Imprecise excision of P{lacW}Kap-α3S033513 has deleted 857bp from the 5' region of Kap-α3 including the first 20 codons of the Kap-α3 ORF.
fertile | female (with Kap-α3D165)
lethal (with Kap-α3D165)
Mutant clones in the thorax result in multiple socket phenotypes.
Homozygous embryos produce wild-type cuticles.
Eggs cannot be recovered from females in which homozygous germ-line clones have been induced and which have been mated with either wild-type or heterozygous males.
Eyes homozygous for Kap-α3D93 (somatic clones induced in the eye with Scer\FLP1Scer\UAS.cDa; Scer\GAL4ey.PH; twinspot and heterozygous cells killed by WGMR.PG) are highly defective. Externally these eyes appear glassy, but ommatidial-like structures are visible although they are disorganized and not fully developed. Inter-ommatidial bristles are often missing. Sectioning reveals that photoreceptor cell rhabdomeres missing and the ommatidia were severely misshapen.

Kap-α3D93, NICN.UAS, Scer\GAL4Tub.PU has larval brain | somatic clone | third instar larval stage phenotype
The wing margin notching phenotype observed in some N1 heterozygous females and in Nnd-3 hemizygous males, the wing vein deltas and thickening observed in Dl5F heterozygotes as well as the large nicks in the anterior wing margin seen in SerBd-3 heterozygous flies are each exacerbated by combination with single copy of the Kap-α3D93 allele.
The shortened longitudinal L5 phenotype characteristic for NAx-16 heterozygous females is suppressed by combination with a single copy of the Kap-α3D93 allele.
The wing vein deltas and extra vein material observed in dx152 hemizygous adult males is exacerbated by combination with with a single copy of the Kap-α3D93 allele. No wing defects are observed in adult females double heterozygote for dx152 and Kap-α3D93.
The nuclear translocation of Notch-ICD (intracellular part of the N receptor) in somatic MARCM clones expressing NICN.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4tub.PU in third instar larval brain is blocked when the clones are also homozygous mutant for Kap-α3D93.
Removing neighboring R7 photoreceptor cells through a sevV1 background greatly increases the tendency of Kap-α3D93 mutant R7s to invade adjacent targets. Approximately 84.3% of isolated Kap-α3D93 R7 terminals extend laterally into neighboring columns (as compared to 23% for Kap-α3D93 mutants in a wild-type background), with 22% of these lateral extensions spanning several columns.
Kap-α1Scer\UAS.P\T.cMa or Pen-UTR.Scer\UAS.P\T driven by Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI or Scer\GAL4αTub84B.PL can weakly suppress the first instar larval lethality of Kap-α3D93 homozygotes or Kap-α3D93/Kap-α317-7 animals. Many larvae survive to second or early third instar, and occasionally animals survive to pupation (or even pharate adult stage in the case of the heterozygotes rescued with Pen-UTR.Scer\UAS.P\T). Kap-α1Scer\UAS.P\T.cMa; Scer\GAL4ey.PH weakly suppresses the eye phenotype due to Kap-α3D93 somatic clones: Externally, individual ommatidia appear more distinct than in non-rescued animals. Sectioning reveals that rhabdomere formation is not rescued, and ommatidia remain disorganized. Pen-UTR.Scer\UAS.P\T; Scer\GAL4ey.PH fails to suppress the eye phenotypes due to Kap-α3D93 somatic clones.
Kap-α3D93/+ does not suppress lethality in flies with Hsap\CACNA1AScer\UAS.αACT.Q70 driven by Scer\GAL4sqh.PW. Co-expression of Kap-α3D93/+ suppresses the progressive retinal degeneration seen in fly eyes with Hsap\CACNA1AScer\UAS.αACT.Q70 driven by Scer\GAL4GMR.PU.

Kap-α3-UTR.Scer\UAS.P\T; Scer\GAL4αTub84B.PL weakly rescues the larval lethality of Kap-α3D93/Kap-α3D93, Kap-α3D93/Kap-α3D165 (around 40% still die as larvae, but about 50% die as pupae and about 10% as pharate adults) and Kap-α3D93/Df(3R)GB104 (about 30% survive to pupate before dying). Kap-α3-UTR.Scer\UAS.P\T; Scer\GAL4αTub84B.PL rescues Kap-α3D93/Kap-α317-7 and Kap-α3D93/Kap-α3w73 to fully viable, fertile adults. Kap-α3-UTR.Scer\UAS.P\T; Scer\GAL4ey.PH partially rescues the eye phenotypes due to Kap-α3D93 somatic clones: Externally, individual ommatidia are much more distinct than without rescue, but most interommatidial bristles are missing. Sectioning reveals ommatidia to be somewhat disorganised and misshapen, with incorrect numbers of photoreceptors per ommatidium. Unlike in the non-rescued animals, rhabdomeres are present.
