Imprecise excision of the P{SUPor-P}CG14879KG03250 insertion, resulting in a deletion that removes 15bp of the Manf 5'UTR.
Aprroximate endpoints of deletion resulting from the imprecise excision of P{SUPor-P}CG14879KG03250, described as removing the first 15 nucleotides of the Manf transcript. The transcription start from R5.12 was used for the mapping.
ManfΔ112/+ heterozygous adult flies show decreased eye tissue regeneration capacity upon UV radiation induced damage (inflicted during pupal stage) compared to wild-type.
Homozygotes die as later first instar larvae or immediately after the delayed first moult with defects in behaviour; the larvae atypically wander away from the food, then move more slowly and finally freeze, immobilised but still responding to touch.
Manf[+]/ManfΔ112 is rescued by Scer\GAL4Hml.Δ/ManfUAS.cPa
The increased severity of eye degeneration after exposure of one eye to UV irradiation during pupal stage characteristic for ManfΔ112/+ adults can be rescued by expression of ManfScer\UAS.cPa under the control of Scer\GAL4Hml.Δ.
