Imprecise excision of the P{EP} element in P{EP}Caf1-105G2212 has resulted in a 2480bp deletion that covers most of the Caf1-105 coding region and part of CG11777.
The majority of Caf1-10536 mutant larvae do not survive longer than 48 hours after egg deposition (AED) and exhibit an apparent developmental delay and small body size when compared with wild type larvae of the same age. A few escapees live longer than 72 hours, but never survive to the pupal stage.
In contrast to wild type controls, Caf1-10536 mutant clones (generated in a Minute background) show a notched wing phenotype.
Caf1-105[+]/Caf1-10536 is an enhancer of visible phenotype of N1
Caf1-105[+]/Caf1-10536, stx2 has visible | adult stage phenotype
Caf1-105[+]/Caf1-10536 is an enhancer of wing phenotype of N1
Caf1-105[+]/Caf1-10536, stx2 has tergite phenotype
Double heterozygous stuxnet2;Caf1-10536 females display tergite boundary defects that are not observed in stuxnet2 single heterozygote females.
One copy of Caf1-10536 enhances the penetrance of the notched wing phenotype seen in N1 mutant flies.
Caf1-10536 is rescued by Caf1-105UAS.Tag:HA/Scer\GAL4da.G32
Expression of Caf1-105Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32 completely rescues the phenotypes seen in Caf1-10536 mutants. These flies do not exhibit any detectable defects.
