Four copies of P{D.ps6/5} leads to an arrest in early embryogenesis.
The timing of salivary gland histolysis (and of cellular vacuolisation which precedes the histolysis) is accelerated compared to wild type in D.melanogaster animals carrying four copies of Dpse\l(2)gl+t12.2. The duration of larval, prepupal and pupal development is normal in these animals.
Two hours after pupariation, the chromosomes of the salivary glands of D.melanogaster animals carrying four copies of Dpse\l(2)gl+t12.2 show none of the major puffs seen in wild-type prepupae of the same age. However, a puff is consistently seen in the 52A region, which usually occurs in very late prepupae.

Expression of two copies of Dpse\l(2)gl+t12.2 raises the penetrance of the zip1/zip2 failed dorsal closure phenotype to 100%. Ubiquitous overexpression of zipFL.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP, under the control of the Scer\GAL4sqh.PW, rescues dorsal closure in more than 84% of zip1/zip2; Dpse\l(2)gl+t12.2/Dpse\l(2)gl+t12.2 embryos. 61% of these rescued flies survive to hatch as larvae, 41% survive to pupal stages and 2.8% eclose as adults. Expression of zipFL.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP in the epidermis and a few amnioserosa cells, driven by Scer\GAL4e22c, rescues the zip1/zip2; Dpse\l(2)gl+t12.2/Dpse\l(2)gl+t12.2 dorsal closure phenotype in 88% of embryos. Rescued flies survive to larval stages in 60% of cases and to pupal stages in 21% of cases, although no flies eclose. Expression of zipFL.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP in the amnioserosa, driven by Scer\GAL4c381, rescues the dorsal closure phenotype of Dpse\l(2)gl+t12.2/Dpse\l(2)gl+t12.2 mutants in 82% of embryos. However, none of the rescued embryos survive to larval stages. Similarly, when zipFL.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP expression is driven in the leading edge by Scer\GAL4LE, dorsal closure is rescued in 87% of embryos, but only 1% of flies survive to larval stages. zipFL.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP expression in epidermal stripes, driven by Scer\GAL4en-e16E, rescues dorsal closure in only half of embryos and does not rescue lethality.
Assayed in D.melanogaster for ability to rescue l(2)gl mutant phenotypes.
