Previous localization of breakpoint refined to approximately 3kb upstream of h.
Inversion break falls approximately 2.5kb 5' to the start of transcription (Ingham et al., Genetics 111: 463--486, Howard et al., Genes Dev. 2: 1037--1046.)
Deletion of upstream regulatory sequences of h, leaving approximately 5.5kb of upstream sequences intact.
Rearrangement of chromosome upstream of the h promoter. Approximately 3kb of upstream sequences remain intact.
Cuticle defects.
Even numbered denticle bands missing.
"Pair-rule segmentation phenotype": half the normal number of denticle bands form, due to a deletion of pattern elements from approximately the middle of one segment to a homologous position in the next segment.
Regulatory mutation causing alterations in hairy expression in cellular blastoderm that result in a partial version of the wild-type pattern (Howard, Ingham and Rushlow, 1988). viable
Ingham.
Selected on the basis of its failure to complement the bristle phenotype of either h1 or h2.
