Wild-type tam at the endogenous locus. Generated by re-integration of DNA into the attP site present in tamKO. Additional sequences inserted during the re-integration event are also present: 1. a loxP cassette containing the wGMR.PHb marker, upstream of tam, 2. a single attR site, downstream of tam.
tamRescue/tamRescue flies do not exhibit any obvious phenotype.
tamRescue/+ flies do not exhibit a significant increase in mtDNA mutation frequency, as compared to wild type.
tamRescue/tamH1038A and tamRescue/tamD263A mutants do not exhibit a significant difference in mtDNA levels, but offspring of tamRescue/tamD263A mothers exhibit a significant developmental delay.
