Mutation changes a basic residue located on the outer surface of helix I of the bHLH domain.
Heteroallelic das22/da7 females show reduced fecundity: though 3-5 day old females deposited normal numbers of eggs, production drops precipitously after that. Egg chambers fail to bud off from the germarium, there is no morphological boundary between the germarium and the vitellarium. Interfollicular stalks are missing. Egg chambers are often compound, and are necrotic in mature ovarioles.
das22/da7 has ovary phenotype, non-suppressible by Su(dalyh)26H626H6
Transheterozygotes with toc alleles exhibit ovary defects.
Isolated in a mutagenesis screen for dominant maternal enhancers of the da1 female-specific maternal effect. Phenotype in mutant ovaries is not allele specific, but represents a da- phenotype.
