Polytene chromosomes normal.

Description

Encodes a mutant transcript which contains the third exon of Pka-R2 (this includes the ATG) but lacks the first and second exons of wild-type Pka-R2. Sequence from the 14-3-3ΞΆ and Jra genes (which are normally located approximately 100kb distal to Pka-R2) are present in place of the missing exons. The sequence of the mutant transcript is consistent with the underlying aberration being an inversion.

cosV1 Pka-R2Cos-A1 double heterozygotes show a large duplication of the costa region in the wing. The duplication contains triple-row and double-row bristles, indicating it consists of anterior structures.

Wings are duplicated when transheterozygous with Df(2R)CA58 (cos-). In flies also mutant for en1, duplications only occur in the original anterior compartment, and not in the transformed posterior compartment, indicating that the duplications develop as a position response. The phenotype of embryos resulting from crosses involving viable alleles of cos and Pka-R2Cos-A1 indicate a maternal effect on the interaction between Pka-R2 and cos. If the female parent is heterozygous for a viable allele of cos and Pka-R2Cos-A1, and the male parent for Pka-R2Cos-A1, 11% of the embryos show a strong bicaudal phenotype (whereas the reciprocal cross produces less than 1% bicaudal embryos). In Pka-R2Cos-A1, en1 double mutants the duplications characteristic of Pka-R2Cos-A1 only occur in the original anterior compartment, and not in the transformed posterior compartment, indicating that the Pka-R2Cos-A1 duplications develop as a position response.

Separable from: In(2L)Epa. In(2L)Epa was induced simultaneously with Pka-R2Cos-A1 but subsequently the two were separated by recombination.

Comments
Comments

Penetrance and expressivity are variable. The pattern duplications seen in flies heterozygous for neomorphic "Cos" alleles are indistinguishable from those seen in flies homozygous for leaky alleles of cos.
