3.3kb deletion generated by imprecise excision of P{EPgy2}CTCFEY15833. The entire CTCF gene and a small part of the 3'UTR of the neighbouring qm gene have been deleted. Much of the original inserted P{EPgy2} element is still present: the y+mDint2 marker is functional, while the 5' P-element end and 3' part of the w+mC marker have been deleted (rendering the w gene non-functional). 20 nucleotides of unknown origin are present at the junction between the deletion breakpoints.
Inferred boundaries of a 3.3 kb deletion associated with the imprecise excsion of P{EPgy2}CTCFEY15833. 20 novel nucleotides are inserted at the site of the excision. The deletion endpoint downstream of CTCF was reported as 3L:7346339 in R5 coordinates.

CTCFy+1/CTCFP35.2 males and females extracted from pupal cases show posterior-to-anterior homeotic transformations of abdominal segments A8-A6: in males genitalia is rotated 90-180[o] (100% penetrance), s6 (sternite of the sixth segment) has 6-10 (average 8) bristles; in females s7 has 11-14 (average 12) bristles, the shape of s7 is transformed toward s6 and bristles lose orientation, and t8 (tergite of the eighth segment) has rows of large bristles.
CTCFy+1/CTCFGE24185 are viable and show posterior-to-anterior homeotic transformations of abdominal segments A8-A6: in males genitalia is rotated 30-180[o] (70% penetrance), s6 has 4-9 (average 7) bristles, and t7 is well developed; in females s7 has 8-12 (average 10) bristles, the shape of s7 is transformed toward s6 and bristles lose orientation, and t8 has a row of large bristles.
CTCFy+1/CTCFEY15833 are viable and show posterior-to-anterior homeotic transformations of abdominal segments A8-A6: in males s6 has 0-6 (average 2.5) bristles, 15% have genitalia rotated by approximately 30[o], and t7 is well developed (100% penetrance); in females s7 has 9-14 (average 12) bristles, the shape of s7 is transformed toward s6 and bristles lose orientation (100%), and t8 has a row of small (100%) and several large (15%) bristles.
CTCFy+1 mutants are late pupal lethal, although some individuals survive to the pharate adult stage.
CTCFEY15833/CTCFy+1 has homeotic phenotype, enhanceable by mod(mdg4)m9/mod(mdg4)GS23019
CTCFy+1 mod(mdg4)neo129 / CTCFEY15833 mod(mdg4)m9 show early pupal lethality (stage P1-4).
CTCFy+1 mod(mdg4)GS23019 / CTCFEY15833 mod(mdg4)m9 show early pupal lethality (stage P1-4), with rare escapers that die at pharate adult stage and show strong homeotic transformations: in males genitalia is rotated by 180[o], s6 has 4-11 (average 9) bristles, display a small cuticle structure with 1-2 bristles interpreted as s7, t7 is well developed, and t8 is well separated from t9 and bears rows of large bristles; in females phenotypes are as in CTCFy+1/CTCFEY15833 but t8 always has rows of large bristles.
