sina1 mosaic eye clones exhibit fewer R1 cells and an increase in R1 photoreceptor cells.
Photoreceptor cell R7 of eye transformed into a cone cell, resulting in the absence of R7 in adult ommatidia. In amorphic alleles, 40% of ommatidia also missing an additional photoreceptor cell and 10% of ommatidia also missing two photoreceptor cells. Eyes weakly rough; ocelli appear normal. Adult bristles sometimes missing and sometimes duplicated, arising from a common socket; occasionally three bristles arise from a common socket. Wings sometimes held outstretched. Adults eclose normally but fail to survive after 24 h; display lethargic behavior and are not fertile, though mature sperm and ova are produced.
Weak allele. 10% of the sina1 ommatidia have an R7 cell present.
sina1/sina[+] is a suppressor of decreased occurrence of cell division phenotype of CycEJP
sina1/sina3, svp2.sev has photoreceptor cell R7 phenotype
sina1/sina3, svp1.sev has photoreceptor cell R7 phenotype
Suppresses the S phase defects seen in the CycEJP eye disc.
Residual Ecol\CAT activity of 6.9% is seen in sina1 mutant flies transformed with Ecol\CATRh4.PF, consistent with the finding that 10% of the sina1 ommatidia have an R7 cell present.
No interaction with P{sev-svp1} or P{sev-svp2} exists.
