Description

Insertion of a roo element into the 5' regulatory region.

roo insertion in 5' regulatory region.

roo insertion at nucleotide position +4922.

roo insertion into 5' regulatory region.

Insertion of a roo element in the 5' regulatory region.

Insertion of a roo element into the 5' cis-acting regulatory sequences of w.

Insertion of roo element at +4922.

roo insertion in 5' regulatory region.

roo insertion in the 5' cis regulatory region.

roo insertion at nucleotide position -1170.

Insertion of a 9.2 kb roo-element at map position +4.9 relative to the transcription start site of w.

roo insertion within the w locus.

The wsp1 region has been cloned (Zachar and Bingham, 1982) and sequenced (O'Hare, Murphy, Levis and Rubin, 1984); it is located 1.0-1.9 kb upstream from the 5' end of the start of w+ transcription (Zachar and Bingham, 1982; O'Hare, Levis and Rubin, 1983). wsp1 shows sequence homology and behavior analogous to enhancer sequences (Davison, Chapman, Wedeen and Bingham, 1985). The lesions responsible for wsp1, wsp2 and wsp4 have been analyzed by sequencing cloned portions of these alleles; the breakpoints of wsp3 and wsp81d have also been established by molecular methods. wsp1 carries roo; the other alleles are molecular deletions. Sensitivity to the effect of su(wsp) on eye pigmentation is deleted by wsp81d but not by wsp3 (Davison, Chapman, Wedeen and Bingham, 1985). 8.7 kb insertion map site (kb): +4.92; Origin = insertion of wa copia; '-' values to left (telomere) end; '+' values to right (centromere) end. In spite of the variegated pattern of spots in the eye in this mutant, the transcript is like that of w+ in size, structure and amount (Levis et al., 1984; Pirrotta and Brockl, 1984).

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Eye pigmentation is reduced in pharate adults.

Homozygous males are darker than homozygous females. Triple X metafemale individuals homozygous for wsp1 exhibit a lighter eye colour than wsp1 homozygous XX females.

Eye colour: uniformly coloured as wsp1/we59; darker than either homozygous wsp1 or homozygous we59 females.

Testis colour: pigmentation enhanced.

Eye colour: relatively light, non-uniform distribution of eye colour.

Eye colour: homogenous brown, with w1. Eye colour: homogenous brown, with wch. Eye colour: homogenous brown, with wa.

Eye colour: white, as wa wsp1. Eye colour: pale yellow, as wch wsp1. Eye colour: like wsp1 when heterozygous with w-.

Eye colour: yellowish to brown; fine-grained mottling; male darker than female. Eye colour: yellow, in females with z1, and two synapsed copies of wsp1 in trans (or tandemly repeated). Malpighian tubule colour: wild-type. Affects that deposition of the eye pigments, resulting in a variegated phenotype.

Reference

Eye pigmentation of wsp1 animals is restored to almost wild type levels in east1 or easthop-7 homozygotes, or east1/easthop-7 transheterozygotes. wsp1 eye pigmentation is rescued to intermediate levels in east1 or easthop-7 heterozygotes.

Transheterozygotes with su(wsp)R63 have more red eye pigment than wsp1 flies.

No interaction with mutations of Rm62.

Located proximal to wch and distal to wDZL.

Frequency of reversion of the 8.7kb roo insertion in both somatic tissue and the germline after larval exposure to three different alkylating agents, EMS, ENU and MMS, is analysed. The mutagens used did not induce excision of roo, the revertant phenotypes obtained are due to second site modifiers acting on w expression.

Shows hyper-dosage compensation.
