Expression of Toll-7Scer\UAS.cYa under the control of Scer\GAL4Mz19 also rescues the mistargeting of VA1d and DC3 projection neuron dendrites which is seen in Toll-6ex13 adNb clones.
Expression of Toll-7Scer\UAS.cYa under the control of Scer\GAL4AM29 in homozygous Df(2R)Toll-7AW1 animals results in extensive intermingling of mistargeted DM6 olfactory receptor neuron axons with Scer\GAL4Mz19-positive projection neuron dendrites. This intermingling is still seen if the flies are also carrying Toll-6ex13 mutant adNb clones.
18wΔ7-35/18wk02701; Toll-6ex13/Toll-6ex13 double mutants display 66% lethality.
Toll-6ex13 is rescued by Toll-6Δcyto.UAS.GFP/Scer\GAL4Mz19
Toll-6ex13 is rescued by Toll-6UAS.cYa/Scer\GAL4Mz19
Expression of Toll-6Scer\UAS.cYa under the control of Scer\GAL4Mz19 rescues the dorsal mistargeting of VA1d axons that is seen in Toll-6ex13 mutants. Rescue of the phenotype is still seen if expression of Scer\GAL4Mz19 is limited to the VA1d and DC3 projection neurons using MARCM clonal analysis.
Expression of Toll-6Scer\UAS.cYa under the control of Scer\GAL4Mz19 also rescues the mistargeting of VA1d and DC3 projection neuron dendrites which is seen in Toll-6ex13 adNb clones.
Expression of either Toll-6Δcyto.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP or Toll-6TIR-dead.Scer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG,T:Ivir\HA1,T:Zzzz\His6 under the control of Scer\GAL4Mz19 rescues the mistargeting phenotypes seen in the Scer\GAL4Mz19-positive projection neuron dendrites and VA1d olfactory receptor axons of Toll-6ex13 animals.
