    Description

    FlyBase curator comment: this entry is used to capture phenotypic information when the particular allele (or allele combination) used by the author could not be determined but the context of the experiment suggests that the phenotype being described is some kind of loss of function.

        knkunspecified mutants exhibit septate junctions that are indistinguishable from wild-type. knkunspecified mutant epithelia exhibit normal apical basal polarity.

        (Moussian et al., 2006)

        Homozygous clones in the wing have wing hairs that lack pigmentation and are thinner and flimsier than normal.

        (Ren et al., 2005)

        knkunspecified mutant embryos have a defective head skeleton and narrowed denticle bands. Embryos are rarely inverted in the egg case.

        Comments

        Expression of knkScer\UAS.cMa, under the control of Scer\GAL4αTub84B.PK rescues knkunspecified lethality and the tracheal and cuticle knkunspecified defects.
