Single base pair alteration (C to A) within fragment "E" of the kni putative upstream regulatory sequences.
G20707276T
C596A
Single base pair change in the putative regulatory region for wing vein L2 expression. Regulatory region with point muation when placed in reporter construct, fails to drive expression in wing vein L2. (Note that the reported base change is on the opposite strand and in relation to the EcoRI-XhoI fragment.)
Mutant adults lack portions of the L2 wing vein.

Separable from: CG1325253j. The "kniri-53j" chromosome contains two lesions, one is a single base pair change in the kni vein L2 enhancer (resulting in the kniri-53j allele), one is a deletion of approximately 50bp within an intron of CG13252 (CG1325253j allele), further upstream of the kni transcription unit. The ubiquitous expression of CG13252 is not affected in mutants carrying the "kniri-53j" chromosome and a genomic fragment of the region where the 50bp deletion is located fused to a reporter gene does not result in reporter gene expression in the wing vein L2 primordium, so there is no evidence that the 50bp deletion has any relevance to the wing vein L2 loss phenotype of kniri-53j mutants.
