The number of primordial germ cells per larval ovary is reduced in mutants.
Ote[+]/Oteunspecified, Scer\GAL4VP16.nanos.UTR, tkvca.UASp has female fertile phenotype
Oteunspecified has female germline cell | larval stage phenotype, enhanceable by bocksunspecified
Oteunspecified has egg phenotype, suppressible by bockshs.α
Oteunspecified has egg phenotype, suppressible by bockshs.β
Oteunspecified has egg phenotype, non-suppressible by MAN1hs.PB
hal[+]/Oteunspecified is a non-enhancer of embryo | embryonic cycle 14 | maternal effect phenotype of CycB+t10
Ote[+]/Oteunspecified is a suppressor of female germline stem cell phenotype of Scer\GAL4VP16.nanos.UTR, tkvca.UASp
The egg laying defects of Oteunspecified females are rescued by expression of either bockshs.α or bockshs.β but not by expression of MAN1hs.PB.
The decrease in the number of primordial germ cells per larval ovary which is seen in Oteunspecified mutants is enhanced if the larvae are also mutant for bocksunspecified.
Introduction of one copy of Oteunspecified into females expressing tkvca.Scer\UAS.P\T under the control of Scer\GAL4nos.UTR.T:Hsim\VP16 results in some of the germline stem cell-like cells in the ovaries differentiating into cyst cells with highly branched fusomes. The germaria are attached with a long string of egg chambers and fertility is restored.
Females expressing tkvca.Scer\UAS.P\T under the control of Scer\GAL4nos.UTR.T:Hsim\VP16 in a homozygous Oteunspecified background have a phenotype that is similar to that found in Oteunspecified single mutants; the majority of germaria are either empty or contain only differentiated germ cells.
Oteunspecified is rescued by Otehs.PB
Oteunspecified is rescued by OteTag:FLAG
Oteunspecified is not rescued by OteΔTM
Oteunspecified is not rescued by OteΔLEM
The egg laying defects of Oteunspecified females are rescued by expression of Otehs.PB.
