Deletion of the LFKPY motif (gro interaction domain).
The cuticles of eve3 or eve3/Df(2R)eve embryos carrying eveEGNΔLFK resembles that of an eve hypomorph, with pair-rule defects in the pattern of abdominal denticle bands.
The degree of rescue of the eve3 embryonic phenotype conferred by two copies of eveEGNΔLFK is reduced slightly if the mother is heterozygous for groE48.
eveEGNΔLFK fails to rescue eve3/Df(2R)eve
eveEGNΔLFK fails to rescue eve3
One copy of eveEGNΔLFK almost completely rescues the pCC neuron defects that are seen in homozygous Df(2R)eve embryos carrying eveΔRP2A, and rescue of RP2 and aCC neuron defects is also seen.
