The entire Ced-12 coding region has been deleted.
Ced-1250 zygotic mutant embryos exhibit myoblast fusion defects.
Ced-1250, Rho172O has myoblast phenotype, suppressible by Rho1UASp.GFP/Scer\GAL4kirre-rP298-G4
Ced-1250, Rho172O has myoblast phenotype, non-suppressible by Rho1UASp.GFP/Scer\GAL4kirre-rP298-G4
Rho172O enhances the myoblast fusion defects seen in Ced-1250 mutant embryos.
Expression of Rho1Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic\GFP in founder cells under the control of Scer\GAL4kirre-rP298 partially suppresses the myoblast fusion defects seen in Ced-1250 Rho172O mutant embryos, returning fusion to the level of Ced-1250 mutants alone. No suppression is seen when Rho1Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic\GFP is expressed in fusion-competent myoblasts under the control of Scer\GAL4sns.PK.
