Df(2L)Msp-300-5 removes the 5' section of the Msp-300 locus, including the calponin homology domains, between P{XP}d07933 and P{XP}d01768.
Msp-3005prime homozygotes are larval lethal. They do not display any obvious phenotype and move normally. Over time, the movements become slower and the larvae die before entering the second instar. There is no detectable difference in the arrangement or the movement of the body wall muscles of wild-type and mutant individuals when observing the larvae in polarised light.
Msp-3005prime germline clones lay normal eggs, with no observable defects in nuclear position or nuclear architecture in the egg chambers.
Female Msp-3005prime;klarmarb-BX12 double mutants lay normal eggs and exhibit wild-type egg chambers.
A Dp(2;1)B19 background rescues the lethality of Msp-3005prime mutants.
