C298Y
Mutation in a critical Cys residue within the first predicted C2H2 Zn-finger.
Severe cuticle phenotype with partial fusion, nearly complete and complete fusion of adjacent denticle belts.
strong allele
dppTgR46.1/dpp[+], opa8 has visible phenotype
dppTgR46.1/dpp[+], opa8 has eye phenotype
dppTgR46.1/dpp[+], opa8 has vibrissal bristle phenotype
dppTgR46.1/dpp[+], opa8 has maxillary palp phenotype
dppTgR46.1/dpp[+], opa8 has adult head | ventral phenotype
dppTgR46.1/dpp[+], opa8 has gena phenotype
In dppTgR46.1/+; opa8/+ flies the ventral head is disrupted, the eye is round rather than oval, the sensory vibrissae on the ventral side of the eye are bunched, the maxillary palps are missing, reduced or duplicated, and gena tissue appears to be missing.
prd RNA expression has been studied in opa8 embryos.
