Polytene chromosomes normal.
Amino acid replacement: L213Q.
Coordinates of the lesion are the position in the 2-μ-4a spliced form of pb.
Nucleotide substitution: T638A.
Nucleotide substitution: C1095T.
The nucleotide substitution T638A results in the amino acid replacement L213Q. The mutant allele also contains the silent nucleotide polymorphism C1095T.

pb1/pb20 flies raised at 23 or 29[o]C have a null mutant phenotype; the maxillary palps are vestigial, the proboscis is transformed into a pair of tarsi and the pseudotracheae are missing. pb1/pb20 flies raised at 18[o]C have a hypomorphic phenotype; the maxillary palps are vestigial, the proboscis is transformed into a pair of aristae, and the number of pseudotracheal rows is reduced to one or two.
Shows a labial palp to antenna transformation at 18o and labial palp to leg transformation at 29oC. pb1/pb5 at 24oC show distal labia transformed to a mixture of antenna and distal prothoracic legs. Of these 46% include claws and some display defined tarsal segments. These are never seen in any ct; pb/+ combinations. Maxillary palps of pb1/pb5 are reduced in shape and ovoid, suggesting antennal transformation. This phenotype is not seen in ct; pb/+ combinations.
The temperature sensitive period is between 65 and 100 hours after egg laying at 25oC, which corresponds to late second/early third instar larval stage and when Scr activity is required for tarsus determination.
The labial palp is transformed to antenna or prothoracic leg, depending on the temperature.
The labial palps are transformed partially to antennal arista (containing 3 sensilla) and some spatially separated leg structures at 17oC, and into tarsal structures only (with mechanosensory bristles) at 29oC. The tarsal transformation is more complete in combination with ssa. Two additional nerves branch off the labial nerve in the transformed arista, and sensory fibres are located abnormally.
Transformation of labial palpus to prothoracic leg or antenna identity.
18oC --> antenna 29oC --> leg Oral lobes changed to tarsus-like or arista-like appendages. Cold (15oC) shifts expression toward aristalike, heat (29o) toward tarsuslike (Villee, 1944). Temperature-sensitive period in last larval instar (Vogt, 1946, Z. Naturforsch. 1: 469-75). Very short lived because adults cannot feed. male fertile female sterile. Ovaries normal but few, if any, eggs formed (Beatty, 1949). RK2.
pb1/pb[+] is a suppressor | partially of lethal | pharate adult stage phenotype of Hsap\HTTQ138.UAS.mRFP1, Scer\GAL4elav-C155
One copy of pb1 partially rescues the lethality seen when Hsap\HTTQ138.Scer\UAS.T:Disc\RFP-mRFP is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 using the P{UAS-HTT.Q138.mRFP}A insertion line.
