Description

Transposon insertion site maps just downstream of Pm, between Pm and Pe.

gypsy element insertion.

Insertion of gypsy element.

Insertion of 10kb DNA gypsy element into Sxl. Insertion site is approximately 1.5kb distal to the site of P-element insertion in SxlfPb and 1kb distal to the site of insertion in Sxlf2.

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Survival of her1/hermat-1 and her1/her2 daughters not affected in the presence of SxlfLS.

SxlfLS/Sxlf1 shows wild type dosage compensation in run25 phenotype assay.

Able to initiate female development, but is defective in its ability to maintain the female developmental commitment and/or to elicit female sexual differentiation. It is masculinizing in homozygous mutant somatic clones induced by mitotic recombination and it causes the tissue in such clones to grow poorly; nevertheless, it has no dominant effect on the sexual phenotype of triploid intersexes, nor does it interact in a dominant fashion with mutations in da or sisA, both early acting positive regulators of Sxl. Fully complements Sxlf9, which appears to have a very different set of defects.

Fully complemented by Sxlfb, Sxlfc and Sxlf9. Homozygous germ cell clones do not develop into oocytes.

Statement
Reference

The viability of SxlfLS in female double heterozygous combination with fl(1)3535, fl(1)3546 or l(1)4343 is reduced.

Whereas female progeny heterozygous for Sxlf9 from snfe8H mothers are recovered less frequently than expected (65% relative viability), female progeny heterozygous for SxlfLS (defective in a later, maintenance/expression function) are fully viable.

The number of vitellogenic eggs produced by ovoD2 heterozygous females is increased by SxlfLS.

Comments

XO male clones generated at the larval stage in SxlfLS/+ females are only viable if they contain the SxlfLS mutation.

Complements Sxlf9, and partially complements Sxlf2 for female viability. Defective in Sxl Pm-mediated activities - the later functions governing maintenance and expression of the female-committed developmental state. Shows dominant masculinizing interactions with snf that are as strong as for a Sxl deficiency.

Nuclei of SxlfLS/Sxlf2593 larvae exhibit binding of the msl gene products to the paired X chromosomes but no Sxl binding.

Defective in the maintenance of Sxl function.
