Description

Deletion of the C-terminal 49 amino acids.

Approximately 200bp deletion, plus insertion of 4 nucleotides (CTGA), within the 3' region of the Scm transcription unit, at the 3' end of the ORF. The C-terminal 49 amino acids of Scm protein, including most of the SPM domain, are removed and replaced by 26 novel amino acids encoded by extension of the open reading frame into the 3' UTR.

Comment:

251bp at the 3' end of Scm are deleted and replaced with 4 nucleotides (CTGA). As a result, the final 49 amino acids of Scm are deleted and replaced with 26 novel amino acids.

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Homozygotes die during the embryonic or first larval instar stages.

Strong allele.

Pc3 Scm4 heterozygotes have an extreme wing to haltere transformation. This phenotype is normalised towards wild-type in flies also carrying a Ubx mutation in the coding region or abx regulatory region.

Heterozygous males are viable and often show ectopic sex comb teeth. Mild suppressor of z1 eye colour.

Genetic Interactions
Statement
Reference

No significant modification of the number of sex combs is seen in Scm4/+ corto420/+ double heterozygotes compared to Scm4/+ single heterozygotes.

Dominantly enhances the homeotic phenotypes of Pc3/+ adults. ph-p409 males that are also heterozygous for Scm4 show partial lethality.

Xenogenetic Interactions
Statement
Reference

The addition of Scm4 increases the rate of leg to wing disc transdetermination to 11.0%
