    Detailed Description

    Reference

    The phenotype of this mutant appears to be wild-type, except for its ability to enhance the pigmentation defect of g alleles.

    Apparently wild type but, in combination with g1, produces a more orange eye than g1 alone. RK3.

    Statement
    Reference

    g2, g50e and g53d, we(g) double mutant flies have at least a 50% reduction of brown (ommochrome) pigments deposited in the

    eye compared to g2, g50e and g53d single mutants. g2,

    g53d, g1, and g3, we(g), double mutants have a reduction

    in red (pteridine) pigment to a lesser extent, while we(g), g50e

    mutants have at least a 50% reduction of this pigment. However, we(g),

    gP flies have similar levels of red pigment in the eye to gP

    single mutants.

    Df(1)N-8/we(g), g2 female mutant flies have over 50% less

    red pigment in the eye (giving flies pale-yellow eyes) than g2

    single mutants, while Df(1)N-8/+ g2 flies have wild-type levels

    of red pigment in the eye. Df(1)w-rJ1/we(g), g2 mutant flies

    have over 50% less red pigment and Df(1)w-rJ3/we(g), g2 have

    about 80% less red pigment than the eyes of g2 single mutants.

    These deficiency double mutants show a markedly greater reduction

    in eye pigment compared to we(g), g2 mutants. Conversely,

    Tp(1;3)N264-58 g2/we(g) g2 mutant flies have comparable

    levels of red pigment in the eye to g2 single mutants.

    All of the following w alleles when heterozygous with we(g) enhance

    the eye colour defective phenotype of g2, homozygous mutants, leading

    to a greater reduction of red pigment within the eye: w1118, w1,

    wa, wbf, wBwx, wch, wco, we, wi, wsat

    and wt. These w alleles also enhance the g50e homozygous

    mutant phenotype, except for wsat/we(g) mutants where levels

    of red eye pigment do not differ from g50e single mutants. The

    alleles w1118, w1, wa, wbf, wBwx, wco and wsat

    when heterozygous with we(g) and in combination with homozygous

    g53d lead to a greater reduction of red pigment within the eye

    compared to g53d single mutants; other alleles that affect g2

    mutants not mentioned here have not been tested with g53d.

    Expression of w+t11.7 in the anterior portion of the eye of we(g),

    g2 mutant flies results in normal pigmentation of this region.

    Transfection of w+mC is capable of increasing the amount of pigment

    in the eyes of we(g), g2/Y mutant flies, depending on the level

    of its expression. Strong expression of w+mC is capable of restoring

    pigment to g2/Y single mutant levels, thus rescuing the we(g)

    effect.

    Flies with the g alleles g2, gP, g3 and g1 all have

    reduced levels of red pigment in the eye when hemizygous with Df(1)HA92

    and heterozygous for we(g)/+ compared to flies that are homozygous

    for the same g alleles and also for we(g).

    Flies homozygous for the g alleles g2, gP, g3 and g1

    that are also Df(1)N-8/+ have reduced levels of red pigment in the

    eye compared to flies that are homozygous double mutants for the same

    g alleles and we(g). This reduction is more pronounced in flies

    that have a Df(1)N-8/we(g) genotype instead of Df(1)N-8/+.

    In contrast to g53d homozygotes, gP/g53d transheterozygotes

    do interact with we(g), as gP/g53d, we(g) and gP/g53d,

    we(g)/+ flies have a reduced amount of red pigment in the eye compared

    to gP, we(g) double mutant flies.

    Female flies that are homozygous for caunspecified, carunspecified,

    cmunspecified, dorunspecified, ltunspecified, ltdunspecified,

    punspecified, prunspecified, rbunspecified or ryunspecified

    have reduced levels of pigment in the eye when in combination with

    we(g)/Df(1)N-8 compared to in wild-type flies. Eye pigment levels

    of the following homozygous mutants are not significantly affected

    in we(g)/Df(1)N-8 mutants compared to wild-type flies: bounspecified,

    bwunspecified, cdunspecified, cnunspecified, dkeunspecified,

    Meunspecified, Mot-Kunspecified, mwunspecified, pnunspecified,

    rasunspecified, seunspecified, stunspecified, vunspecified

    and wounspecified. we(g)/Df(1)N-8; malunspecified and

    we(g)/Df(1)N-8; melunspecified female flies have higher levels

    of pigment in the eye than malunspecified and melunspecified

    single mutants.
