Description

Insertion of a P{lacW} element 65bp upstream to the 5' of the longest hth cDNA.

Insertion of a P{lacW} element. The P{lacW} element is inserted in the same orientation as the direction of transcription of hth.

P{lacW} insertion is immediately upstream of the 5' end of hth transcription unit.

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Homozygotes die during the second larval instar stage. Homozygous embryos show defects in segmentation and head involution. The LCh5 neurons are located in a more dorsal position than normal in more than 30% of the abdominal segments in homozygous embryos. This phenotype is seen most frequently in abdominal segments A5 to A7. The affected neurons usually remain associated with the dorsal PNS cluster, or occasionally they are positioned between the dorsal and lateral PNS clusters. Those neurons that remain associated with the dorsal PNS cluster have dendrites which point ventrally or posteriorly instead of dorsally. The LCh5 neurons exhibit a DCh3-like morphology in abd-AD24 hthdtl-S142204 double mutant embryos and are positioned laterally in 17-19% of abdominal segments.

Homozygous animals expressing hthhs.PP are rescued to adulthood in approximately 15% of cases. The rescued adults have a normal head, notum and abdomen, although they have severely shortened legs (similar to the phenotype caused by ectopic expression of hthhs.PP in a wild-type background).

Homozygotes die as first instar larvae.

Lethality occurs during embryonic and larval stages.

Reference

The split eye phenotype seen in flies expressing tshScer\UAS.cGa under the control of Scer\GAL4dpp.blk1 is suppressed by hthdtl-S142204/+ and pupal lethality is suppressed to 16% (from 42%).

obk1, Antp73b (or AntpNs), hthdtl-S142204 triple mutants produce biramous antenna/legs in place of single antennae.
