cv-d1has an in-frame deletion in exon 5 that is predicted to remove K485-N565 from the Vg domain. Sequencing of cv-d1 RT-PCR products reveal that the mutant also fails to excise the downstream intron 7, despite the lack of any mutations in the splice sites or intron; this is predicted to add 71 erroneous amino acids and a stop codon after N758 within the DUF1943 domain.
Harbors (i) a genomic deletion (deletes K485-N565) and (ii) a splice error after codon for N758 which leads to a truncation.
In frame deletion of K485-N565. There is also a failure to remove intron 7 in the mutant despite the lack of any mutations in the intron.
Tracheal development appears normal in mutant larvae.
13% of mutants have no posterior crossvein (PCV), 36% have a floating PCV, 30% have a detached PCV, 21% are normal.
cv-d1/Df(3R)Exel8162 wings lack the posterior crossvein.
Homozygotes are viable and fertile, whose only visible external defects are disruption of the posterior crossvein and, occasionally, the distal tip of vein L5, and a slight variable reduction in wing size.
Large cv-d1 clones in the wing do not disrupt posterior crossvein development.
Posterior crossvein absent or reduced to an oblique fragment or bar parallel to L5. Anterior crossvein sometimes detached. RK2.
cv-d1 is rescued by cv-dUAS.Tag:V5/Scer\GAL4Tub.PU
cv-d1 is rescued by cv-dUAS.Tag:V5/Scer\GAL4Hml.PG
Scer\GAL4tub.PU- or Scer\GAL4Hml.PG-mediated expression of cv-dScer\UAS.T:SV5\V5 rescues posterior crossvein development in cv-d1 mutants.
