Nucleotide substitution: G?A. The mutation is within the 3' splice junction of exon 6.
G8237170A
G?A
A G to A mutation in the splice donor site.
Homozygous eye clones have photoreceptors with normally shaped rhabdomeres. The stalk membrane is reduced by approximately 50% in these mutant photoreceptors. The mutant photoreceptors undergo retinal degeneration when exposed to light. This light-induced degeneration is strongly reduced if the animals are raised and maintained on vitamin A-depleted medium.
Homozygous embryos derived from germ line clones exhibit severe malformations or an absence of epidermis. sdtXN bazYD double mutants exhibit abnormal zonula adherens formation and mislocalisation of membrane protein neurotactin, phenotype is stronger than sdtXP single mutant. Double mutants exhibit early cell shape changes, the surface of early gastrulating embryos shows irregularly shaped cell apices and in some areas may be multilayered by mid-gastrulation. Ultimately the cells undergo a complete transformation from epidermal to a mesenchymal-like morphology.
No changes in phenotype of tor13D embryos.
sdt[+]/sdtXN is an enhancer of visible | adult stage phenotype of Hsap\MAPTUAS.cWa, Scer\GAL4GMR.PF
sdtXN/sdtXN is an enhancer of neoplasia | somatic clone phenotype of Ras85DV12.UAS, Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI
sdt[+]/sdtXN is an enhancer of eye phenotype of Hsap\MAPTUAS.cWa, Scer\GAL4GMR.PF
baz4, sdtXN has embryonic/first instar larval cuticle phenotype
Marked clones in the eye disc expressing Ras85DV12.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI and which are also homozygous for sdtN5 show metastatic behaviour.
Maternal germline clonal analysis demonstrates there is no maternal effect.
