Imprecise excision of the P{lacW} insertion of Hrb87FY1217.
Deletion extending from the 5' noncoding region of Hrb87F to the 5' half of the B52 coding region (including the intergenic region between Hrb87F and B52). Some part of the P{lacW} element insertion present in Hrb87FY1217 remains.
lethal
lethal | second instar larval stage (with B52s2249)
lethal | third instar larval stage (with B52s2249)
lethal - all die before end of larval stage | recessive
some die during larval stage | recessive
Homozygotes die as first or second instar larvae. In addition, homozygotes have an extended second instar larval period of 3-5 days.
B5228 is partially rescued by B52+t10
B52+t10 rescues the lethality of homozygous B5228 flies. Homozygous B5228 flies carrying B52+t10 have low fertility.
βTub56D, Hsp83, Sxl, Ubx and Ddc pre-mRNAs are spliced in B5228 mutant larvae, indicating that B52 is not required for all splicing in vivo.
