Description

Point mutation causing premature termination of the protein.

Lethal mutation is located within exon 2 around nucleotide position -38, 336bp from the lethal mutation of biomb-3198. At amino acid position 309, 5 nucleotides of the wild type sequence are substituted for 6 nucleotides producing a frameshift that results in a stop codon after 18 amino acids.

Point mutation.

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

In bi1/biD4 larvae, overgrowth occurs in the anterior ventral pleura region of the wing disc and an ectopic furrow forms along the anteroposterior boundary of the wing pouch.

Somatic clones of biD4 homozygous cells that overlap wing vein L5 result in vein loss within the clone. This effect is not seen when these clones cross other veins, including L2.

Hemizygotes usually die at the late larval or early pupal stage, with a few animals surviving to the late pharate adult stage.

Analysis of mutant clones in the wings suggested that bi function is only required in the distal portion of the wing. Clones that reached the margin in the distal half of the wing blade produce severe scalloping, whereas internal clones, or clones that reached or crossed the margin proximally, were tolerated without phenotypic consequences.

Displays lac and rb phenotypes.

biD4, brkM68 double homozygous somatic clones in the wing either contain no veins at all, or contain short fragments of ectopic vein that do not follow clone boundaries.

Stated in Lindsley and Zimm (1992) to be deleted for amb; but this is contrary to Banga et al. (1986) and has not been confirmed elsewhere.
