Insertion into the coding sequence, 181bp from the ATG codon.
Embryos derived from females carrying homozygous mip40EY16520 germline clones crossed to wild type males are able to hatch at a similar rate to wild type.
Most homozygous females are completely sterile, while a few give rise to one or two larvae after 7 days of egg laying.
Many nuclei within homozygous stage 10 egg chambers have a normal BrdU incorporation pattern (in four foci). However, within the same mutant egg chamber at this stage there are also nuclei that have BrdU incorporation spread throughout the entire nucleus.
Homozygous males are sterile. The mutant testes completely lack mature sperm and development appears to be arrested at the primary spermatocyte stage, prior to the G2-M transition.
mip40EY16520 is a suppressor of lethal | larval stage phenotype of lin-5293
mip40[+]/mip40EY16520 is a non-suppressor of lethal | larval stage phenotype of lin-5293
mip40[+]/mip40EY16520 is a non-suppressor of lethal | germline clone | maternal effect | embryonic stage phenotype of lin-5293
mip40[+]/mip40EY16520 is a non-suppressor of embryo | germline clone | maternal effect phenotype of lin-5293
mip40EY16520 rescues the lethality seen in homozygous and hemizygous lin-5293 larvae. Both male and female adult flies are seen at a similar frequency to controls. One copy of mip40EY16520 is not sufficient to rescue the lethality.
Embryos derived from females that carry homozygous lin-5293 mutant germline clones and are heterozygous for mip40EY16520 crossed to wild type males are unable to hatch, similar to when females are maternally mutant for lin-5293 alone.
