Personal communication from: Bloomington Drosophila Stock Center Subject: Alleles, transposons and insertions not in FlyBase Background: An assortment of genes, alleles and transposon insertions at Bloomington but not in FlyBase are listed. Information communicated: Gene-alleles M(3)40l301 -- letter l, not number 1, in gene symbol; this is a Minute attributed to Ed Lewis. ms(3)nc141 -- nc stands for noncomplementer; this EMS-induced male sterile allele fails to complement recessive betaTub85D alleles but it does not map to that locus. Made by Ken Kemphues. ms(3)ry11 -- associated with the (unlocalized) insertion of P{ry11}, to us from Allan Spradling. ms(3)ry31 -- associated with the (unlocalized) insertion of P{ry11}, to us from Allan Spradling. Dsim\yK -- to us from John Roote of the Ashburner lab. This allele arose (was induced?) in the D. simulans wild-type strain C167.4. Fertile hybrid females are produced from crosses of Dsim\yK females to D. melanogaster In(1)AB males. Transposon insertions P{Acp70Ag.Yp1.hs}G10 -- location of insertion unknown. Induces ovulation in virgin females; useful for recovering large numbers of unfertilized eggs. From Eric Kubli. P{Act5C-GAL4}17bFO1 -- insertion on chromosome 3. From Yash Hiromi. P{Act5C-GAL4}25FO1 -- insertion on chromosome 2. From Yash Hiromi. P{AyGAL4}25 -- insertion on chromosome 2. From Yash Hiromi. Might be the same as P{AyGAL4}2nd.I, but 25 is the insertion identifier used by the donor of the stock. P{ HS:Ubx-Ia }22 -- insertion on chromosome 3. From Richard Mann. P{lacW}64A -- insertion in 64A. lacZ expressed in sensory organ precursor cells and PNS. From Hugo Bellen. P{GawB}c49 -- Unlocalized insertion. GAL4 expression pattern in oocyte: follicle cells strong at posterior pole, graded anteriorly. From Lynn Manseau. P{lacW}k13720 -- l(3)k13720 is unverified. The chromosome is therefore represented as P{lacW}k13720, l(3)k13720k13720. P{lacW}k07118 -- l(3)k07118 is unverified. The chromosome is therefore represented as P{lacW}k07118, l(3)k07118k07118. Transposons and insertions P{NGT}40 -- nanos promoter driving GAL4, 3' UTR from a maternally expressed alpha-tubulin, in pCaSpeR. Insertion on chromosome 2. From Peter Gergen. Note from KM: although he didn't specify, the tubulin is probably alphaTub67C, the only one that is exclusively maternal. P{UAS-NZ}20b -- SV40 T NLS-lacZ fusion in pUAST (beta-gal is localized to the nucleus). Insertion on chromosome 2. From Yash Hiromi and S. West, unpublished. P{UAS-NZ}J312 -- Insertion on chromosome 3. From Yash Hiromi and S. West, unpublished. P{prd-GAL4}RG1 -- References: FBrf0064375 and FBrf0083528. Insertion on chromosome 3. GAL4 expressed in a prd pattern. Synonyms Oab1 is a synonym for OabSCG1 Opl1 is a synonym for OplSC1 Roa1 is a synonym for RoaSCG1
