3530bp genomic fragment containing sequences from -2503bp to +927bp (relative to the translation initiation site).
Position of restriction fragment on reference sequence inferred by FlyBase curator.
Varying the dosage of Pdf significantly affects geotaxic behaviour. Order of geotaxis scores (genetic background for all Pdf alleles = Canton-S): Hi5 strain >> Pdf01/Pdf01; Pdf+t3.530 (males > females) > Pdf01/Pdf01; Pdf+t3.530/Pdf+t3.530 (males > females) > Pdf01/+ = Canton-S > Pdf+t3.530 => Pdf+t3.530/Pdf+t3.530 >> Lo strain.
Pdf+t3.530 partially rescues Pdf01
Pdf+t3.530 partially rescues Pdf01
Pdf+t3.530 partially rescues the sex pheromone expression profile of Pdf01 males: (z)-5-Tricosene and (z)-7-Pentacosene are rescued to near wild-type levels, but (z)-7-Tricosene expression and the subjective day/night differences are not rescued (measured on the sixth day of constant darkness).
Partially rescues the locomotor activity defects of Pdf01 flies.
