Y187C | TwdlL-PA; Y181C | TwdlL-PB
Y181C
Site of nucleotide substitution in mutant inferred by FlyBase curator based on reported amino acid change.
TwdlL93 homozygous larvae start to exhibit abnormal body size (shorter and wider compared to controls) at the first instar larval stage. TwdlL93 homozygous larvae also exhibit electron-dense aggregates immersed within the procuticle; epidermal cells which are shorter along the anterior posterior axis and longer along the dorsoventral axis of the animal; and the inner cuticular surface of larvae that form convexities but are comparably flat with random orientation.
TwdlL93 is rescued by TwdlLKK113269/Scer\GAL4e22c
Tb93 maps to the same chromosomal region as Tb, so allelism is assumed.
