Excision of theP-element insertion.
hepr39 neuroblast clones in mushroom bodies show axonal degeneration, though the main observable phenotype is overextension of axons.
Discs dissected from L3 larvae are delayed in their development, reduced in size, and malformed or misfolded. Dissected pupae reveal one consistent and major defect: the absence or aberrant spreading and fusion of the two lateral wing discs. In some cases eversion does take place, in the absence of disc fusion. In viablehepr39/hepr75 transheterozygotes wing disc morphogenesis can proceed almost normally, with occasional unilateral defects.hepr39/hep1 adult females show mutant cleft thorax and bristle defects.

The axon degeneration and overextension phenotypes ofhepr39 neuroblast clones in mushroom bodies is not suppressed by expression ofMkk4Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-YFP usingScer\GAL4ey-OK107.
The lethality of hemizygous males is not significantly rescued byMmus\Prkmk7Ubi-p63E.PH,Xlae\Mek2Ubi-p63E.PH orMmmm\Sek1Ubi-p63E.PH.
hepr39 is rescued byhepUAS.cBa/Scer\GAL4ey-OK107
Expression ofhepScer\UAS.cBa withScer\GAL4ey-OK107 rescues the axonal phenotypes seen inhepr39 mushroom body clones.
The lethality of hemizygous males is rescued byhepUbi-p63E.PG, giving rise to viable, fertile adults in 48% of cases.
