Detailed Description

Suppressor of the Dlw1/Dlw+ ventral to dorsal wing transformation.

Recessive; lethal in homozygotes or with trx3 or trxD.

The recessive embryonic lethal trx2 fails to complement trx1, trx3, or trxD, either for the transformation phenotype or for lethality. Trans-heterozygotes of trx2 with another allele or with a deficiency for the locus show weak expression of the trx homeotic phenotype and about 40-50% pupal lethality. Since the lethal mutations are cell viable, trx2/trx3 clones have been induced by mitotic recombination in trx2/trx3; Dp(3;1)kar5l, trx+ flies. The clones produced showed transformations of the antenna, eye, head capsule and proboscis, bristle abnormalities in the legs, vein and bristle abnormalities in the wings and transformations of haltere to wing tissue and of genital to thoracic tissue; mutant clones in abdominal segments one to seven were not found.

SceD1/+ ; brm2 trx2/+ triple heterozygotes show transformations of third leg to second leg, having both apical and preapical bristles on the distal tibia of the third leg (which are characteristic of the wild-type second leg). The third leg may also have sternopleural bristles (characteristics of the wild-type second leg).
