Imprecise excision of P{EPgy2}Ubi-p63EEY07341, resulting in a 2.2kb deletion removing the transcription start site of all four annotated mRNAs plus most of the 5'UTR, stopping at 34bp before the ATG. The promoter and first 583bp of coding sequence of the neighbouring Sc2 gene are also removed.
A deletion associated with the imprecise excision of P{EPgy2}Ubi-p63EEY07341, which removes the promoter region and transcription start sites of Ubi-p63E, stopping 34 bp before the ATG. It also removes the first 583 bp of coding sequence of adjacent gene Sc2.

In the presence of Sc2+tLa, to rescue the lethality caused by the lesion in Sc, Ubi-p63E12c flies are completely viable but male sterile and display a meiotic arrest phenotype.
Ubi-p63E12c/Ubi-p63E23b flies and Ubi-p63E12c flies carrying the rescuing Sc2+tLa allele are fully viable, develop at a normal pace to adulthood and females are robustly fertile.
Ubi-p63E12c male germ cell clones (in the presence of Sc2+tLa) are not observed at the spermatid stage. Instead, they accumulate as clonal cysts with chromatin condensation defects and fail to reach metaphase or breakdown their nucleolus, eventually degenerating.
Ubi-p63E12c is rescued by Ubi-p63E+tLa
Ubi-p63E23b/Ubi-p63E12c is rescued by Ubi-p63E+tLa
Ubi-p63E+tLa completely rescues the meiotic arrest seen in Ubi-p63E12c/Ubi-p63E23b testes.
Ubi-p63E+tLa completely rescues the meiotic arrest and male sterility of Ubi-p63E12c.
Associated with: A lethal lesion in the neighbouring Sc2 gene.
