Deletion of part of Sec6 resulting from imprecise excsion of P{EP}Eip55EEP2021. The deletion location was estimated from the report that the Eip55EEx15 deletion extends from amino acid 397 of Sec6 to the 21st base pair of the 5' untranslated region of Eip55E. The deletion was mapped from the first base of Sec6 codon 397 to the insertion site of P{EP}Eip55EEP2021 in the 5' UTR of Eip55E.
Homozygous, sec6Ex15/Df(2R)PC4 and sec6Ex15/Df(2R)Ex212 larvae die from growth arrest at 96 hours after egg laying (AEL). The larvae are much smaller than normal, never being larger than wild-type larvae at 24 hours AEL.
Females containing homozygous germline clones do not lay eggs. Egg chambers form and exit the germarium in these females, but after stage 3, cell membranes are frequently absent between the germ line cells and ring canals are clumped together in the middle of a large, multinucleate cell. When individual cells can be distinguished in the mutant egg chamber, the oocyte is often mispositioned anteriorly.
