Imprecise excision of P{SUPor-P}KG07404 has deleted sequence from the P{SUPor-P}KG07404 insertion site into the insv coding region including all of the first exon and over half of the second.

insv23B mutant flies have no detectable macrochaete bristle phenotype.
Homozygous adults show a grossly normal patterning of the notum mechanosensory organs, although careful quantitation reveals that there are approximately 10% fewer notum microchaetae in the homozygotes compared to wild type. Homozygous and insv23B/insv23I adults consistently have a small number of double-socketed sensory organs on the abdomen, with the shaft cells having been replaced by socket cells.
FlyBase curator comment: The strong sensory organ defects reported in FBrf0183881 for insv23B mutant clones have subsequently been shown to be due to a second-site mutation in l(2)gl that is also present on the mutant chromosome (see FBrf0207678).
HE31, insv23B has visible | dominant phenotype, enhanceable by insbΔ1/Tes+t22/qkr54B+t22/CG14478+t22
insv23B is a non-suppressor of visible | adult stage phenotype of Scer\GAL4sd.PU, insbUAS.GFP
HE31, insv23B has macrochaeta phenotype, enhanceable by insbΔ1/Tes+t22/qkr54B+t22/CG14478+t22
insv23B has adult abdominal sensillum phenotype, suppressible by Nl1N-ts1
insv23B has tormogen cell | ectopic phenotype, suppressible by Nl1N-ts1
insv23B has trichogen cell phenotype, suppressible by Nl1N-ts1
insv23B is an enhancer of macrochaeta phenotype of HE31
insv23B is a suppressor of microchaeta | increased number phenotype of Nl1N-ts1
insv23B is a non-suppressor of wing phenotype of Scer\GAL4sd.PU, insbUAS.GFP
insv23B enhances the double-socket macrochaetae phenotype seen in HE31/+ mutants. The bristle loss phenotype is further enhanced by loss of insb, using insbΔ1, in which the function of CG14478, Tes and qkr54B has been restored using P{CG14478-Tes-qkr54B-mCherry} (which comprises of the CG14478T:Disc\RFP-mCherry, TesT:Disc\RFP-mCherry and qkr54BT:Disc\RFP-mCherry alleles).
No detectable macrochaetae phenotypes are observed in insv23B, insbΔ1 double mutant flies in which the function of CG14478, Tes and qkr54B has been restored using P{CG14478-Tes-qkr54B-mCherry} (which comprises of the CG14478T:Disc\RFP-mCherry, TesT:Disc\RFP-mCherry and qkr54BT:Disc\RFP-mCherry alleles).
insv23B does not suppress the wing defects seen when insbScer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4sd.PU.
insv23B is rescued by insv+t3.67
The mild reduction in the number of microchaetae that is seen on the notum of insv23B homozygotes is rescued by insv+t3.67.
The stock contains a second-site deletion uncovering l(2)gl (determined using complementation and PCR tests).
The insv23B mutant chromosome has been cleaned up to remove the second-site mutation in l(2)gl which was shown in FBrf0183881 to be present on the chromosome.
The sensory organ defects reported in FBrf0183881 to be due to the insv23B allele can in fact be accounted for by the second-site mutation in l(2)gl that is also present on the chromosome; the sensory organ defects seen in clones of the "insv[23B]" chromosome are completely rescued by expression of l(2)glScer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP under the control of Scer\GAL4neur-GAL4-A101.
