Additional Information
Statement
Reference

Abd-B protein is observed in parasegments 13-15 but not in parasegments 11 and 12 in the ectoderm and in the CNS.

Abd-B transcripts are observed in parasegments 13-15 but not in parasegments 11 and 12.

Abd-B expression is greatly reduced or absent in the epidermis and the ventral nerve cord in parasegments 10-12.

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Hemizygotes show an iab5,6,7 mutant phenotype: abdominal segments A5-A7 transform towards A4. Heterozygotes with Abd-B point or pseudopoint mutations cause a less severe mutant phenotype, with mixed A5/A6 identity in A6 and A7. Abd-Biab7-MX2/Df(3R)R59 flies do not show male specific pigmentation in A5-A7.

Transforms parasegments 10--12 into parasegment 9 (FBrf0042053). Hemizygous or homozygous embryos show an anterior boundary in the epidermis and nerve cord that coincides to that of parasegment 13.

Transforms A5-A7 (parasegments 10-12) into A4 (parasegment 9).

Phenotype over UbxMX12, abd-AM1, Abd-BM8 is the same as when over Abd-B-. The phenotype of Abd-Biab7-MX2/Abd-Biab8-D14 is unaffected by alleles of z.

Expression of Abd-B protein and mRNA is limited to parasegments 13-15.

Antibody staining reveals that Abd-Biab7-MX2 has no function in A5-A7.

m- r+ mutant, with defect in spatial regulation of Abd-B function. No effect on penetrance of head defect phenotype when in trans with Abd-Biab9-tuh-3.
