Deletion of homology domain 3 (HD3) and the C-terminus from endogenous lgs (premature stop codon results in a truncation allele).
14 base deletion in homology domain 3 (HD3) of lgs.
lgs2-8/lgs2-8 mutants exhibit severely delayed development, and the majority die in their pupal cases. Most adult escapers exhibit patterning defects, including proximal leg duplications, dorso-ventral polarity defects, and loss of sternites in the ventral abdomen. lgs2-8/lgs2-8 adults also show a decreased number of wing margin bristles (both stout bristles and chemosensory bristles) as compared to wild type. lgs2-8/+ mutants do not exhibit a significantly decreased hatching rate as compared to wild type.
lgs[+]/lgs2-8 is a suppressor of visible phenotype of armS56F.GMR
lgs[+]/lgs2-8 is a suppressor of eye phenotype of armS56F.GMR
The wing notch phenotype seen in Chie5.5/+ mutants is partially suppressed by the presence of lgs2-8/+.
lgs2-8/+ suppresses the rough eye phenotype seen in flies expressing armS56F.GMR.
