P{lacZ} insertion into the first intron.
Homozygous clones in the retina can result in defects in the mechanosensory bristles of the ommatidia, including duplication and missing and misplaced bristles.
Homozygotes mostly die as late second instar larvae, between 88 and 184 hours after egg-laying. Homozygotes show a delay in moulting from first to second instar larvae compared to wild-type.
ItprB4/Itp-r83A[+] is an enhancer of abnormal size | adult stage phenotype of sl2
ItprB4/Itp-r83A[+] is an enhancer of increased cell number | adult stage phenotype of sl2
ItprB4/Itp-r83A[+] is an enhancer of increased cell number | adult stage phenotype of sl9
ItprB4/Itp-r83A[+] is a non-enhancer of abnormal size | adult stage phenotype of sl9
ItprB4/Itp-r83A[+] is an enhancer of wing blade phenotype of sl2
ItprB4/Itp-r83A[+] is an enhancer of photoreceptor cell R7 | adult stage phenotype of sl2
ItprB4/Itp-r83A[+] is an enhancer of photoreceptor cell R7 | adult stage phenotype of sl9
ItprB4/Itp-r83A[+] is a non-enhancer of wing blade phenotype of sl9
One copy of Itp-r83AB4 enhances the reduction in wing blade area seen in homozygous sl2 males.
One copy of Itp-r83AB4 does not enhance the reduction in wing blade area seen in homozygous sl9 males.
One copy of Itp-r83AB4 significantly enhances the ectopic wing vein phenotype seen in sl2 homozygotes.
One copy of Itp-r83AB4 enhances the percentage of sl2 mutant ommatidia that contain extra R7 photoreceptors. The number of R7 cells per ommatidium is also increased.
One copy of Itp-r83AB4 enhances the percentage of sl9 mutant ommatidia that contain extra R7 photoreceptors. The number of R7 cells per ommatidium is also increased.
Complete excision of the P{lacZ} element reverts the lethality of Itp-r83AB4.
