Construct: Deletion of the BglII-XhoI fragment from the nos 3' UTR, leaving essentially only the TCE.
In single copy partially complements the embryonic segmentation defects of nos-, restoring 5-6 abdominal segments, rather than 8. Two copies of P{nos(ΔBX)} can restore 8 abdominal segments, and resulting adults are viable and fertile. Cannot restore abdominal segmentation to osk- and vas- embryos.

nosΔBX, nosBN/nosBN females that are also heterozygous for wah1 give rise to embryos that rarely hatch, concomitant with a reduction in the average number of abdominal segments from 3.7 to 1.9.
nosΔBX, nosBN/nosBN females that are also heterozygous for wah06536, wahc04892 or Df(3R)Exel8162 give rise to embryos with a reduction in the average number of abdominal segments.
The mutant abdominal segmentation phenotype seen in females carrying nosΔBX in a nosBN/nosBN background is enhanced (abdominal segmentation is abolished) if the females also carry one copy of Hsp83A133D.
The mutant abdominal segmentation phenotype seen in females carrying nosΔBX in a nosBN/nosBN background is enhanced (abdominal segmentation is reduced) if the females also carry one copy of Hsp83e6D or Hsp83e6A.
The mutant abdominal segmentation phenotype seen in females carrying nosΔBX in a nosBN/nosBN background is not affected if the females also carry one copy of Hsp83j5C2.
No genetic interaction in terms of abdominal segmentation is seen in the cupunspecified/nosΔBX ; nosBN combination.
