A set of transgenic insertion stocks derived by TE mobilization using the using the P-element construct P{EP}. The P{EP} construct construct carries a w[+mC] mini-white visible marker, Scer\UAS binding sites for the Scer\GAL4 transcriptional regulator, and bacterial sequences that allow plasmid rescue (FBrf0090768). The GAL4-UAS system allows regulated expression of genes proximate to the site of the insertion: genes properly oriented with respect to the Scer\UAS sequences can be conditionally expressed via transgene-derived Scer\GAL4 activity.

Statement
Reference
The majority of CTCF[GE24185] flies are fully rescued by the presence of CTCF[+t.5084], with a few showing various degrees of held-out wings and are unable to walk properly. The rescued flies are fertile and can be used to establish a breeding stock. The majority of CTCF[GE24185]/Df(3L)0463 flies are fully rescued by the presence of CTCF[+t.5084], with a few showing various degrees of held-out wings and are unable to walk properly. The rescued flies are fertile and can be used to establish a breeding stock.
CTCF[GE24185] homozygotes exhibit reduced viability (66%) and held-out wings. Male genitalia are rotated up to 30[o]. Males exhibit an A4 patchy pigmentation, partial loss of pigment in A5 tergite (indicating that A5 is nominally transformed in A4), eight bristles on the sixth sternite, and a small seventh tergite (10-20%). Embryos from F[[2]] homozygotes do not eclose. CTCF[GE24185]/Df(3L)0463 trans-heterozygotes show a highly penetrant mild (60[o]) held-out wing phenotype, various homeotic transformations and sterility in both males and females. Male genitalia are rotated by 40[o]-120[o]. Males exhibit patchy pigmentation in the A4 abdominal segment, partial loss of pigment in the A5 tergite, eight bristles on the sxith sternite, and a small seventh tergite. Females exhibit bristles on the A7 sternite that have lost orientation.
