Deletion of approximately 1.5kb which does not affect the function of neighboring genes.
dhdJ5 homozygous and dhdJ5/Df(1)JC70 transheterozygous females are sterile, as all eggs fail to hatch. After fertilization of dhdJ5-homozygous female-derived eggs, the male pronucleus chromatin fails to decondense (i.e. maintains a needle-shape), remains connected to the acrosome and, although still keeping the sperm aster in its vicinity, the release of the paternal centrioles is delayed, as compared to controls; the male pronucleus does not participate in development (i.e. does not replicate), leading to an effectively haploid syncytial embryo. The female pronucleus often fails to migrate towards the male pronucleus.
dhdJ5/Df(1)JC70 transheterozygous are also female sterile; after fertilization of their eggs, the male pronucleus chromatin fails to decondense (i.e. maintains a needle-shape).
Eggs from mutant mothers fail to complete meiosis. In 90% of embryos there is no sign of development and no evidence of a female pronucleus. Normal polar body structures are only rarely observed. Most common phenotype is that eggs contain a structure that resembles a nucleus arrested in anaphase. In the 10% of embryos that initiate development, there are defects in preblastoderm nuclear divisions. Divisions are not synchronous. Not all nuclei migrate to the periphery. 5% of embryos develop far enough to secret cuticle. Head involution fails during gastrulation. In embryos where head involution is partial, the most prominent defects are shortening of the lateralgraten and fusion of the ventral arms of the cephalopharyngeal skeleton.
dhdJ5 has female sterile phenotype, non-suppressible by Df(2L)ΔMst35B/Df(2L)ΔMst35B
dhdJ5 has lethal - all die during embryonic stage | maternal effect phenotype, non-suppressible by Df(2L)ΔMst35B/Df(2L)ΔMst35B
dhdJ5, dhd[+], Scer\GAL4elav.PLu is an enhancer of abnormal locomotor behavior phenotype of Hsap\GPR37UAS.cYa
Kdm5GLV21071, Scer\GAL4VP16.nanos.UTR, dhd+t4.3, dhdJ5 has female semi-sterile phenotype
Scer\GAL4VP16.nanos.UTR, Snr1HMS00363, dhd+t4.3, dhdJ5 has female sterile phenotype
Scer\GAL4VP16.nanos.UTR, dhd+t4.3, dhdJ5, mod(mdg4)HMS00849 has female semi-sterile phenotype
dhdJ5 has male pronucleus | maternal effect phenotype, suppressible by Df(2L)ΔMst35B/Df(2L)ΔMst35B
The female sterility of dhdJ5 homozygotes is not rescued by fertilization with Df(2L)ΔMst35B homozygous sperm. The male pronucleus chromatin defects observed upon fertilization of dhdJ5 homozygous-derived eggs is partially suppressed by fertilization with Df(2L)ΔMst35B homozygous sperm.
The reduction in climbing ability seen in 50 day old flies expressing Hsap\GPR37Scer\UAS.cYa under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu is made more severe by the addition of dhdJ5/+.
Female sterility can be rescued by dhdhs.PP, but not by dhdC31S.C34S.hs.
Mutant phenotype is not rescuable by paternally contributed wild type allele.
