shgE17B heterozygotes do not exhibit a visible phenotype nor a reduction in viability.
Mild embryonic tracheal phenotype.
Mutants show disorganization of epithelial tissues in the head, ventral epidermis, Malpighian tubules and tracheal ducts. Malpighian tubule tip cells are present and differentiate into neurons, as in wild type. Tracheal tip cells are also present.
shgE17B p130CAS1 double heterozygotes do not exhibit a visible phenotype nor a reduction in viability.
shgE17B; p130CAS1 double homozygotes arrest in late embryogenesis (and thereby do not hatch). Athough most of the embryos form at least partial cuticles, absence of p130CAS1 significantly enhances shgE17B single mutant cuticle defects, with shgE17B; p130CAS1 mutant embryos showing severe defects that essentially eliminate head and ventral cuticle, while incomplete dorsal closure is reflected by the presence of holes in the dorsal cuticle.
Df(2R)E2/shgE17B is rescued by shgUbi-p63E.sgGFP
