Nature of the lesion
Statement
Reference
The deletion uncovers the nuclease hypersensitive region of the Mcp, continuing distally towards the iab-5 region.
3.5kb deletion in the cis regulatory region, removing a silencer element MCP725.
Deletion of a 3.6kb DNA segment from the region in between iab-4 and iab-5 cis-regulatory domains (from map position +94 to +97.6kb in the bithorax complex).
Alteration at coordinate +94-97.6kb, proximal to the Abd-B transcript.
94-97.6 kb deleted.

hide Detailed Description
Statement
Reference
heterozygous mutant adults have a pigments abdominal segment 4, showing a transformation of the a4 to a5. This is seen in 100% of mutants, with constant and high expressivity.
Heterozygous males show a decrease in the total amount of both monoene and 7,11-diene cuticular hydrocarbons compared to wild-type males. Heterozygous females show a significant increase in the level of monoene cuticular hydrocarbons and a significant decrease in the level of 7,11-diene cuticular hydrocarbons compared to wild-type females.
In males homozygous for Abd-BMcp-1,Abd-BSab-1, male specific pigmentation is expanded into A3 and A4.
A4 is transformed to A5 identity and is a darkly pigmented.

Statement
Reference
The penetrance of the wing defect phenotype caused by brk[Mcp] is decreased to 7.7% if the animals are also homozygous for Abd-B[Mcp-1].
96% of Abd-BMcp-1, TrlR85 double heterozygotes have a partially de-pigmented abdominal segment 4.
The third abdominal segment is transformed towards segment five or six in males also carrying ph-d1 or ph-d2.

hide Comments
DNase hypersensitivity assays reveal the deletion contains one very prominent nuclease sensitive region as well as several minor hypersensitive sites. Mcp appears to be associated with an unusual chromatin structure.
The phenotype of Abd-BMcp-1/Abd-BMcp-1 closely resembles that of Abd-BCst/+.
m- r+ mutant, with defect in spatial regulation of Abd-B function. No effect on penetrance of head defect phenotype when in trans with Abd-Biab9-tuh-3.
