Imprecise excision of the P{SUPor-P} from Lsd-2KG00149 has created this allele, nucleotides -34 to +654 (relative to the putative translation start codon) have been deleted.
Deletion of nucleotides -34 to +654 (relative to the putative Lsd-2 translation start codon). Generated by imprecise excision of the P{SUPor-P}Lsd-2KG00149 insertion.
Deletion resulting from the imprecise excision of P{SUPor-P}Lsd-2KG00149.
Immature adult Lsd-251 flies have less storage fat (measured as triacylglycerol content) than control flies.
Mutants are lean, containing significantly lower levels of triacylglycerols (34.5% of controls).
Lsd-11, Lsd-251 has lipid droplet phenotype
Lsd-11 Lsd-251 double mutant adults have strongly reduced body fat stores at hatching (in contrast to the normal levels seen in newly hatched single mutants). The double mutants recover to have levels of stored body fat which are similar to those seen in the lean Lsd-251 single mutants within the first 6 days after eclosion. The fat body cells contain large lipid droplets. During aging, the fat content of the double mutants is adjusted to a level between the level seen in each single mutant. Under a starvation/re-feeding scheme, the double mutant flies show attenuated lipid metabolism and re-accumulation compared to controls flies.
