Imprecise excision of P{GT1}e(y)1BG00948 results in a 627bp deletion within e(y)1.
Inferred boundaries of a 627 bp deletion resulting from the imprecise excision of P{GT1}Taf9BG00948.
e(y)120 homozygotes are lethal after wandering third instar larval stage - few larvae form white prepupa but then die.
The size of large lipid droplets in the fat body of e(y)120 homozygous mutant wandering third instar larvae (but not in second and early third instar larvae) is significantly increased compared to controls.
Taf920 is rescued by Taf9UAS.cFa/Scer\GAL4ppl.PP
The increased size of fat body lipid droplets characteristic for e(y)120 mutant third instar larvae can be rescued by expression of e(y)1Scer\UAS.cFa under the control of Scer\GAL4ppl.PP in the mutant background.
