Drosophila larval coagulation factors have been identified in vitro. Better understanding of insect hemolymph coagulation calls for experiments in vivo. We have characterized a fondue (fon) mutation and null alleles isolated by imprecise excision of a transposable element. Loss of fon was pupal lethal, but adults could be recovered by expressing the UAS::fonGFP construct of Lindgren et al. (2008). Despite their lethality, fon mutations did not affect larval survival after wounding either when tested alone or in combination with a mutation in the hemolectin clotting factor gene. This reinforces the idea of redundant hemostatic mechanisms in Drosophila larvae, and independent pleiotropic functions of the fondue protein in coagulation and a vital process in metamorphosis.
