Recombination between the progenitor insertions results in deletion of exons 2-14 of Oatp30B, including the predicted start codon, and only leaves a small portion of the open reading frame in the last exon.
Scer\FRT-mediated recombination between the two progenitor insertions has resulted in the deletion of the genomic sequence between them.
The larval nervous system develops normally in Oatp30BΔ2-14 mutants.
Mutants show abnormal larval migratory behaviour and crawl slower than wild type. Head sweeping behaviour is normal.
Oatp30BΔ2-14 is an enhancer of abnormal behavior phenotype of noloΔ4-12
Oatp30BΔ2-14, noloΔ4-12 has partially lethal - majority die phenotype
Oatp30BΔ2-14, noloΔ4-12 has female sterile phenotype
In contrast to either single mutant, noloΔ4-12 Oatp30BΔ2-14 double mutants show dramatically reduced rates of eclosion and female sterility. The ventral nerve cord is shaped normally in double mutants. Head sweeping behaviour in double mutant larvae is dramatically reduced compared to either single mutant.
