The P{lacZ-un1} insertion site is 7 bp upstream of the pyd transcription start.
Molecular lesion maps to the transcription unit previously described as 'tamou'.
Insertion of a P-element.
embryonic dorsal branch & cell-cell adherens junction | somatic clone
No significant bristle or eye phenotypes are observed in pydC5 homozygotes.
pydC5 embryos display defects in tracheal development including dorsal branch fusion problems, ectopic terminal cells, a lack of fusion cells, and ganglionic branch outgrowth defects. The dorsal branch phenotype is not fully penetrant; 14% of embryos show wild-type tracheal systems, 22% show defects in 1 metamere, 25% show defects in 2-4 metameres and 39% show defects in >5 metameres. Fusion defects are occasionally observed in the lateral trunk, although the penetrance of this is lower than for the dorsal branch.
pydC5/Df(3R)p-XT103 transheterozygotes show the same tracheal phenotypes as pydC5 homozygotes.
pydC5 mutant clones which affect the terminal cells do not affect branch fusion to a significant extent, whereas pydC5 clones that affect the fusion cells are associated with branch fusion defects and rarely show a wild-type branch fusion pattern. Dorsal branches with pydC5 clones show large loops of intercellular adherens junctions, indicating that cell intercalation is not complete. These intercalation defects are not fully penetrant. In most cases, dorsal branches with a cell intercalation phenotype are still able to stretch and eventually reach the dorsal midline, and some can even undergo branch fusion.
pydC5/Df(3R)p819 embryos have a dorsal open phenotype.

Order of alleles based on increasing severity of phenotype when hemizygous: pyd1 < pydJ17 < pydJ4 = pydJ2 < pydG18 = pydG7 < pydJ14 = pydC5. The extra bristle phenotype and lethality of pydC5 revert simultaneously in the presence of a source of P-element transposase, suggesting that both phenotypes are due to insertion of the P-element. However, a lethal mutation that fails to complement the lethality of pydC5, but complements the bristle phenotype of pydJ14 has been isolated, suggesting that the P-element insertion in pydC5 may affect both pyd and an independent locus.
