MbsEP3727 flies have mild wing defects. Embryonic development in embryos derived from MbsEP3727/Df(3L)th117 females mated to wild-type males is normal in most cases. However, about 25% of embryos derived from MbsEP3727/Df(3L)th117 females mated to Mbs3/+ males fail to hatch. About 80% of the embryos that fail to hatch have a "dorsal open" phenotype, and in the remaining embryos the pattern of dorsal hairs is disturbed along the dorsal midline. The leading edge cells fail to fully elongate during dorsal closure, with some remaining polygonal, in Mbs mutant embryos derived from MbsEP3727/Df(3L)th117 females mated to Mbs3/+ males. The epidermal cells located more ventrally elongate nearly normally. There is an abnormal accumulation of F-actin within the leading edge cells, while its distribution along the leading edge is essentially unaffected.
Mbs3/Df(3L)th117, MbsEP3727 has lethal | maternal effect | embryonic stage phenotype, suppressible by zip[+]/zipEbr

MbsEP3727, Scer\GAL4ey.3.5.Exel is a suppressor of eye phenotype of Scer\GAL4ey.3.5.Exel, kayFbz.UAS
Expression of MbsEP3727 suppresses the small eye phenotype associated with kayFbz.Scer\UAS, when both are expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4ey.3.5.Exel.
The lethality of Mbs mutant embryos derived from MbsEP3727/Df(3L)th117 females mated to Mbs3/+ males is suppressed by zipEbr/+.
Excision of the P{EP} element can revert the wing phenotype. Strength of phenotype: Mbs3 = Mbs03802 > MbsP2r31 > MbsEP3727.
