P{PZ} insertion in an intron.
Homozygous embryos have defects in dorsal closure and ventral cuticle differentiation. The dorsal cuticle is reduced and the embryos have upturned tails and curved abdomens. Elongated neuronal cell bodies, thickened axon bundles and fasciculation defects are seen in the peripheral nervous system. The cells in the amnioserosa are not apoptotic in stage 8-14 embryos. Elongated leading edge cells are seen in homozygous embryos undergoing dorsal closure.
raw02418/raw[+] is a suppressor | partially of partially lethal - majority die phenotype of slprBS06
A. Spradling.
Excision of the P{PZ} element reverts the lethal phenotype.
