Deletion of 22716bp covering exons II, III, IV, V, VI and some 3'UTR of lz.
Deletion corresponding to nucleotides 8291-31006 of accession number AJ217651.
Deletion of the entire coding region.
Position of mutation on reference sequence inferred by FlyBase curator based on author statement: Deletion corresponding to nucleotides 8291-31006 of GB:AJ217651.
increased cell size | third instar larval stage (with lzgal4), with Scer\GAL4lz-gal4
Mutants have smaller eyes than wild type and show a dramatic loss of ommatidial structure and loss of pigmentation.
Homozygotes have smooth eyes.
The number of sense organ founder cells seen in the antennal disc 10 hours after pupariation is reduced compared to wild-type. The number of trichoid and basiconic sensilla on the antenna is drastically reduced compared to wild-type, while the number of coeloconic sensilla is largely unaffected.
Adult eye has a smooth surface lacking lenses and the ommatidial array.Partial or complete loss of tarsal claws in the leg, a reduction of the third antennal segment and partial loss of female fertility. Mosaic clones are generated in the eye, lz- cells lack pigment granules and cells along the clone border are phenotypically normal and abnormal. Aberrant ommatidia along the border contain seven rather than six outer photoreceptor cells.
Ras85DN17.hs.2sev, lzr1/lz[+] has eye phenotype
Ras85DN17.hs.2sev, lzr1/lz[+] has ommatidium phenotype
Ras85DN17.hs.2sev, lzr1 has eye phenotype
Ras85DN17.hs.2sev, lzr1 has ommatidium phenotype
The rescue of the lzr1 mutant eye phenotype by lzmF4 does not occur if the flies also carry aopACT.GMR; most ommatidial structure is lost in these flies. lzr1/+ ; Ras85DN17.hs.2sev/+ flies have a rough eye phenotype.
