Amino acid replacement: ?1043term.
Has a premature stop codon prior to the ndl protease domain.
Mutation is after the potential glycosaminoglycan addition sites and the first block of LDL-receptor ligand-binding repeats and the protein therefore does not contain the protease domain.
Nucleotide substitution: G3400A.
Amino acid replacement: W1044term.

Homozygous ndl14 follicle cell clones are produced via Scer\GAL4e22c-mediated expression of FLP recombinase. In some egg chambers all follicle cells appear to be mutant, indcating that ndl14 mutants do not confer any defect in viability or growth.
Ventral follicle cells homozygous for the class I ndl14 allele do not perturb dorso-ventral patterning in the progeny embryos.
Class I allele. Affected embryos show early developmental arrest, failing to reach the cellular blastoderm stage. Eggs are very fragile, showing an "oozy eggshell" phenotype.
ndl14/Df(3L)CH12 is partially rescued by ndlGAG.S-A
ndlGAG.S-A rescues the fragile egg/early embryo arrest phenotype of embryos laid by ndl14/Df(3L)CH12 females, but does not appreciably rescue the dorsalization phenotype of the resulting embryos.
Class I allele.
