Imprecise excision of the P{EP}sar1EP3575 insertion, resulting in a deletion of 2114bp. The deletion affects four exons of sar1, including the first coding exon shared by all transcripts.
The left breakpoint of the deletion (twenty first deleted nucleotides) is TTATGATTAA AAAAAACTGA, the right breakpoint of the deletion (twenty last deleted nucleotide) is ACCCATACAG CCAGTGCGTC (sequence is given in the same orientation as the coding strand of the gene).
Deletion associated with the imprecise excision of the P{EP}Sar1EP3575 insertion.
Mutant larvae have a thin and pale cuticle, though the three histologically distinct layers of the cuticle are established normally. Apical undulae and taenidial folds are normal. However, the ER of epidermal cells is abnormally bloated and spherical.
