Imprecise excision of the progenitor insertion, resulting in a deletion of approximately 2.5kb which removes sequences encoding tyf amino acid residues 79-449 and results in a frameshift and a premature stop codon.
Approximate boundaries of ~2.5 kb deletion that removes residues 79-449 of tyf.
Mutant flies show defects in locomotor activity rhythms; under 12 hour light/12 hour dark conditions, the morning anticipation of lights-on is reduced compared to controls, and the rhythm is less robust, resulting in weak (43% of flies are rhythmic) but long periods (25.6 +/- 0.8 hours) under constant darkness conditions.
tyfΔG14151 has abnormal locomotor rhythm phenotype, suppressible by perUAS.cBa/Scer\GAL4P2.4.Pdf
