Description

A complete 7kb 412 transposable element is inserted in the 33rd cadherin domain. The 412 transposon inserted into ft differs from previously described 412 insertions: the 5' LTR contains an additional 33bp of which 29 are a direct repeat of the LTR sequence, there is a 3bp insertion between ft and the 5' LTR, and 11bp of ft DNA at the site of insertion is lost.

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

ftG has no rescuing effect on mxcG48 or mxcG43.

Heterozygotes show outstretched wings. Homozygotes show overgrowth of imaginal discs.

Additional wild-type copies of the ft gene can suppress the characteristics of the ftG phenotype.

Heterozygous adults have held out wings, and there are minor changes in bristle pattern on the head. Transheterozygous combinations of ftG with ftG-rv, ft8 or ft1 produces larvae with overgrown discs that die at the pupal stage, with some exaggerated "fat" escapers in the case of ft1.

Wings large, held out from sides at 45-90o angle, curved downward and somewhat pointed. Vein L1 thickened; crossveins closer together, sometimes broken. Thoracic and vertical bristles duplicated in majority of flies. G/ft has exaggerated ft phenotype. Partially inhibited by ds/+ and much inhibited by ds/ds. Homozygous lethal. RK2. Causes local shortening of map by about 1.1 units.

Reference

Clones double mutant for l(2)gd11 and ftG show extensive overgrowth. Wing discs bend at the hinge region and show many extra folds that probably result from excess proliferation. Discs are initially smaller than wild type or either single mutant but eventually outgrow them. Leg discs are greatly overgrown, approximating the size of a wild type wing disc, and show no sign of duplications, except for the first leg disc. Haltere disc is also overgrown with an occasional duplication of the capitellum pouch. The eye-antennal disc is massively overgrown and becomes the largest disc, with duplications and triplications of the antenna knob and the retinal field. Genital discs duplicate and show many extra folds. Double mutants do not survive to pharate adults.
