Subject: P-element in l(3)03022 is inserted in eIF-5C
According to release 2 annotations, the P-element in l(3)03022 is
inserted in the transcribed sequences of the eIF-5C gene. There is a
stock of this insertion mutant at Bloomington. The FlyBase report
for this gene does not list l(3)03022 as an allele and states that
there are no mutant alleles at the stock center. I am not aware of
any experimental evidence that this P-element has been shown to be
responsible for the lethal mutation.
