This deletion removes a single ribosomal protein-coding gene (though other genes are also removed).
Lethal in combination with Df(2R)BSC814.
Loss of the anterior crossvein is seen in 41% of Df(2R)Pu-D17 Df(2R)en-SFX31 double heterozygous flies.
The penetrance of the extra sex comb teeth phenotype seen in Df(3L)Pc flies is suppressed by Df(2R)Pu-D17.
Df(2R)E2/Df(2R)Pu-D17 transheterozygotes show gross disorganization of epithelial tissues in the head, ventral epidermis, Malpighian tubules and tracheal ducts. Malpighian tubule tip cells are present and differentiate into neurons, as in wild type. Phenotype is alleviated by shghs.PU.
Df(2R)Pu-D17 animals show reduced lifespan compared to controls.
Flies heterozygous for the deletion do not show a Minute bristle phenotype.
The Df(2R)Pu-D17 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).
Heterozygotes show a quantitative effect on wing shape in intervein regions B, C and D compared to wild type.
Homozygotes die during late embryogenesis with a defect in the ventral region.
Does not cause unconditional lethality in hybrid females when heterozygous with D.simulans chromosome.
No second site non-complementing phenotype with zipEbr and zipmhc-c6.1.
Shows no maternal enhancement of dpphr4.
Does not uncover Dsim\jba in D.melanogaster/D.simulans hybrids. Uncovers Dsim\pm in D.melanogaster/D.simulans hybrids.
Dominantly causes tergite defects in less than 50% of run3 heterozygotes.
Deficient embryos show an uninterpretable mutant midgut phenotype.
Homozygous embryos are very abnormal compared to wild-type.
Heterozygosity for this deletion has no effect on the mutant ovarian phenotype of ovoD2.
Severe morphological defect.
