Description

Insertion of a 5.1kb defective Tirant element (deleted from position 4316 to 7456 and contains only the last three of six 102bp repeats) within a 0.25kb EcoRI fragment approximately 1.6kb upstream of the transcription start site.

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

svde/Df(4)G flies have more severe bristle defects than svde homozygotes. Almost all homozygotes eclose, but the adults are uncoordinated and die within a few days of eclosion. Homozygotes show bristle defects over the entire body surface. The microchaetae and macrochaetae of the notum can have stunted or misshapen shafts, or may have empty sockets. Macrochaetae also occasionally show a double socket phenotype. The empty socket phenotype is often seen at the position of the anterior dorsocentral bristle, while the posterior dorsocentral bristle more often has a double socket phenotype.

svspa-20 strongly enhances the bristle phenotype of svde in transheterozygotes; in the eyes there is nearly complete loss of bristle shafts, and in other parts of the body, loss or reduction of the shafts of microchaetae and macrochaetae is more severe than in svde homozygotes.

More extreme than svn. Thorax denuded over large areas. Phenotype more severe than H2; bristleless sockets found on adult integumentary derivatives of all imaginal discs; nearly 100% penetrance on thorax. Shafts, where present, often bent, twisted, or forked; up to 97% of bristle organs on wing costa and distal leg segments fail to produce normal shafts. Bracts present when bristle normally formed; otherwise bracts missing (Tobler, Rothenbuhler and Nothiger, 1973). Both sexes sterile. RK2.

Statement
Reference

Adults in which Hhs.PB has been expressed during differentiation of the microchaetae show a double shaft phenotype in the microchaetae. This phenotype is suppressed if the flies are also homozygous for svde; large territories devoid of external bristle structures are seen.

The order of severity of the microchaete phenotype is: sv6 = sv7 = sv8 > svde > svn.
