From kcook@XXXX Thu Sep 11 19:40:31 2003 To: rd120@XXXX Subject: Myster and Peifer lethals The following information accompanied stocks donated to the Bloomington Stock Center by Steve Myster and Mark Peifer, University of North Carolina (6/03). 1. A cn1 bw1 chromosome was mutagenized with EMS and lethal mutations were isolated that failed to complement Df(2R)M41A8. This led to the identification of the following complementation groups: l(2)NC83 1 allele = l(2)NC83NC83 l(2)NC30 1 allele = l(2)NC30NC30 l(2)NC28 1 allele = l(2)NC28NC28 l(2)NC37 1 allele = l(2)NC37NC37 l(2)NC38 2 alleles = l(2)NC38NC38 and l(2)NC38NC173 l(2)NC133 1 allele = l(2)NC133NC133 l(2)NC110 1 allele = l(2)NC110NC110 l(2)NC70 1 allele = l(2)NC70NC70 l(2)NC19 6 alleles including l(2)NC19NC19 and l(2)NC19NC86 l(2)NC204 1 allele = l(2)NC204NC204 l(2)NC192 1 allele = l(2)NC192NC192 l(2)NC85 2 alleles including l(2)NC85NC85 and l(2)NC85NC117 l(2)NC148 1 allele = l(2)NC148NC148 l(2)NC139 1 allele = l(2)NC139NC139 l(2)NC45 1 allele = l(2)NC45NC45 l(2)NC130 6 alleles including l(2)NC130NC130 and l(2)NC130NC95 l(2)NC12 1 allele = l(2)NC12NC12 l(2)NC47 3 alleles including l(2)NC47NC47 and l(2)NC47NC84 l(2)NC114 1 allele = l(2)NC114NC114 l(2)NC14 4 alleles including l(2)NC14NC14 and l(2)NC14NC54 l(2)NC136 2 alleles including l(2)NC136NC136 which failed to complement P{SUPor-P}CG8426KG10496 2. Additional alleles of the following complementation groups were isolated: l(2)IR3 5 new alleles including l(2)IR3NC1 l(2)41Af 1 new allele called l(2)41AfNC21 Nipped-A 36 new alleles including Nipped-ANC116 and Nipped-ANC186 3. The following deletions were isolated from the screen: Df(2R)NC138 which failed to complement mutations in l(2)NC30 and l(2)NC28 Df(2R)NC109 which failed to complement mutations in l(2)NC37 and l(2)NC38 Df(2R)NC9 which failed to complement mutations in l(2)IR3, l(2)IR23 and l(2)NC19 Df(2R)NC89 which failed to complement mutations in l(2)IR23 and l(2)NC19 Df(2R)NC13 and Df(2R)NC228 which failed to complement mutations in l(2)NC83, l(2)NC30, l(2)NC28, l(2)309, l(2)NC37, l(2)NC38, l(2)NC133, l(2)NC110, l(2)NC70, l(2)IR3, l(2)IR23, l(2)NC19, l(2)41Af, l(2)NC204, Nipped-B, Nipped-A, l(2)NC192, l(2)NC85, l(2)NC148, l(2)NC139, l(2)NC45, l(2)NC130, l(2)NC12, l(2)NC47, l(2)NC114, l(2)NC14, l(2)NC136, vlc and Bub1 and deleted the CG40293, p120ctn and CG17486 sequences. Df(2R)NC73 which failed to complement mutations in l(2)NC192, l(2)NC85, l(2)NC148, l(2)NC139, l(2)NC45, l(2)NC130, l(2)NC12, l(2)NC47, l(2)NC114, l(2)NC14, l(2)NC136 and vlc. Df(2R)NC32 which failed to complement mutations in l(2)NC130, l(2)NC12 and l(2)NC47 Df(2R)NC219 which failed to complement mutations in l(2)NC47, l(2)NC114 and l(2)NC14 Df(2R)NC207 which failed to complement mutations in l(2)NC14 and l(2)NC136 4. Df(2R)Dark2, Df(2R)244, Df(2R)247 and P{SUPor-P}l(2)3091 were isolated after mobilization of P{SUPor-P}KG01086. Df(2R)Dark2 deletes the CG17486 sequence. Df(2R)244 deletes the CG40293 and p120ctn sequences. Df(2R)247 fails to complement mutations in l(2)NC37, l(2)NC38, l(2)NC133, l(2)NC110, l(2)NC70, l(2)IR3, l(2)IR23, l(2)NC19, l(2)41Af and l(2)NC204 and deletes the CG40293 and p120ctn sequences. 5. Hilliker (Genetics 83: 765-782, 1976; FBrf0028786) described l(2)41Ae as a complex locus showing complicated interallelic complementation patterns. Some or all of the mutations defining the twelve most proximal complementation groups listed above (l(2)NC83, l(2)NC30, l(2)NC28, l(2)309, l(2)NC37, l(2)NC38, l(2)NC133, l(2)NC110, l(2)NC70, l(2)IR3, l(2)IR23 and l(2)NC19) may be alleles of l(2)41Ae __________________________________________________________ Kevin Cook, Ph.D. Bloomington Drosophila Stock Center Department of Biology http://flystocks.bio.indiana.edu Jordan Hall 142 Indiana University 812-855-5782 1001 E.
