Genetic mapping information
Comments

This deletion removes a single ribosomal protein-coding gene (though other genes are also removed).

Affected Genes Inferred by Location (0)
    If no genes are listed here, it may be because the affected region is very large. The JBrowse insert above may show an error for the same reason, and other FlyBase tools such as CytoSearch may also fail for large regions. You can contact FlyBase for more help.
    In these cases, there will be no "Export to Hitlist" button to the left.
    Phenotypic Data
    In combination with other aberrations

    Inferred to overlap with: Df(2R)BSC399.

    Enhancer of In(1)wm4h position-effect variegation.

    NOT in combination with other aberrations

    Flies heterozygous for the deletion do not show a Minute bristle phenotype.

    The Df(2R)PC4 chromosome does not act as a dominant suppressor of telomeric silencing (assayed using the effect of the chromosome on the eye colour phenotype of flies carrying "P{wvar}KR3-2", a stable "brown-red" variant of the P{3'WP-2,wvar}2Lt insertion).

    Heterozygosity for Df(2R)PC4 results in 4.8% X chromosome nondisjunction and 5.8% fourth chromosome nondisjunction in In(1)FM7/X ; svspa-pol females.

    Homozygous embryos have abnormal gut morphology.

    Does not cause unconditional lethality in hybrid females when heterozygous with D.simulans chromosome.

    Weak second site non-complementing phenotype with zipEbr (though not zipmhc-c6.1 : malformed phenotype penetrance 10-24%.

    Shows no maternal enhancement of dpphr4.

    Shows a dose-sensitive interaction with pbhs.PB.

    Uncovers Dsim\jba in D.melanogaster/D.simulans hybrids. Does not uncover Dsim\pm in D.melanogaster/D.simulans hybrids.

    Dominantly causes tergite defects in less than 50% of run3 heterozygotes.

    Deficient embryos show a variably penetrant mutant midgut phenotype: variable constrictions absent.

    Homozygous embryos are very abnormal compared to wild-type and tracheae are not completely connected. Midgut constrictions do not form and Malpighian tubules are poorly differentiated.

    Heterozygosity for this deletion enhances the mutant ovarian phenotype of ovoD2.

    Semiviable over subDub. Transheterozygotes tend to die during the pupal phase or only eclose halfway. Escapers show rough eyes, etched tergites and blistered or nicked wings. Males and females are sterile.

    Fewer larger nuclei.
