Description

Uncharacterised alterations located 5' to the transcription unit and 10kb 3' to the transcription unit.

Single 6.4kb insertion in the PstI HaeIII fragment.

4.0 kb insert, Different from the insert in ci36. ci1, ci36, ci57, ciD and ciW mutant in the same 5.8 kb Bgl fragment. This fragment hybridizes to a 2.0 kb RNA that shows peak concentrations in late pupae.

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Heterozygotes show variable loss of vein L4 tissue.

Heterozygotes show wing vein L4 defects.

When analysed in large clones in the developing eye the packing in the ommatidial clusters is disrupted.

Wings from homozygotes have, at low penetrance, a mirror symmetrical outgrowth composed of anterior wing material, resembling duplications caused by ectopic dpp expression.

Homozygotes occasionally show overgrowth in the anterior compartment of the wing. ciD/ciW flies have abnormal legs.

Homozygous viable.

Lack all longitudinal and transverse veins and affect morphogenesis of legs and eyes.

Homozygote is extreme ci type. Wings sometimes almost twice normal width, arclike, and virtually lack veins. Often present is a well-organized pattern of venation in which the posterior crossvein flows smoothly into L5. Legs lumpy, sex combs larger than normal, antennae enlarged, eyes smaller and extra bristles present. Heterozygote shows gap in L4 in 80% of flies. ciW enhanced by H, en, and Cy (House, 1953c; House 1959) and by Tp(4;Y) (Benner, 1972). Temperature effect described by House (1955b). RK2.

Additional Comments
Genetic Interactions
Statement
Reference

The ciW/+ wing vein L4 phenotype is enhanced by one copy of cg07659.

The wing vein L4 defects observed in ciW/+ heterozygotes are enhanced by one copy of cg07659 or cg3.

Wing phenotype is enhanced by enEnci at 18oC.

The wing and leg phenotypes of ciD/ciW flies are not altered by fuJ.

When doubly heterozygous with en loss of function alleles, the dominant ci phenotype is enhanced. Three doses of en+ suppress expression of the ci phenotype in ciW heterozygotes.

Comments

Weak gain of function allele.

Strength of ci alleles showing a ci phenotype in combination with enEnci can be ordered: ci1 < ci36 < ci57 << ciW.
