Insertion of a blood element after exon 6, at a position corresponding to nucleotide 2028 of the Sb cDNA sequence. This results in a truncated 2.7kb transcript, which consists of Sb sequence up to nucleotide 2028 followed by 647bp of blood element sequences. A stop codon occurs after 66 nucleotides of blood sequence so that the protein product could include up to 22 amino acids derived from the blood element. A second insertion is also present in the 5' end of the gene.
Insertion between -55.5 and -57kb and another insertion at -61kb.
8% of heterozygotes have a malformed leg phenotype.
Heterozygotes have wild-type leg and wing morphology. A dominant bristle phenotype is seen in the trochanter.
Mutant leg discs exhibit defective cell shape changes that result in malformed short legs. Mutant leg discs fail to show the successful transformation of cells from anisometric to isometric in the basitarsal and tibial segments.
Sb bristles have more actin filament bundles than normal (25-30 as opposed to the wild type 15-18). These filament bundles are abnormally irregular in thickness and arrangement from the first stage they can be seen in pupal development. By 40 hrs of pupal development filament elongation stops abruptly, resulting in short, blunt ended bristles.
Bristles of Sb63b/+ somewhat shorter and thicker than Sb1. Wings and legs normal. Homozygote shows reduced viability, short, thick bristles, small wings, and short deformed legs (Beaton et al., 1988; FBrf0048216). Sb63b/Sb1 viable and fertile, more extreme than either heterozygote. RK1. strong allele homozygous viable

The frequency of the malformed leg phenotype seen in Sb63b/+ heterozygotes (8%) is increased if the flies are also heterozygous for Rho172O (31%), Rho1k02107b (93%), rok1 (24%) or zipEbr (63%). The frequency of the malformed leg phenotype seen in Sb63b/+ heterozygotes (8%) is not increased if the flies are also heterozygous for Rac1J11/+ (3%), Rac2314/+ (4%), Cdc423/+ (3%) or Cdc424/+ (6%). Expression of LIMK1D522A.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4hs.PB enhances the frequency of the malformed leg phenotype seen in Sb63b/+ heterozygotes from 8% to 58%.
Rho1E3.10/+ ; Sb63b/+ flies have crumpled wings. Sb63b shows a strong interaction (at least 50% of double heterozygotes have at least one malformed leg) with the following mutations: Rho112-6, Rho1J3.8, Rho1E3.10, Rho172F, Rho172O and Df(2R)Jp8. Sb63b shows a moderate interaction (25-49% of double heterozygotes have at least one malformed leg) with the following mutations: RhoGEF211-3, rok2, Df(2R)Jp1 and E(zip)18-518-5.

Merriam, Feb. 1963.
Transcript analysis suggests that the insertion at -61kb is spliced out of the transcript suggesting that the insertion between -55.5 and -57kb is the one responsible for the mutant phenotype.
