Polytene chromosomes normal.
29bp deletion around codon 72 causing a frameshift. 41 amino acids are added before a termination codon occurs at codon 113.
Deletion of sequences including coding sequence.
Approximate location of a 29bp deletion that begins in the codon for amino acid 72. The deletion causes a frameshift and early translation termination after the addition of 41 additional residues. The exact position of the deletion was not reported (FBrf0086432).
Heterozygotes occasionally (less than 1%) have gaps in wing vein L4.
Strong allele.
ciD expression is derepressed in the posterior compartments of embryos and imaginal discs.
en1/en59 transheterozygotes have a variable phenotype. About one quarter are nearly indistinguishable from wild-type, while the rest have interruptions of varying extent in the fourth vein. en2/en59 transheterozygotes survive to larvae or pharate adults in a few cases. The pharate adults have severe abnormalities in distal segments of all legs and extreme posterior abnormalities in the wing.
Homozygous en59 cells in mosaic animals made by nuclear transplantation do not develop normally in posterior parts of the epidermis and some regions of the CNS, but form normal patterns in mesodermal and endodermal organs.
Posterior homozygous clones in the proboscis are often associated with abnormal bristle patterns. Clones in the posterior part of the wing are abnormal: the wing is enlarged and the posterior margin has large socketed bristles and a well-developed triple row in the clone. Posterior clones do not respect the anteroposterior compartment boundary in the wing. Posterior clones in the leg are often grossly enlarged with a huge increase in the number of bristles. In the male, clones in the genitalia are often associated with missing parts of the claspers, lateral plate and hypandrium, and clones in the analia form unusually shaped anal plates and are often associated with missing genital parts.
en59 has wing vein L4 phenotype, enhanceable by cg[+]/cg07659
cgY4, en[+]/en59 has wing vein L4 phenotype
cgY4, en59 has wing vein L4 phenotype
Complements: tou1.
Strong en allele.
en mutants can be ranked by strength regarding their ability to induce a ci phenotype: en1 <= Df(2R)en30 <= en4 <= enEnci <= Df(2R)en-SFX31 <= en59.
