Despite the identification of a number of guidance molecules, a comprehensive picture has yet to emerge to explain the precise anatomy of the olfactory map. From a misexpression screen of 1,515P{GS}lines, we identified 23 genes that, when forcibly expressed in the olfactory receptor neurons, disrupted the stereotyped anatomy of theDrosophilaantennal lobes. These genes, which have not been shown previously to control olfactory map development, encode novel proteins as well as proteins with known roles in axonal outgrowth and cytoskeletal remodeling. We analyzedAkap200, which encodes a Protein Kinase A‐binding protein. Overexpression ofAkap200resulted in fusion of the glomeruli, while its loss resulted in misshapen and ectopic glomeruli. The requirement ofAkap200validates our screen as an effective approach for recovering genes controlling glomerular map patterning. Our finding of diverse classes of genes reveals the complexity of the mechanisms that underlie olfactory map development. genesis 44:189–201, 2006. Published 2006 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
