Introduces a deletion in the amino terminus of the btsz2 isoform (residues 501-1494).
Imprecise excision of P{PZ}btsz10418 has removed sequence encoding 991 aa of btsz isoform 2 protein, but does not alter the reading frame. Isoform 2 = GenBank:AY229970 ; exons 8 + 10-15.
btszK13-4 embryos that manage to cellularize and complete gastrulation show a somewhat disrupted epidermis. The shapes of the apical circumferences of invaginating salivary gland placode cells are irregular. At stage 14, the epidermis in the region where the placodal cells were located previously is disrupted and lost.
Approximately 26% of btszK13-4 homozygous embryos reach cellularisation and exhibit epithelial defects during gastrulation. Approximately 46% of btszK13-4/btszJ5-2 embryos exhibit epithelial defects during gastrulation.
Approximately 12% of btszK13-4/Df(3R)Exel6275 trans-heterozygous embryos show epithelial defects. Heterozygous btszK13-4/+ mutant males exhibit epithelial defects in 39% of cases.
