Description

Duplication at the Su(var)3-7 locus, with each copy of the gene separated by a y+2083 marker. The 5' copy contains stop codons at positions 830 and 2240. It is fused at its C-terminus in frame with 157 amino acids of the y protein (this structure is due to the cloning procedure used to make the donor construct). The 3' copy contains a stop codon at position 830.

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

The chromocenter has loose morphology in polytene chromosome squashes from Dp(3;3)Su(var)3-714/Dp(3;3)Su(var)3-79 third instar larvae.

Homozygous Dp(3;3)Su(var)3-79 mutant adults are viable and fertile. The adults flies display many abnormalities. The most frequent and striking phenotype is an abnormal abdominal cuticle, where the anterior and posterior margins of the tergites are irregularly edged out. Alos, many bristles are disorganised or missing. Other parts of the body also show abnormalities, though less frequently: thinner thoracic macrochaetae, missing humeral and sex comb bristles, spots of irregular ommatidia, and curled or ill developed wings.

When P{P-Sal}Pak3P-Sal is present, the w gene of the P{lacW}ciDplac insertion variegates, resulting (in a w[-] background) in an eye that is mostly white with a few patches of red ommatidia. This P-element-dependent silencing of P{lacW}ciDplac is dominantly suppressed by Su(var)3-79.

When P{P-Sal}89D is present, the w gene of the P{lacW}ciDplac insertion variegates, resulting (in a w- background) in an eye that is mostly white with a few patches of red ommatidia. This P-element-dependent silencing of P{lacW}ciDplac is dominantly suppressed by Dp(3;3)Su(var)3-79.
