Deletion in the promoter region.
450 bp upstream of the cDNA start site deleted.
Deletion of 437bp of 5' flanking region starting at one end of (and including most of) the P element, leaving intact the major transcription start sites of otu.
Deletion of approximately 450bp, upstream of the cDNA start site, leaving the coding region unaltered.
437 bp deletion of 5' flanking region associated with the imprecise excision of P{}otu20.
The ring canals are devoid of fusome material and have inner rims that are indistinguishable from wild-type in homozygous females. Ring canals lacking both fusomes and an inner ring are also seen in these females and a number of ring canals that are a fraction of wild-type size are occasionally seen. Fusomes contain actin filaments.
Tumorous phenotype.
When XY flies are transformed into pseudofemales by traHsp83.PS, otuPΔ3/Y flies produce primarily agametic pseudoovaries at frequencies similar to that obtained with otu10 and Df(1)otu-PΔ1.
Tumorous ovaries.
Few quiescent ovaries though majority show tumorigenic phenotype with occasional mature cysts.
Homozygous females have tumorous ovaries, hemizygous females have quiescent ovaries.
One or two copies of otuhs.PN causes substantial morphological suppression but only partial suppression of sterility.
Oncogenic class (ONC) of otu allele.
ONC class allele. Phenotype less severe than otuPΔ6.
TUM class allele.
