A small deletion of 5 bp (nucleotides 3959163-3959167) and an insertion of an adenine at position 3959174 (release 5.45).
5 bp deletion at 2R:3959163..3959167 in R5 coordinates.
lig1 mutant eyes, generated by eyFLP/FRT-mediated mitotic recombination, are bigger than controls.
Mutants transheterozygous with ligPP1 or Df(2R)Exel7094 die in an early pupal stage forming long and slender pupae.
All cell types differentiate are structured normally, without cell size defects, in lig1 mutant ommatidia within mosaic compound eyes.
lig1 mutant eyes, generated by eyFLP/FRT-mediated mitotic recombination, generally show increased ommatidial number, but in some cases this is equal or even lower than in controls. (Ommatidial size is unaffected.) Mutants raised on food with reduced yeast content display eyes with a constant increase in ommatidial number, while mutants raised on increased yeast content show more pronounced variability in ommatidial number. This diet-dependent eye phenotype is not dependent on amino acid levels or developmental delay.
Diap1EP3723, Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI, lig1 has ommatidium | increased number | somatic clone phenotype
BacA\p35UAS.cHa, Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI, lig1 has eye | somatic clone phenotype
Animals with lig1 mutant eyes over-expressing BacA\p35Scer\UAS.cHa via eyFLP, Actin-Flp out-Gal4/FRT-mediated mitotic recombination, die as pharate adults except a few escapers that display massively overgrown eye structures.
