2.3kb deletion extending from -732bp to +1612bp (of Comer et al., Gene 118:171-179 ). Deletion removes P element, 5' regulatory sequences, the first four exons and most of the fifth exon of otu.
Deletion of approximately 2.6kb removing sequences both upstream and downstream of the parental P element insertion site. The downstream deletion endpoint is within the otu coding region.
2.3kb deletion extending from -732bp to +1612bp
Substantial proportion of ovarioles lack egg cysts.
QUI class allele.
QUI class allele. Phenotype is more severe than for deletion of the otu locus.
Shows a dominant interaction with ovoD2 and ovoD3 : more extreme mutant phenotype as assayed by reduction in number of egg chambers at stage 10 or further developed. There is no apparent correlation with strength of otu allele and its interaction with the ovo alleles.
