Description

Amino acid replacement: T428I.

In addition, to the T428I amino acid replacement, there is also a deletion of an A nucleotide in the first position of the C-terminal arginine codon of exon 11, resulting in a frameshift with the substitution of the Arg residue by Asp, and an addition of 23 amino acid residues. The intron between exons 6 and 7 also contains a 7bp tandem repeat (that is also present in Sbsbd-2).

Nucleotide substitution: C?T.

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Homozygotes have malformed legs and have bristles that are approximately 1/4 wild-type length and have blunt ends.

Homozygotes and SbSpi/Df(3R)sbd105 animals have a malformed leg phenotype and abnormal bristles.

Sb1, T(2;3)SbV, and SbSpi are much less severe in phenotype, both in bristle length and frequency and severity of malformation of appendages, than Sb63b and Sb70.

Bristles are short and thick. zip interacts to some degree with all Sb dominant mutations.

Bristles of SbSpi/+ about two-thirds normal length. Wings and legs normal. Bristles of homozygote one-fourth normal length. Wings reduced, crumpled, or blistered. Legs often short and bowed. SbSpi/Sb1 viability about 30% wild type. Bristles and wings shorter than homozygous SbSpi. RK1. intermediate allele homozygous viable
