Imprecise excision of P{lacW}HD179 creates a deletion from within the P insertion upstream of the translation initiation site, to codon 429, in the open reading frame.
Flies heterozygous for HP8 show highly penetrant L5 vein shortening phenotype and less penetrant L4 shortening.
Heterozygotes show loss of macrochaetae.
HP8 has wing vein | adult stage phenotype, enhanceable by CycGHR7/CycGHR7
HP8 has macrochaeta phenotype, non-enhanceable by dx24
HP8 has tormogen cell | ectopic phenotype, non-enhanceable by dx24
HP8 has trichogen cell phenotype, non-enhanceable by dx24
H99/HP8 has trichogen cell phenotype, suppressible by Scer\GAL4sca-537.4/numbUAS.cWa
H99/HP8 has tormogen cell | ectopic phenotype, suppressible by Scer\GAL4sca-537.4/numbUAS.cWa
HP8 has macrochaeta phenotype, non-suppressible by dx24
HP8 has tormogen cell | ectopic phenotype, non-suppressible by dx24
HP8 has trichogen cell phenotype, non-suppressible by dx24
HP8 is an enhancer of mechanosensory sensory organ phenotype of Hsap\APLP2::Hsap\APPUAS.Tag:MYC, Scer\GAL4sca-537.4
HP8 is an enhancer of mechanosensory sensory organ phenotype of Hsap\APPUAS.Tag:MYC, Scer\GAL4sca-537.4
the addition of numbScer\UAS.cWa driven by Scer\GAL4sca-537.4 to H99/HP8 flies rescues the double socket phenotype seen in the external sensory organs in these flies.
