Please note that DptBKO was generated by Barajas-Azpeleta et al. (FBrf0240603). We simply isogenized the mutation into the iso DrosDel background.

Likewise, DptBA3 comes from genetic background line A3 of the DSPR collection of Stuart McDonald (University of Kansas) (https://wfitch.bio.uci.edu/~dspr/RILs/index.html), which is genome-sequenced. To clarify: we did not isogenize the DptBA3 mutation. We did clarify the effect on the DptB coding sequence of DptBA3, which causes a premature stop. I’ve provided fasta sequences below for the genomic region. DptBA3 causes a premature stop, and this is the principle loss-of-function mutation (fasta for DptBA3 below starts from 1st codon of CDS).

A note that Smith et al. (FBrf0257253) also commented on DptBA3 before us in fact, though they simply reported that the locus was aberrant. Specifically, they noted a 37 nucleotide deletion in this strain spanning the end of exon 1 and the intron, expected to cause a failure of splicing. However, when we sequenced the region, we realized co-occurring mutations simply caused a premature stop before even reaching the intron, so we described it as a premature stop.
