Deletion in the third exon of 29bp from position 976 to 1004 downstream of the A in the predicted ATG. Induces a frameshift and introduces 20 new codons followed by a stop codon. The predicted truncated protein would be 308 amino acid residues long and would lack the four zinc fingers located in the C-terminal part.

sensillum campaniformium & wing | supernumerary
In pad1 mutants, the number of dorso-central macrochaetes is increased; the effect is greater in females (~13 ectopic bristles) than males (~9 ectopic bristles). The anterior scutellar, posterior post-alar and posterior supra-alar bristles are frequently duplicated in females. The presutural bristles are bigger than wild type and are the size of macrochaetes. Additional bristles are sometimes found laterally, and are usually shorter and thicker than wild type. The density of microchaetes is also increased. Transheterozygous pad1/Df(3R)sbd26 and pad1/Tp(3;1)P115 flies also display an ectopic bristle phenotype. pad1 heterozygotes display a wild-type bristle pattern. pad1 mutants often have four or five sensilla campaniformia on the third vein of the wing, instead of three. There are often three sensilla at the location of the twin sensilla of the anterior wing margin.

The scbald mutation suppresses the ectopic bristle phenotype of pad1 flies, while the following mutations do not suppress this phenotype: In(1)ac3, Df(1)91B, Df(1)115 and In(1)sc4. pad1 h1 double mutants raised at 25oC display ectopic bristles at positions on the notum where no ectopic bristles are found in either single mutant. These new positions include dorso-central bristles closer to the thoracic midline and additional bristles between the anterior and posterior scutellars. Ectopic bristles on the double mutant are mostly located in the posterior half of the notum, while ectopic bristles tend to be found in the anterior half in pad1 single mutants. Transheterozygous put10460 pad1 flies have ectopic dorso-central bristles, while neither single heterozygote shows this phenotype. tkv1 pad1 double mutants show an enhanced ectopic bristle phenotype compared to either single mutant; there are particularly more ectopic bristles present around the presutal suture.
