Imprecise excision of the P{SUPor-P} element in P{SUPor-P}Hmg-2KG05183 has resulted in a deletion. In the spliced form of Xbp1, the last 278 codons (at the 3' region of the coding sequence) are deleted and 4 new codons (GITL) are present before the introduction of a nonsense stop codon. In the unspliced form, the last 87 codons are deleted and 5 new codons (ELPCS) are followed by a nonsense stop codon.
1696 bp deletion resulting from the imprecise excision of P{SUPor-P}Hmg-2KG05183 removes sequences from 2R:17 ,032,105-17,033,800 in release 5 coordinates.
Homozygous Xbp1Exc1 mutant larvae exposed to the ER stress-inducing drug tunicamycin arrest development at the first instar larval stage and die two to three days after egg laying.
