Site of nucleotide substitution in mutant inferred by FlyBase based on reported amino acid change.
zip4 homozygous mutants show laterality defects in the proventriculus and anterior midgut. The laterality of the other parts of the embryonic gut, including the hindgut and the posterior part of the midgut is normal in these mutants. The proventriculus and the anterior midgut do not rotate (as in wild-type) in these mutants at stages 15 to 17.
zip4 heterozygotes appear wild-type.
zip3/zip4 embryos show laterality defects in the proventriculus and anterior midgut. The laterality of the other parts of the embryonic gut, including the hindgut and the posterior part of the midgut is normal in these mutants. The proventriculus and the anterior midgut do not rotate (as in wild-type) in these mutants at stages 15 to 17.
zip4/zip1 embryos show laterality defects in the proventriculus and anterior midgut. The laterality of the other parts of the embryonic gut, including the hindgut and the posterior part of the midgut is normal in these mutants. The proventriculus and the anterior midgut do not rotate (as in wild-type) in these mutants at stages 15 to 17.
zip4/zip2 embryos show laterality defects in the proventriculus and anterior midgut. The laterality of the other parts of the embryonic gut, including the hindgut and the posterior part of the midgut is normal in these mutants. The proventriculus and the anterior midgut do not rotate (as in wild-type) in these mutants at stages 15 to 17.
zip4/Df(2R)gsb embryos show laterality defects in the proventriculus and anterior midgut. The laterality of the other parts of the embryonic gut, including the hindgut and the posterior part of the midgut is normal in these mutants. The proventriculus and the anterior midgut do not rotate (as in wild-type) in these mutants at stages 15 to 17.
Approximately 20% of zip4 stage 17 embryos show left-right inversion in the looping of the esophagus.
zip4 mutants exhibit dorsal closure defects.
zip4 is rescued by zipUAS.mGFP6/Scer\GAL4wg.PM
Expression of zipScer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP driven by Scer\GAL4wg.PM suppresses the dorsal closure defects found in zip4 homozygotes although the no-rotation phenotype is not suppressed.
