Point mutation in the kibra start codon (ATG to ATA). The P{EPgy2}EY03746 insertion present in the progenitor is still present.

M1I
Generated through reversion mutagenesis of the line carrying P{EPgy2}kibraEY03746.
exe1, kibra1/kibra3 has lethal | somatic clone | pupal stage phenotype
exe1, kibra1/kibra3 has head | somatic clone | pupal stage phenotype
Pupae with mosaic heads that are largely doubly mutant for exe1/exe1 and kibra1/kibra3 (clones induced using the eyFLP method without cell lethal) do not eclose and normal head structures are displaced by overgrown tissue.
Eyes doubly homozygous for Mer4 and kibra3 (generated using the eyFLP method) show stronger overgrowth than eyes singly homozygous for Mer4.
kibra3 was selected as a mutation that reverts the kibraEY03746 phenotype.
