Amino acid replacement: V272A.
PsnV272A.PEPC.L flies exhibit decreased viability in prepupal, pupal, pharate adult and adult stages. In addition, those flies that do survive to adulthood exhibit severe neurogenic defects such as a roughened eye phenotype with supernumerary photoreceptor cells, wing notching, and abnormal thoracic bristle patterning (including duplicated dorsoscutellar macrochaeta).
Based on statistical analysis of the age of onset and the severity of the phenotype, the following Psn alleles can be ranked in the following order, from strongest to weakest: PsnL166P.PEPC.L = PsnL173W.PEPC.L = PsnP436Q.PEPC.L = PsnV272A.PEPC.L = PsnL235P.PEPC.L > PsnM146L.PEPC.L = PsnM139V.PEPC.L = PsnH163R.PEPC.L = PsnE280A.PEPC.L = PsnA246E.PEPC.L = PsnG206A.PEPC.L > PsnA79V.PEPC.L = PsnF175S.PEPC.L = PsnE318G.PEPC.L.
