This deletion removes a single ribosomal protein-coding gene (though other genes are also removed).
The z1 In(1)wis eye colour phenotype is enhanced by Df(2R)M41A4.
Lethal in combination with Df(2R)M41A10.
Flies heterozygous for the deletion show a Minute bristle phenotype.
Does not cause unconditional lethality in hybrid females when heterozygous with D.simulans chromosome.
Weak second site non-complementing phenotype with zipEbr and zipmhc-c6.1 : malformed phenotype penetrance 10-24%.
Shows no maternal enhancement of dpphr4.
Midgut development of mutant embryos is wild type.
Homozygous embryos are very abnormal compared to wild-type. Formation of the gut is variable.
Heterozygosity for this deletion has no effect on the mutant ovarian phenotype of ovoD2.
Heterozygotes show a Minute phenotype. Homozygous lethal.
homozygous lethal Medium Minute bristles. Large pale body with heavy, malformed, bloated abdomen. Female fertility low.
The Df(2R)M41A4 chromosome acts as a dominant weak suppressor of telomeric silencing (assayed using the effect of the chromosome on the eye colour phenotype of flies carrying "P{wvar}KR3-2", a stable "brown-red" variant of the P{3'WP-2,wvar}2Lt insertion), but this is assumed to be a false positive result (the suppressor may not be within the bounds of the deficient region) because the 2L TAS array on the chromosome is reduced (as assayed by in situ hybridization) and it has previously been shown (FBrf0137248, FBrf0158986) that partial or complete deficiency of the 2L TAS array on the homologue suppresses silencing of brown-red variants of P{3'WP-2,wvar}2Lt.
Euchromatic breakpoint not reported.
Left limit of break 1 from non-inclusion of uex (FBrf0028786) Right limit of break 1 from inclusion of l(2)41Ae (FBrf0027524) Limits of break 2 from polytene analysis (FBrf0091444)
