Wild-type flies carrying two copies of htsΔ100.αTub84B are completely fertile.
Wild-type flies carrying htsΔ100.αTub84B exhibit normal arrangements of both anterior/lateral and sub-cortical microtubules.
There is no evidence of defects in oocyte nuclear position in flies carrying htsΔ100.αTub84B.
Young, 1-4 day old hts1/hts10089 mutant females expressing two copies of htsΔ100.αTub84B display a number of egg chambers that are able to complete oogenesis, with most of the resulting eggs (~60%) able to support embryogenesis to at least the larval stage. Ovaries from these females contain developing egg chambers of various stages, and also egg chambers that have arrested prior to vitellogenesis. All egg chambers in these flies contain ring canals, even those that have failed to mature. As these females get older, the aborted egg chambers accumulate in the ovaries, resulting in an overall failure of oogenesis.
hts1/hts10089 mutant females expressing two copies of htsΔ100.αTub84B only rarely (~5%) contain ectopic actin aggregates.
