977bp deletion within Schip1, removing 265 amino acid residues (227 to 491). (Revision of data reported in FBrf0231239).
A 977 bp deletion (including 794 bp of coding sequence) resulting from the imprecise excision of P{GSV6}Schip1GS12074, which removes amino acids 227 to 491.
Schip149/Schip149 or Schip149/Df(2L)Exel7046 mutants are lethal during embryogenesis or an early larval stage. Schip149/Schip149 mutant clones in the eye result in enlarged eyes with irregular bulging at the surface; in mid-pupal eyes, mutant clones show an increase in the number of interommatidial cells. Schip149/Schip149 mutant clones are much larger than control clones (mutant cells have strong growth advantages). Schip149/Schip149 eye disc clones show mitotic activity posterior to the second mitotic wave, with mutant cells failing to exit the cell cycle and continuing to proliferate.
