Most egg chambers have 32 germline cells in mutant females.
A fraction of mutant egg chambers contain oocytes in which the karyosome has a less compact appearance than usual. Many egg chambers have undergone an extra germline division. 12.2% of eggs derived from homozygous females raised at room temperature have little or no dorsal appendage material, 73.9% have a single dorsal appendage and 13.9% have two dorsal appendages.
Egg chambers exhibit doubling of the number of nurse cells, or in a small number of cases the egg chambers are bipolar or have less than 15 nurse cells. Phenotype is more severe at 25oC. At 18oC in the egg chambers that have the normal number of nurse cells the oocyte nucleus is enlarged (highly polyploid) and has a roughened appearance.

encUU3 is partially rescued by encHsp83.PVB
encHsp83.PVB rescues the mitotic defect (extra germline division) seen in encUU3 females. The cold-sensitive ventralised egg defect (loss of dorsal appendage material) of encUU3 females is partially rescued by encHsp83.PVB.
