Nucleotide substitution: T?G in the 3' untranslated region 4bp after the predicted normal stop codon.
T5357217G
T?G
Reported as a T to G nucleotide change four bases after the stop codon.
Homozygotes die at or before the early third larval instar stage in a typical crowded culture. If the homozygotes are raised in low density conditions without competition from wild-type larvae, a few mutant animals survive to be pharate pupae and occasionally eclose as fully formed adults. The adults show an acutely uncoordinated walk, are unable to stand and die in a few hours. Mutant third instar larvae show slight to severe sluggishness and roll abnormally from side to side during crawling.
Klp64Dk33, arm1/arm[+] has segment polarity phenotype | embryonic stage 10 phenotype
Klp64Dk33, arm1/arm[+] has embryonic/larval cuticle | anterior | embryonic stage 10 phenotype
Approximately 20% of embryos double heterozygous for Klp64Dk33 and arm1 exhibit ectopic denticles in the space between normal denticle belts. The phenotype is more severe than is seen in Klp64Dk33 homozygotes. Klp64Dk33/+; arm1/+ embryos at stage 10 show segment polarity phenotypes in the posterior region. The anterior region shows loss of cuticle due to incomplete cellularization.
