Deletion of approximately 700bp, possibly caused by P-element insertion and subsequent imprecise excision.
The anterior localization of bcd mRNA is impaired in embryos transheterozygous for exuVL and any of the following: Df(2R)exu1, exuM68A.Y70A.T:Zzzz\StrepII,T:Avic\GFP-YFP.Venus, exuR92A.T:Zzzz\StrepII,T:Avic\GFP-YFP.Venus or exu333.T:Zzzz\StrepII,T:Avic\GFP-YFP.Venus. The bcd mRNA localization is not impaired when exuVL is placed in trans to any of these alleles: exuFL.T:Zzzz\StrepII,T:Avic\GFP-YFP.Venus, exuLDADS.T:Zzzz\StrepII,T:Avic\GFP-YFP.Venus, exuD39A.D41A.T:Zzzz\StrepII,T:Avic\GFP-YFP.Venus or exu410.T:Zzzz\StrepII,T:Avic\GFP-YFP.Venus.
osk mRNA localization is not impaired in exuVL/Df(2R)exu1 embryos.
hts RNA localization proceeds normally in embryos derived from exu mutant mothers.
exuVL/exu4 is a suppressor of visible | homeotic phenotype of miraΔ103.αTub67C.mGFP6
exuVL/exu4 is a suppressor of embryonic abdomen | ectopic phenotype of miraΔ103.αTub67C.mGFP6
exuVL/exu4 is a suppressor of embryonic thorax phenotype of miraΔ103.αTub67C.mGFP6
exuVL/exu4, miraΔ103.αTub67C.mGFP6 has embryonic head phenotype
Females that express miraΔ103.αTub67C.T:Avic\GFP-m6 in an exuVL/exu4 background produce embryos with an exu phenotype, in which the thorax and abdomen develop normally, but the head is absent.
