Amino acid replacement: S48R.
Disrupts a conserved nucleotide in the splice donor site just upstream of the second intron, predicted to result in a S48R missense mutation followed immediately by an in-frame stop codon.
Nucleotide substitution: G?A.
Amino acid replacement: ?49term.
G5385668A
G?A
Nucleotide substitution: GT changed to AG in the splice donor for the second intron. Results in a S48R missense mutation immediately followed by a stop codon (in the intron).
kkv483 mutant embryos exhibit 'blimp' (bloated) defects in cuticular preparations along with degenerated head skeleton. kkv404 terminal tracheal cell clones frequently display apical membrane discontinuities and mutant clones in the dorsal trunk form cysts ('divots') in the gas-filled lumen in heat-killed mosaic third instar larvae.
kkv483 mutants display a strong terminal cell gas-filling defect. Auto-cellular tubes also show this gas-filling defect. Dorsal trunk cells show mild lumen constriction.
kkv483 shows recessive antimorphic properties (or else carries a second-site modifier).
