1242bp deletion within DCAF12 (breakpoints 3R:12016888 and 3R:12015646 , release 6 sequence). In addition, TGATGAAAG has been inserted between the deletion breakpoints.
Deletion that removes the first three exons of DCAF12. Generated by imprecise excision of P{EPgy2}DCAF12EY05707.
A deletion of 1242 bp resulting from the imprecise excision of P{EPgy2}DCAF12EY05707 extends from 3R:12016888 to 3R:12015646 . 9 bases of unidentified sequence (TGATGAAAG) are inserted at the site of the deletion.
DCAF12Δ1/DCAF12Δ1 clones in the eye outcompete heterozygous cells (over-growth, clone size larger than controls). DCAF12Δ1/DCAF12Δ1 mutant cells survive better than wild type cells and thus rescue growth in animals in which heterozygous or homozygous wild type cells are killed by expression of hid. DCAF12Δ1/DCAF12Δ1 eye discs in third instar larvae show similar patterns of mitotic cells to wild type. A small portion of DCAF12Δ1/DCAF12Δ1 mutant pupae survive to pharate adults and show lack of dorsal abdominal cuticle closure phenotypes, consistent with defects in the replacement of larval epidermal cells by histoblasts. Wild type larval salivary glands start to be degraded by apoptosis around 12 hours after puparium formation (APF) and by 16hr APF are completely histolyzed; this removal of larval salivary glands fails in DCAF12Δ1/DCAF12Δ1 mutants, with glands remaining intact until at least 48hr APF and lacking active caspase. Mutant brains and differentiating retina at 40-48hr APF show no gross differences compared to wild type. In wild type developing retina, apoptosis peaks at 32h APF; mutants have strong decreases in apoptosis at this time and excessive inter-ommatidial cells are present at 44hr APF, resulting in supernumerary bristles in the adult eye. Global activation of apoptosis during metamorphosis is lost in DCAF12Δ1/DCAF12Δ1 pupae, compared to heterozygotes.

scrib1/scrib1;DCAF12Δ1/DCAF12Δ1 double mutant clones show increased tissue overgrowth and scrib1/scrib1 mutant clones overexpressing DCAF12Scer\UAS.cHa show enhanced tissue integrity (compared to scrib1/scrib1 clones).
DCAF12Δ1/DCAF12Δ1 suppresses the apoptotic phenotype (of limited clonal growth) in picPL12c/picPL12c eye clones or wing clones.
DCAF12Δ1 is rescued by Scer\GAL4αTub84B.Switch.PK/DCAF12UAS.cHa
Expression of DCAF12Scer\UAS.cHa driven by Scer\GAL4αTub84B.Switch.PK rescues pupal lethality in DCAF12Δ1/DCAF12Δ1 mutants.
