amorphic allele - molecular evidence
Mobilization of the P{EP}MESR6EP3142 element, resulting in a P{EP} insertion within Mkp3; the insertion is located in the 5' untranslated region, 721bp upstream of the translation start site.
increased cell number | adult stage (with Mkp3P3)
majority die during embryonic stage
partially lethal - majority die
visible | adult stage (with Mkp3P3)
eye photoreceptor cell | adult stage | increased number (with Mkp3P3)
wing vein | ectopic (with Mkp3P3)
Excision of the P{EP} insertion reverts the lethal mutant phenotype.
