Amino acid change:

W179term | gbb-PA; W179term | gbb-PB

Reported amino acid change:

W179term

Comment:

G to A nucleotide change at the second or third position of the wild type Trp codon leads to a nonsense mutation (exact site of mutation unspecified). The mutation was annotated at the second base of the codon.

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

gbbD4/gbbD8 larvae have a greatly reduced fat body and appear transparent. The gastric caecae are reduced in length in approximately 50% of larvae. The larvae grow more slowly than wild-type and are somewhat reduced in size. gbbD4/gbbD8 embryos fail to form the first midgut constriction, but the second and third constrictions form.

Genetic Interactions
Statement
Reference

gbbD8 dominantly enhances the tkv6 phenotype; tkv6 homozygotes have a normal notum and legs, but the presence of one copy of gbbD8 results in defects in the notum and legs. Double heterozygotes with Df(2L)tkv2, dpps5, shn1 or put135 may show imaginal disc development defects. No interaction with sax5, MadP1 or Med4 is seen in double heterozygous flies. tkv6 gbbD4/tkv6 gbbD8 embryos form only one midgut constriction. gbbD4/tkv6 gbbD8 embryos have head defects and an excessive ventral curvature. gbbD4/tkv6 gbbD8 embryos derived from homozygous tkv6 females have a dorsal open phenotype.
