P{lacW} insertion in the open reading frame at the 5' end of the gene.
Female sterile over Df(1)DEB4D. Eggs from mutant mothers fail to complete meiosis. In 90% of embryos there is no sign of development and no evidence of a female pronucleus. Normal polar body structures are only rarely observed. Most common phenotype is that eggs contain a structure that resembles a nucleus arrested in anaphase. In the 10% of embryos that initiate development, there are defects in preblastoderm nuclear divisions. Divisions are not synchronous. Not all nuclei migrate to the periphery. 5% of embryos develop far enough to secret cuticle. Head involution fails during gastrulation. In embryos where head involution is partial, the most prominent defects are shortening of the lateralgraten and fusion of the ventral arms of the cephalopharyngeal skeleton.
dhd[+], dhdP8, Scer\GAL4elav.PLu is an enhancer of abnormal locomotor behavior phenotype of Hsap\GPR37UAS.cYa
The reduction in climbing ability seen in 50 day old flies expressing Hsap\GPR37Scer\UAS.cYa under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu is made more severe by the addition of dhdP8/+.
Light yellow eyes due to P{lacW} insertion.
Mutant phenotype is not rescuable by paternally contributed wild type allele. Δ2-3-induced revertants have lost the P{lacW} insertion.
