P{lacW} insertion in an intron of α-Spec, upstream of dlt.
lethal - all die before end of larval stage | recessive
some die during larval stage | recessive
leg
Homozygotes die as first or second instar larvae. dltS059504/Df(3L)Aprt-126 animals die as second instar larvae. dltdre1/dltS059504 animals die as fully developed pupae with leg duplications.
dltdre1
Although the P{lacW}dltS059504 insertion is in an intron of α-Spec, it complements α-Specunspecified and Cdc37unspecified and fails to complement dltdre1 (the insert is probably in a regulatory element of dlt located in the α-Spec intron). Excision of the P{lacW} element reverts the lethality of P{lacW}dltS059504.
