Statement
Reference
Imprecise excision of the P{GawB} element, resulting in a deletion removing crc exons that encode the bZIP domain. This mutation disrupts crc isoforms A and B. Some or all of the P{GawB} element remains.

hide Detailed Description
Statement
Reference
Mutants show several lethal phases during larval, pupal and adult development. Hemizygotes show 15-50% of their lethality after pupariation. Hemizygous puparia are generally aberrant to varying degrees (approximately 5% are indistinguishable from wild type). The defects include a failure to evert the anterior spiracles, and a retention of a larval shape, which is thinned, elongated and sometimes curved to one side. In the most severe cases, the abdominal gas bubble, which normally forms approximately 6 hours after pupariation, does not appear, although the larval mouthparts are later expelled. Head eversion fails or is incomplete and the leg and wing discs do not completely elongate. Third instar crcR6/Df(2L)Rev8 larvae with multiple mouthparts are seen. crcR6 shows the "head/abdomen-collapsed" phenotype when heterozygous over some second chromosome balancers, suggesting haploinsufficiency for crc in some genetic backgrounds.
