Wandering mutant larvae and pupae expressing krist51 in a Df(3)07084 mutant background are much smaller and thinner than controls. Mutant pupae rarely make it to the pharate adult stage and never eclose as adults.
krist51 partially rescues Df(3)07084
Expression of PBac{CH322-05D15.st51} (comprising the mutant krist51 and wild type mad2+tCH322-05H15 and S6k+tCH322-05H15 alleles) partially rescues the lethality seen in Df(3)07084 mutant flies. A large number of animals reach the wandering larval stage and form pupae but significant larval lethality is seen.
This transgene is used with Df(3)07084 (which affects expression of kri, mad2 and S6k) to produce a kri mutant.
