knkunspecified mutants exhibit septate junctions that are indistinguishable from wild-type. knkunspecified mutant epithelia exhibit normal apical basal polarity.
Homozygous clones in the wing have wing hairs that lack pigmentation and are thinner and flimsier than normal.
knkunspecified mutant embryos have a defective head skeleton and narrowed denticle bands. Embryos are rarely inverted in the egg case.
kkvunspecified knkunspecified double mutant embryos have a phenotype indistinguishable from kkvunspecified single mutant embryos.
knkunspecified is rescued by knkUAS.cMa/Scer\GAL4Tub.PU
Expression of knkScer\UAS.cMa, under the control of Scer\GAL4αTub84B.PK rescues knkunspecified lethality and the tracheal and cuticle knkunspecified defects.
