hide Detailed Description
Statement
Reference
An A7-like terminal abdominal segment (similar to abdominal segment 7 found in wild-type females) forms and A6 sternite is transformed toward anterior identity in Abd-B[Fab7-1]/Abd-B[M2] trans-heterozygous males.
Abd-B[Fab7-1]/+ males undergo an A6 to A7 transformation, resulting in a half-reduced A6 segment.
Heterozygous males have a rudimentary A6 segment.
Heterozygous males show a reduction in size of the sixth abdominal tergite to the size of the seventh abdominal tergite in Abd-BSz/+ males. Abd-BSz/Abd-BFab7-1 males show a reduction in size of both the sixth and seventh abdominal tergites to the size of the seventh abdominal tergite in Abd-BSz/+ males. Abd-BFab7-1/Df(3R)P9 males have A6 and A7 tergites similar to those of Abd-BSz/Abd-BFab7-1 males, and also show partial transformation of segment A5 into A4. Abd-Biab8-D16/Abd-BFab7-1 males show a reduction in size of the seventh abdominal tergite to the size of the seventh abdominal tergite in Abd-BSz/+ males, however, the sixth abdominal tergite is larger in Abd-Biab8-D16/Abd-BFab7-1 males than in Abd-BSz/+ males and more closely resembles wild-type. The phenotype of abdominal segment 6 is similar in Abd-BFab7-1/Abd-BD18, Abd-BFab7-1/Df(3R)ul10 and Abd-BFab7-1/+ flies.
Transforms PS11 to PS12.
Homozygotes show complete transformation of abdominal segment A6 to A7.
Transforms parasegment 11 to parasegment 12 identity.
Transformation of parasegment 11 to 12.
Transformation of abdominal segment 6 to A7 identity.
A6 is completely transformed into A7 in homozygotes.
Duplication of parasegment 12-like Abd-B expression in parasegment 11.
Transforms A6 into A7. Larval phenotype suggests the effect is parasegmental. Misregulates Abd-B by ectopic activation of the parasegment 12 specific function in parasegment 11.

Statement
Reference
The penetrance of the wing defect phenotype caused by brk[Mcp] is decreased to 14.5% if the animals are also homozygous for Abd-B[Fab7-1].
One copy of corto[420] enhances the expressivity of the A6-A7 transformation seen in Abd-B[Fab7-1]/+ males. The A6 segment has completely disappeared in 100% of male flies. One copy of corto[07128b] enhances the expressivity of the A6-A7 transformation seen in Abd-B[Fab7-1]/+ males. The A6 segment has completely disappeared in 100% of male flies. Expression of CycG[dsRNA.Scer\UAS] under the control of Scer\GAL4[da.G32] slightly enhances the homeotic transformation from A7 to A6 seen in Abd-B[Fab7-1] male heterozygotes. The expressivity is slightly enhanced in 86% of flies but at least a thin A6 segment always persists. No cuticular defects are seen in either abdominal segment A5 or the remaining A6 tergites. Expression of CycG[Scer\UAS.cSa] under the control of Scer\GAL4[da.G32] slightly enhances the homeotic transformation from A7 to A6 seen in Abd-B[Fab7-1] male heterozygotes. The A6 segment has completely disappeared in 56% of flies. 100% of males completely lack A6 when CycG[Scer\UAS.cSa] is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4[Act.NP3121]. Expression of CycG[dsRNA.Scer\UAS] under the control of Scer\GAL4[Act.NP3121] and one copy of corto[07128b] enhance the A7 to A6 homeotic transformation seen in the few Abd-B[Fab7-1]/+ male escapers.
The addition of barrL305/+ has no effect on the abdominal segment phenotype of Abd-BFab7-1/+.
The heterozygous gain of function phenotype is unchanged in a Polycomb group mutant background.
