Description

Insertion of P{lacW} in the third intron at nucleotide 153,036 of AE003734.

Insertion into the third intron, which separates coding exon 2 from coding exon 3 of the mod(mdg4) transcription unit. The insertion lies 121 bp downstream from the 3' junction of coding exon 2.

Insertion of a P-element into the third intron, 121bp downstream to the 5' splice junction.

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

mod(mdg4)m9/mod(mdg4)neo129 have 75% early pupal (P1-4) lethality, and 25% late pupa to pharate adult lethality (stage 12-15) and pharate adults show homeotic transformations: in males s6 (sternite of the sixth segment) has 3-7 (average 5) bristles, t7 (tergite of the seventh segment) is enlarged and bears several bristles; in females s7 bears 9-11 bristles and occasionally 3 large bristles instead of 2, bristles on s7 occasionally lose orientation, and t8 occasionally bears 1-2 bristles.

mod(mdg4)neo129/+ suppresses the variegation of lt due to In(2LR)ltG10 (seen in In(2LR)ltG10/Df(2L)lt10 animals derived from lt16/Df(2L)lt10 females), so that the percentage of pigmented Malpighian tubule cells is increased in the double mutant larvae. mod(mdg4)neo129/+ suppresses the variegation of lt due to In(2L)ltX2 (seen in In(2L)ltX2/Df(2L)lt10 animals derived from lt16/Df(2L)lt10 females), so that the percentage of pigmented Malpighian tubule cells is increased in the double mutant larvae. mod(mdg4)neo129/+ does not suppress the variegation of lt due to T(2;3)ltX13 (seen in T(2;3)ltX13/Df(2L)lt10 animals derived from lt16/Df(2L)lt10 females); there is no significant change in the percentage of pigmented Malpighian tubule.

Enhances the variegation in, i.e. reduces the eye pigmentation of, In(1)wm4h, Su(var)2-11 males. Homozygous females obtained at 29oC produce a small number of eggs that do not show signs of further development. Ovaries are of various size and ovarioles are fewer than normal and contain fewer egg chambers.

Does not enhance transinactivation of bw caused by Tp(2;2)bw-DX7.

Some homozygous escapers develop to the adult stage.

Enhances variegation of In(1)wm4h.

Strong dominant enhancer effect on w variegation in In(1)wm4h. Homozygous males display a strong transformation of the fifth into the fourth abdominal segment, weak transformation is displayed by heterozygotes.

One copy of Dvir\mod(mdg4)t11.5 can rescue the lethality of mod(mdg4)neo129 homozygotes (92% of the expected progeny survive). One copy of Dvir\mod(mdg4)t11.5 can rescue the lethality of mod(mdg4)02/mod(mdg4)neo129 transheterozygotes, with the degree of rescue depending on the P{Dvir\mod(mdg4)t11.5} line used (95.1% and full viability has been seen). One copy of Dvir\mod(mdg4)t11.5 can rescue the lethality of mod(mdg4)R32/mod(mdg4)neo129 transheterozygotes. Rescued males show greater viability (63.2%) compared to rescued females (40.5%). One copy of Dvir\mod(mdg4)t11.5 does not suppresses the lethality of mod(mdg4)07/mod(mdg4)neo129 transheterozygotes. One copy of Dvir\mod(mdg4)t6.8 partially rescues the lethality of mod(mdg4)02/mod(mdg4)neo129 transheterozygotes (34% viability is seen).

Comments

The semi-lethal phenotype of mod(mdg4)neo129 is fully complemented by mod(mdg4)Z3-3401, but mod(mdg4)neo129 fails to complement mod(mdg4)Z3-3401 with respect to X-Y chromosome nondisjunction in male meiosis - transheterozygotes show a high level of X-Y nondisjunction (41.2%).

The lethal phenotype of mod(mdg4)neo129 is fully complemented by mod(mdg4)Z3-5578 and mod(mdg4)Z3-3298, and mod(mdg4)neo129 partially or fully complements these alleles with respect to X-Y chromosome nondisjunction in male meiosis - the transheterozygotes show only a low level of X-Y nondisjunction (frequency is indicated in parentheses after each allele); mod(mdg4)Z3-5578 (4.46%) and mod(mdg4)Z3-3298 (7.64%).

Member of Group I complementation group. Complementation statement based on transheterozygous phenotype in terms of suppression or non-suppression of y2 and ct6 visible phenotypes.

Alleles of mod(mdg4) show an allelic series for their effect on In(1)wm4h variegation. From strongest to weakest: mod(mdg4)R32 = mod(mdg4)04 = mod(mdg4)06 = mod(mdg4)07 = mod(mdg4)142Δ32 > mod(mdg4)neo129 = mod(mdg4)02 = mod(mdg4)03 > mod(mdg4)05.

Strong enhancer. High spontaneous background rate of E(var) mutations in these experiments allows for the possibility that the P insertion is not the cause of the E(var) phenotype.

P-element has been precisely excised generating wild type revertants.
