wing basal cell 1 & wing hair
Phenotype is stronger at 29oC than at 18oC. Considered to be antimorphic for the dominant basal cell phenotype, but hemizygotes show a weaker phenotype than for VangA3 hemizygotes, indicating that VangA5 is hypomorphic for the recessive wing hair polarity phenotype. Phenotype falls between that of the fz-like and in-like classes of phenotype.
VangA5 has phenotype, enhanceable by Df(3L)fz-D21
Double mutants of VangTbs42, VangA3 or VangA5 with fz24, dsh1 inunspecified and mwhunspecified all showed hair polarity pattern typical of the fz-in group. Vang is epistatic to pk; double mutants of VangTbs42, VangA3 or VangA5 with pk1 show a fz-in group phenotype, possible less severe than for the Vang single mutant. In double mutant combinations between VangA3, VangA5 and VangTbs42 with fz1, fz25 and fz30, the fz-in type of polarity pattern was slightly less abnormal than in either single mutant.
