Description

A P{lacW} insertion after amino acid 34 of sax-PA.

A P{lacW} element is inserted after amino acid 34 of sax-PA, just 5' to the GAC codon encoding amino acid 35 of the sax-PA open reading frame, and upstream from the ATG encoding methionine amino acid 36. The sax-PB open reading frame is predicted to remain intact.

P element insert just downstream of the putative signal sequence, after amino acid 36, in the same orientation as the sax transcript.

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Germaria from one week old females are smaller than wild type and contain only one or two stem cells. Older females may have none, though though cysts and egg chambers remain.

Female adult escapers are less viable than their heterozygous siblings. Rare embryos from these females show a phenotype similar to but milder and more variable than those from sax1/sax2 females. Homozygous embryos are lacking the second midgut constriction. Homozygous females often lack the anterior crossvein, and the eyes are small due to reduced numbers of ommatidia.

Reference

When saxP/+ females are crossed to dpphr4/+ males, most of the resulting dpphr4/+ progeny die.

When saxP/+ females are crossed to males with any one of the dpp[hr56]/+, dpp[hr90]/+ or dpp[e87]/+ genotypes, the resulting heterozygous dpp mutant progeny show poor viability.

saxP heterozygous mothers generate synthetic lethality when crossed to scwE1/+ males.

saxP heterozygous mothers generate synthetic lethality when crossed to scwE2/+ males.
