Description

The aberration breakpoint is -5.5 to -6.5 kb 3' of the D transcription unit (where 0 indicates the translation start site).

Break in D maps to -5.5 to -6.5 where 0 is the translational start of D.

Breakpoint maps 3' to the D transcription unit.

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

The nervous system in homozygous embryos appears wild-type apart from defects in the tritocerebrum anlage and subtle defects in the deutocerebrum. The hindgut in these embryos appears normal until stage 13, later the hindgut becomes shorter and its lumen wider compared to wild-type.

Lethal when heterozygous with Dr72 or Dr513. The wing phenotype of the dominant alleles is due to ectopic expression of D in the anlage of the hinge in the wing imaginal disc, as can be reproduced using a DScer\UAS.cSa driven by Scer\GAL430A or Scer\GAL4zfh2-MS209.

No dominant phenotype. Lethal in combination with point alleles of D and small deletions which only remove D sequences.

Dr8/Df(3L)D-5rv6 embryos exhibit intermediate segmentation defects showing segment fusions often in A4 and A5. Shows no dominant mutant phenotype.

Lethal when heterozygous with Df(3L)fz-D21, Df(3L)fz-GS1a and Df(3L)D-1rv16 but viable when heterozygous with Df(3L)fz-M21, btlunspecified and l(3)70Daunspecified.

Shows tissue-specific loss of D expression thus is a regulatory mutation.

Associated with a recessive lethal phenotype that maps to 70D1-2.
