Imprecise excision of the progenitor insertion, resulting in a deletion that removes the entire Patj coding region.
Patj53 has follicle cell | somatic clone phenotype, suppressible | somatic clone by crbUAS.cWa/Scer\GAL4Tub.PU
Patj53 is a suppressor | somatic clone of stretch follicle cell | somatic clone phenotype of Scer\GAL4Tub.PU, crbUAS.cWa
Expression of crbScer\UAS.cWa under the control of Scer\GAL4tub.PU rescues the cell flattening defect seen in Patj53 follicle cell clones. In addition, Patj53 restores the normal cuboid-to-squamous transition of stretched follicle cells expressing crbScer\UAS.cWa under the control of Scer\GAL4tub.PU.
