24bp in frame deletion in the protease domain of tld.
Position of mutation on reference sequence inferred by FlyBase curator based on author statement. Mutation is a deletion of 24bp (in frame) in the protease domain, which stretches from residue 137-340.
Weak ventralization. Dominantly enhances dpp phenotype.
tld alleles form an allelic series with respect to embryonic cuticle phenotype. Going from mildest phenotype to strongest: tldE4 = tldE6 = tldE8 < tldE5 = tldE10 = tldE14 = tld15 < tldE7 = tldE9 = tldE11.
