Site of nucleotide substitution in mutant inferred by FlyBase based on reported amino acid change.
Compared to wild type (pupate around day 5, eclose around day 10), Tcs31A2/Df(3L)ED220 exhibit an extended larval period prior to lethality (viability: 97% at day 8, 30% at day 16) and have melanotic masses ('black spots': 50% at day 8, 100% at day 16); larvae are slim.
Compared to control Tcs31A2/+ heterozygote larval hemolymph (made up of primarily plasmatocytes and more rare lamellocytes), Tcs31A2/Df(3L)ED220 hemolymph from second instar larvae shows overrepresentation of lamellocytes; compared to Tcs31A13/Df(3L)ED220, Tcs31A2/Df(3L)ED220 have similar hematopoietic phenotypes but they are weaker and/or slower to develop.
Df(3L)ED220/Tcs31A2 is rescued by Tcs3GFP(S65T)
Df(3L)ED220/Tcs31A2 is rescued by Tcs3+tLa
Tcs3T:Avic\GFP-S65T or Tcs3+tLa rescues Tcs31A2/Df(3L)ED220 to adult viability and no melanotic masses are seen in rescued animals.
