FlyBase curator comment: this entry is used to capture phenotypic information when the particular allele (or allele combination) used by the author could not be determined but the context of the experiment suggests that the phenotype being described is some kind of loss of function.
Homozygous HipHopunspecified mutants animals die early in development as first instars.
HipHopunspecified has lethal | recessive | first instar larval stage phenotype, suppressible by ms(3)K81UAS.HipHop.EGFP
ms(3)K81HipHop.T:Avic\GFP produced in the soma is sufficient to rescue the lethality of HipHopunspecified, with many animals developing into adults. Up to 5% of the expected class survives as adults, with the rest dying as pharate adults or soon after eclosion.
Mitotic chromosomes from HipHopunspecified mutant neuroblasts rescued by ms(3)K81HipHop.T:Avic\GFP display an increased number of telomere fusions compared with wild-type controls.
HipHopunspecified is rescued by HipHopUAS.HH.mCherry
HipHopT:Disc\RFP-mCherry expressed in the soma rescues the lethality of HipHopunspecified.
