Insertion of a P{lacW} element upstream of the putative transcription start site.
Insertion of P{w+,lacZ} 250bp 5' of the longest syt cDNA analysed.
Germ-line clones of this mutant often produce miniature eggs with greatly reduced surface volumes.
No obvious morphological defects.
Transheterozygote combinations with other syt alleles are lethal.
Syt1T77, btszK13-4 has tracheal lumen | embryonic stage phenotype
Syt1T77, btszK13-4 has larval tracheal system | embryonic stage phenotype
Syt1T77, stac3B20 has tracheal lumen | embryonic stage phenotype
Syt1T77, stac3B20 has larval tracheal system | embryonic stage phenotype
This allele isolated by local hopping of P element in P{w+,lacZ}B8 (at most 10kb from 3' end of syt transcript) into syt, and detected with PCR. Precise excision of element in sytT77 reverts lethality. A few adults survive in transheterozygous combinations between sytT11, sytT77 and syt66.4.
Mutant phenotype can be rescued, when homozygous or in trans to sytN6, by sytelav.PD.
