    Description

    FlyBase curator comment: this entry is used to capture phenotypic information when the particular allele (or allele combination) used by the author could not be determined but the context of the experiment suggests that the phenotype being described is some kind of loss of function.

    Motorneurons are shorter in mutant embryos compared to wild type. Tendon cells are disrupted in mutant embryos.

    Dendrites of aCC and RP2 motorneurons in shotunspecified mutant embryos display severely reduced complexity in morphology at late embryonic stages compared to controls. In contrast, at the onset of dendrite formation (embryonic stage 15 = 12 hours), there are no obvious aberrations in shotunspecified mutant animals compared to wild-type.

    In late stage embryos, shotunspecified mutant tendon cells are dramatically elongated, held together only through their persisting apico-basal F-actin arrays.

    In shotunspecified mutants, initial formation of the ectodermal keyhole region is normal, but the inward movement of these cells into the endodermal keyhole domain fails to occur. Furthermore, the rim of the proventriculus is significantly reduced in size.

    Mutants show no gross defects in anterior-posterior or dorsal-ventral patterning.

    Homozygotes die as early larvae. Homozygous clones in the wing produce discrete, round blisters of variable size. These blisters can be located anywhere on the wing. Wing venation is normal. Homozygous embryos show no gross morphological abnormalities at hatching. Hatched larvae fail to grow.

    shotunspecified/+ ; Eb104524/+ double heterozygous embryonic neurons in primary culture show shortening of axons and increase disorganisation of the microtubules compared to either single heterozygote.

    Shows a weak genetic interaction with mys8; the frequency of wing blisters is increased from approximately 10% in mys8 single hemizygotes to approximately 20% in mys8 hemizygotes that are also heterozygous for shotunspecified. Shows no interaction with mysb9.

    Expression of shotLA.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP under the control of Scer\GAL4eve.RN2O significantly rescues the motor neuron stall phenotype seen in shotunspecified embryos in vivo.

    Expression of either shotRE-ΔCtail.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP or shotRE-3MtLSmut.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP under the control of Scer\GAL4eve.RN2O does not rescue the motor neuron stall phenotype seen in shotunspecified embryos in vivo.

    Expression of either shotLA.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP or shotRE-3MtLSmut.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP under the control of Scer\GAL4sr-md710 restores tendon cell integrity in shotunspecified embryos.

    Expression of shotRE-ΔCtail.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP under the control of Scer\GAL4sr-md710 fails to rescue tendon cell integrity in shotunspecified embryos.
