Amino acid replacement: H771K. Also includes a single base deletion that causes a frame-shift.
TC
There is an A to T substitution that leads to a H771L codon change. A single base deletion two bases downstream leads to a frameshift.
The number of sensilla basiconica is reduced to 28% of wild-type in lzg mutants.
Females rarely accept courting males and exhibit an unusually high rate of spontaneous ovulation.
Displays locomotor activity rhythm with an approximately 24h period.
The antennal funiculus is reduced in size in hemizygous males. The number of large and small basiconic sensilla on the antennal funiculus is greatly reduced, and the number of trichoid sensilla on the antennal funiculus is increased. The number of coeloconic sensilla on the antennal funiculus is normal. The density of the coeloconic and trichoid sensilla on the antennal funiculus is increased and the density of the small basiconic sensilla on the antennal funiculus is decreased compared to wild-type.
Homozygotes have rough eyes which are reduced in size. Red eye pigment is distributed over the entire eye. The tarsal claws are reduced. The spermathecae and pars ovariae are absent in homozygous females.
Females lack spermatheca and parovaria.
Eyes smaller than wild type; surface glossy from fused facets; a few normal facets also present; color dark blood red, bright red in combination with st or v. Larval Malpighian tubes slightly lighter than normal (Brehme and Demerec, 1942). Tarsal claws reduced. Spermathecae and parovaria absent from homozygous females, which have reduced fertility; lzg/+ females tend to have abnormal parovaria (Anderson, 1945). RK1. glossy; tarsal structures reduced or absent; spermathecae absent; parovaria absent more or less female fertile lzg/lzs provided probably the first recorded case of intra-allelic recombination (Oliver, 1940a; Oliver, 1940b).
Df(2L)M36F-S6/lzg, rntod has basiconic sensillum phenotype
Df(2L)M36F-S6/lzg, rntod has trichoid sensillum phenotype
As in lzg/Y mutants alone,the basiconic sensilla in rntod/rntot, lzg/Df(2L)M36F-S6 double mutants have been converted to trichoid sensilla. The at1 sensilla have been converted to at4 in both trichoid zones.

lzg maps to the glossy sublocus of lz.
