Description

The FRT cassette containing y[+] has been excised, allowing expression of the activated N receptor under the control of the Act5C promoter.

FRT cassette has been excised, juxtaposing Act5C promoter with N coding sequences.

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Expression of Nint.Act5C in the female germline results in germaria with extra cap cells and additional germ-line stem cells.

Homozygous clones resemble N null clones and show a failure of sensilla development.

Generates long stalk-like structures in the ovaries, stalks are thicker than wild type stalks. The severity of the stalk phenotype correlates with the length of the precursor cell stage, culminating in a complete block at the precursor stage.

In embryos and in imaginal discs, neuroblast segregations are suppressed and all ectodermal cells give rise to epidermis.

Exists in clones, not reported as being germ-line transmitted. The product of this allele becomes nuclear-localized. Behaves as a gain of function mutation, even in the absence of endogenous N activity, and has its effect when cell fate decisions are being made.
