trxB11 is associated with an 833bp deletion. It could encode truncated proteins consisting of 8.6% and 17.7% of the N terminus of TRXI and TRXII respectively.
Deletion that truncates the 3726 residue protein after residue 658.
Frameshift deletion in the amino terminal portion that terminates the open reading frame after 17.5% of its length.
Small frame-shifting deletion in the common exon 3.
800bp deletion within the coding region.
Deletion of DNA, leading to a frameshift that terminates the open reading frame after the first 658 residues.
Reported as a deletion of 833 nucleotides (2817-3649 in GB:M31617) leading to a frameshift and early translation termination. In the reference sequence, the span between the deletion endpoints is 967 bases.
Double heterozygous stuxnetd77;trxB11 females display tergite boundary defects that are not observed in stuxnetd77 heterozygote females. stuxnetd77/Y;trxB11/+ males are lethal.
Double heterozygous stuxnet2;trxB11 females display tergite boundary defects that are not observed in stuxnet2 single heterozygote females.
27.9% of heterozygous males show anterior transformation of segment A6 to A5.
Homozygous embryos show defects in cuticle patterning: 33% lack all the denticle belts and 3% show transformation of one segment to another (although denticle belts are present).
The brains of trxJY16/trxB11 and trxE3/trxB11 larvae show a severe reduction in BrdU incorporation compared to wild type. Brain squashes are characterised by global chromatin decondensation, resembling 'prophase-like' chromatin.
Heterozygotes show mild anterior transformations of the fifth, sixth, and seventh abdominal segments.
4.5% of heterozygous adults show at least one transformation phenotype.
Abdominal segment of heterozygous males is transformed anteriorly. Haltere is normal.
Heterozygotes do not have an apical bristle on the T3 legs.
Individuals die before or upon hatching.
Abnormal midgut morphology: only the second midgut constriction appears in its normal position. The first and third constrictions appear posterior to their wild-type positions.
Reduction in size of all ventral setal belts, third thoracic ventral setal belt has the appearance of the second thoracic ventral setal belt and the posterior abdominal ventral setal belts show transformation to an identity like that of a normal second thoracic ventral setal belt.

ash117 trxB11 double heterozygotes show transformations of third leg into second leg; an apical bristle appears on the third leg in 66% of cases. The frequency of the appearance of an apical bristle on the third leg decreases to 37% in ash117 trxB11 His2Av05146 triple heterozygotes and to 29% in ash117 trxB11 His2Av810 triple heterozygotes.
Pp1-87B87Bg-6 dominantly suppresses the transformation of wing to haltere seen in trx1/trxB11 flies; 28% show strong transformation, 29% show weak transformation and 43% show no transformation.
Pp1-87B1 dominantly suppresses the transformation of wing to haltere seen in trx1/trxB11 flies; 27% show strong transformation, 24% show weak transformation and 49% show no transformation.
Expression of Pp1-87BScer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4arm.PS has no effect on the transformation of wing to haltere seen in trx1/trxB11 flies.
trxB11 Hsc70-4I-R35-R7 double heterozygotes show a reduction in the number of sex comb teeth.
Double heterozygotes with Df(2L)Mdh, Df(2R)or-BR6, Df(3L)Ar14-8, Df(2L)cl-h3, Df(2R)Pu-D17, Df(3L)vin6, lidk06801, E(Pc)1, Psc1, SceD1, TrlR85, Su(z)71, Su(z)61, sxc1, Su(z)41, AsxXF23, Asx3 or Asx13 show T3 to T2 transformations. 52.1% of trxB11 ash117 double heterozygotes show T3 to T2 transformations. The penetrance of this phenotype is enhanced by one copy of lidk06801, E(Pc)1, Su(z)21, Psc1, AsxXF23, Asx3, mxcG48, sxc1, SceD1, E(z)5, TrlR85, Su(z)41, Su(z)71, Su(z)61, ScmD1 or ScmM56 and suppressed by one copy of Pc3, ph-d503, Pcl7, phob, mxcM1, mxc1, esc5, esc9, esc10, esc21, sxc4, sxc5, PscArp1 or ScmSuz302.
The frequency of homeotic transformations in heterozygotes is not enhanced by lawcp1, lawcEF520, lawc+10 or Df(1)RA2. The frequency and severity of homeotic transformations (such as haltere to wing or third leg to second leg transformations) in trxB11 ash117 double heterozygotes is dominantly enhanced by lawcp1. The enhancement is stronger in a lawcp1 maternal background. The arista to leg transformation characteristic of lawcp1 is also enhanced in these flies. The frequency of homeotic transformations in trxB11 ash117 double heterozygotes is dominantly enhanced by lawcEF520 or Df(1)RA2. lawcp1/lawcEF520 females are viable. However, in combination with trxB11, lawcp1/lawcEF520 results in lethality. lawcp1/Df(1)RA2 females are viable. However, in combination with trxB11, lawcp1/Df(1)RA2 results in lethality.
trxB11 shows a transformation of haltere to wing in double heterozygous combination with either mod(mdg4)T6, mod(mdg4)ul or mod(mdg4)T16. 14.1% of trxB11 ash117 double heterozygous adults show a homeotic phenotype. This is increased to 77.7% if the flies are also heterozygous for mod(mdg4)T16, 50.4% if the flies are also heterozygous for mod(mdg4)ul and 32.6% if the flies are also heterozygous for mod(mdg4)T6. Dominantly enhances the effect of mod(mdg4)ul on the y2 phenotype. The combination ash117 trxB11 dominantly enhances the effect of mod(mdg4)ul on the y2 phenotype.
Expression of Hsap\MLLScer\UAS.C.T:Zzzz\FLAG under the control of Scer\GAL4mat.αTub67C.T:Hsim\VP16 partially rescues the cuticle pattern defects seen in trxB11 homozygous embryos: 9% of embryos have a wild-type cuticle pattern.
Expression of Hsap\MLL::Hsap\AFF1Scer\UAS.cMa under the control of Scer\GAL4mat.αTub67C.T:Hsim\VP16 fails to rescue the cuticle pattern defects seen in trxB11 homozygous embryos.
Mutant phenotype can be rescued by a cosPneo element carrying the entire 25kb trx transcription unit.
