Deletion of genomic sequences 1450-1503, only the first 158 amino acids are present followed by 59 new amino acids.
Class II fu allele, affects the carboxy domain of the protein by changing the open reading frame in the 5' region.
54bp deleted and replaced with one base (G)
G
strong wing phenotype - veins L3 and L4 fused all along length; intermediate viability phenotype - ratio of the number of fused flies to wild type in fu/+ X fu/Y is 0.5-0.75; strong fecundity phenotype - ratio of eggs laid by fu/fu versus fu/+ sisters is 0-0.1; strong maternal effect on segmentation - percent of embryos with all segments entirely duplicated is 70-100%.
Su(fu)LP, fu55 has wing blade anterior compartment phenotype
Su(fu)LP, fu55 has leg anterior compartment phenotype
Su(fu)LP, fu55 has haltere anterior compartment phenotype
When in combination with Su(fu)LP heterozygotes individuals die as pupae. Adult escapers display wings, halteres and legs that have duplication of structures in the anterior compartment and shortening along the proximal-distal axis. Embryos derived from heterozygotes with Su(fu) mutants display a segment polarity phenotype: thoracic denticle belts are absent, last two rows of abdominal denticle belts are absent and a mirror image duplication of anterior rows of abdominal denticle belts.
Class II mutation based on interaction with Su(fu)LP, suppression of embryonic and adult phenotype but display an additional phenotype.
