Amino acid replacement: P545L.
Mutation falls in the C-terminal ligand region of the dpp protein.
Nucleotide substitution: C2851T.

P545L
The @dpp[H91] mutation was reported as P545L but the reported nucleotide location and the position of the mutation in the context of the dpp amino acid sequence indicate that it was mapped to P555L.
Dorsal epidermis is entirely absent and the ventral denticle belts for circumferential rings over the entire cuticle.
Dominant lethality greater than 50%. Homozygous and transheterozygous embryos were examined with respect to 25 cuticular markers, results demonstrate a graded requirement for dpp along the dorso-ventral axis.
Blackman.
Based on considerations of degree of dominant lethality, dpp alleles can be placed in an allelic series. Progressing from weakest to most severe the series is: dppe87 < dppe90 < dpphr56 < dpphr4 < dpphr92 < dpphr27 < dpphr93 < dppH94 < dppH95 < dppH96 = dppH91 = dppH46.
