P{PZ} insertion within a 50kb intron suggesting the mutant phenotype may be due to splicing of upstream sequences to sequences in the P{PZ} element leading to the termination of bun translation.
Homozygous somatic clones in the ovaries give rise to defective eggs that are small and infertile, with short dorsal appendages that are variably rounded with branched split ends.
This allele was listed in the BDGP database as a lethal or sterile line during the period 1994-1999, but was discarded from the gene disruption project prior to the summary publication (FBrf0111489). Reasons for excluding lines from the collection described in FBrf0111489 include presence of more than one P insertion on the mutant chromosome, separation of lethality (or sterility) from the location of the insertion, and loss of lethality (or sterility) from the stock.
