12. e29-4 was used to screen a Drosophila total imaginai disc cDNA library (14). A group of two overlapping 1,2-kb cDNAs mapping to this region was recovered; a full-length kuz cDNA, NB1, was isolated from an embryonic cDNA library (14) with the small cDNA clones as probes. Detailed genetic and allelic information will be described elsewhere (J. Rooke and T. Xu, unpublished results), kuz cDNA GenBank accession number: U60591.

33. e29 4 ck FRT40A/CyO males. About half of the embryos from these crosses exhibited the severe neurogenic phenotype described (Fig. 1G). The other half of the embryos exhibited an intermediate neurogenic phenotype (Fig. 1F), the same phenotype observed in all embryos produced by mating with wild-type males. The extent of the neurogenic phenotype caused by the hypomorphic kuz alleles varies between the wild type and the kuz null, but the correlation between the neural hyperplasia and the epidermal hypotrophy was always observed.
