No sequence alteration compared to wild type has been found in the coding region or in the splice junctions.
sarcomere & somatic muscle
Mutant embryos show a strong cytoskeletal detachment phenotype in the somatic muscles. The defect is first seen at stage 17, when the actin within the muscles retracts from the muscle ends. Mutant embryos have no midgut defects.
Hemizygous embryos do not show muscle detachment at stage 16, but at stage 17, 100% of the embryos show a muscle detachment phenotype.
Defects in the structure of the sarcomeres within the striated somatic muscles. Nerve cord is not fully condensed. Midgut morphogenesis occurs normally and the vast majority of muscles remain attached to the epidermis. Mutants are unable to form normal contractile somatic muscles. 80% of double heterozygotes with mysxR04 survive.
ifSEF has presumptive embryonic/larval muscle system phenotype, enhanceable by Zasp[+]/Zasp52Δ
ifSEF has presumptive embryonic/larval muscle system phenotype, non-enhanceable by Zasp52f04784/CG30084[+]
The muscle detachment phenotype seen in ifSEF embryos is more severe and appears at an earlier stage if the embryos also carry ZaspΔ/+. Heterozygosity for Zaspf04784 does not enhance the muscle detachment phenotype of ifSEF embryos.
Selected as: F2 screen against if+t39.
Class II mutation.
