Genetic mapping information
Comments

This deletion removes multiple ribosomal protein-coding genes (in addition to other genes).

Breakpoint 1 was mapped to a XhoI-XhoI restriction fragment. The position of the restriction fragment on the reference sequence was inferred by a FlyBase curator.

Comments on Cytology

Distal breakpoint is 5' of the bowl polyadenylation site.

Left limit of break 1 from polytene analysis (FBrf0047784) Right limit of break 1 from polytene analysis (FBrf0049878) Left limit of break 2 from polytene analysis (FBrf0047784) Right limit of break 2 from polytene analysis (FBrf0056564)

    In combination with other aberrations

    Df(2L)ed-dp/Df(2L)M24F11 transheterozygotes exhibit delayed ventral furrow invagination, mesoderm spreading defects and a malformed germ band.

    Df(2L)ed-dp/Df(2L)sc19-8 transheterozygotes exhibit delayed ventral furrow invagination, mesoderm spreading defects and a malformed germ band.

    Fails to complement Df(2L)tutl4.

    NOT in combination with other aberrations

    Df(2L)ed-dp embryos have normal commissures and longitudinal connectives.

    Approximately a quarter of embryos from Df(2L)ed-dp heterozygotes exhibit a delay in the invagination of the ventral furrow as compared to controls.

    Flies heterozygous for the deletion show a Minute bristle phenotype.

    Does not cause unconditional lethality in hybrid females when heterozygous with D.simulans chromosome.

    Heterozygosity for this deletion has no effect on the mutant ovarian phenotype of ovoD2.

    Reduced viability and fertility.

    Other Comments
     

    The Df(2L)ed-dp chromosome may act as a dominant suppressor of telomeric silencing (assayed using the effect of the chromosome on the eye colour phenotype of flies carrying "P{wvar}KR3-2", a stable "brown-red" variant of the P{3'WP-2,wvar}2Lt insertion), but the eye colour phenotype in the presence of Df(2L)ed-dp overlaps the eye colour phenotype in a wild-type background so it cannot be unequivocally demonstrated that the deficiency chromosome uncovers a suppressor of telomeric silencing.
