This allele was listed in the BDGP database as a lethal or sterile line during the period 1994-1999, but was discarded from the gene disruption project prior to the summary publication (FBrf0111489). Reasons for excluding lines from the collection described in FBrf0111489 include presence of more than one P insertion on the mutant chromosome, separation of lethality (or sterility) from the location of the insertion, and loss of lethality (or sterility) from the stock. Further information is available from http://www.fruitfly.org/bfd/ and from Dr. Spradling (spradling@mail1.ciwemb.edu).
The P{lacW}SmD3k09540 insertion appears to affect only SmD3 function and not Oda function (despite being within an Oda intron), since the lethality of P{lacW}SmD3k09540 homozygotes is fully rescued by the P{SmD3.+t2.3} construct which contains the complete SmD3 gene. Complements: OdaEP2104.
Lethality not revertible with excision of the P{lacW} insert. P{lacW}SmD3k09512 and P{lacW}SmD3k09540 insertions might be members of the same cluster and not genuine alleles.
