Imprecise excision of P{EP}CycCGE22979, resulting in deletion of the entire P{EP} element plus 1429 and 1304 bp 5' and 3' flanking genomic DNA, respectively, thus removing all CycC protein-coding sequences.

Embryos derived from homozygous female germline clones are smaller than controls and die as embryos without proper denticle formation.
Pupariation is delayed by approximately 2-3 days in homozygous animals. This developmental delay is not rescued by feeding with 20-hydroxyecdysone.
97% of homozygous prepupae fail to evert their anterior spiracles, and the prepupae are partially separated from the pupal case.
The level of ecdysteroids is significantly lower than normal in homozygous late wandering third instar larvae.
Homozygous larvae have a significantly increased triglyceride content compared to controls.
Inclusion of a single Scer\GAL4arm.PS, CycCScer\UAS.cLa recombinant chromosome rescues CycCY5 homozygotes to a limited extent, although emerging adults show some loss of sensory organs and malformed sex combs.
Generation of CycCY5 clones specifically in the leg (using Scer\GAL4Dll-em212 and Scer\FLP1Scer\UAS.cUa) and in a Minute background results in severely stunted legs. In an other wild type background, these clones result in tarsal segmentation defects in all three paris of adult legs. Male prothoracic (T1) legs exhibit sex combs with slightly elevated teeth number and discontinuities in the tooth alignment, leading to irregularly grouped, fragmented sex combs. Leg size is relatively unaffected, but the most proximal tarsal joint is usually abnormal.
Generation of large CycCY5 clones specifically in the eye (using Scer\FLP1ey.PB) in a Minute background results in full-sized eyes with mostly normal differentiated ommatidia.
Heat-induced CycCY5 clones in the adult notum are associated with loss of bristles.
CycCY5/CycCUAS.cLa, Scer\GAL4arm.PS has partially lethal - majority die phenotype, non-suppressible by UQCR-C1Ubi-p63E.PL
The partial rescue of CycCY5 or CycCY5/Df(3R)CycCY8 lethality observed when a single Scer\GAL4arm.PS, CycCScer\UAS.cLa recombinant chromosome is present is not further rescued by inclusion of CG3731Ubi-p63E.PL.
CycCY5 is partially rescued by Scer\GAL4arm.PS/CycCUAS.cLa
CycCT:Avic\GFP-EGFP rescues the developmental delay to pupariation, the failure of prepupal anterior spiracle eversion and the prepupal lethality of CycCY5 animals.
Inclusion of a single Scer\GAL4arm.PS, CycCScer\UAS.cLa recombinant chromosome rescues CycCY5 homozygotes and CycCY5/Df(3R)CycCY8 animals to a limited extent, although emerging adults show some loss of sensory organs and malformed sex combs. Inclusion of two Scer\GAL4arm.PS, CycCScer\UAS.cLa chromosomes leads to extensive rescue of CycCY5 homozygotes and these adults are morphologically normal.
