The P-element in P{EPgy2}CTCFEY15833 harbors the y gene reporter adjacent to the 5' region of CTCF and the w gene reporter adjacent to the 3' region.
P{EPgy2}CTCFEY15833 is located 35bp downstream of the transcription start site of CTCF.
CTCFEY15833/CTCFEY15833 are viable, 10% of males and 20% of females have a wild type appearance, and show weak homeotic transformations (85% penetrance) of segments A7 and A6 towards A6 and A5: in males s6 (sternite of the sixth segment) has 0-4 bristles, t7 (tergite of the seventh segment) has 1 to several bristles (70%), or t7 is enlarged with a row of bristles (20%); in females s7 has 8-16 (average 13) bristles, occasionally 3 large bristles instead of 2, occasionally (<5%) s7 shape is transformed towards s6 and bristles lose orientation, and t8 has small bristles (20%).
CTCFy+1/CTCFEY15833 are viable and show homeotic transformations of A6-8: in males s6 has 0-6 (average 2.5) bristles, 15% have genitalia rotated by approximately 30[o], and t7 is well developed (100% penetrance); in females s7 has 9-14 (average 12) bristles, the shape of s7 is transformed toward s6 and bristles lose orientation (100%), and t8 has a row of small (100%) and several large (15%) bristles.
Homozygous adults appear healthy and are reasonably fertile.
Heterozygosity for CTCFEY15833 substantially reduces the maternal, but not paternal, imprint of the g gene on the Dp(1;f)LJ9 mini-X chromosome.
CTCFEY15833 mutants are viable and lack any visible phenotype.
CTCFEY15833 homozygotes and CTCFEY15833/Df(3L)0463 appear as wild-type.
CTCFEY15833/CTCFy+1 has homeotic phenotype, enhanceable by mod(mdg4)m9/mod(mdg4)GS23019
CTCFEY15833 has homeotic phenotype, enhanceable by mod(mdg4)GS23019/mod(mdg4)GS23019
CTCFEY15833 has homeotic phenotype, non-enhanceable by mod(mdg4)ul/mod(mdg4)ul
CTCFEY15833/CTCFEY15833 is an enhancer of homeotic phenotype of mod(mdg4)GS23019
CTCFEY15833, mod(mdg4)GS23019 has female semi-fertile phenotype
CTCFEY15833/CTCFEY15833 mod(mdg4)GS23019/mod(mdg4)GS23019 double mutants are viable, males are fertile but females have reduced fertility and flies show stronger homeotic transformations of abdominal segments 6-8 than in either single mutant: in males, genitalia is rotated by 90-180[o] (100%), s6 has 4-15 (average 8) bristles, t7 is well developed, t8 is separated from t9 and bears 0-2 bristles; in females, s7 has 10-15 (average 13) bristles and t8 always has a row of bristles.
CTCFEY15833/CTCFEY15833 mod(mdg4)ul/mod(mdg4)ul double mutant phenotypes are the same as in single CTCFEY15833/CTCFEY15833 flies.
CTCFy+1 mod(mdg4)GS23019 / CTCFEY15833 mod(mdg4)m9 show early pupal lethality (stage P1-4), with rare escapers that die at pharate adult stage and show strong homeotic transformations (A6-8): in males genitalia is rotated by 180[o], s6 has 4-11 (average 9) bristles, display a small cuticle structure with 1-2 bristles interpreted as s7, t7 is well developed, and t8 is well separated from t9 and bears rows of large bristles; in females phenotypes are as in CTCFy+1/CTCFEY15833 but t8 always has rows of large bristles.
