Heterozygosity for mtrmKG08051 results in elevated X (49.8%) and fourth (33.8%) chromosome nondisjunction in In(1)FM7/X ; svspa-pol females compared to controls. The level of X chromosome nondisjunction in heterozygous mtrmKG08051 females carrying two normal sequence X chromosomes is only 4.4%, while the frequency of fourth chromosome nondisjunction in these females is 26.0%.
Exo70KG08051, mtrmKG08051 has female sterile phenotype
Exo70KG08051, mtrmKG08051 has female sterile | recessive phenotype
mtrmKG08051 is rescued by Scer\GAL4VP16.nanos.UTR/mtrmUASp.cHa
The elevated X and fourth chromosome nondisjunction seen in In(1)FM7/X ; svspa-pol females heterozygous for mtrmKG08051 is largely rescued by expression of mtrmScer\UAS.P\T.cHa under the control of Scer\GAL4nos.UTR.T:Hsim\VP16; the rescued females show only 2.7% X and 7.1% fourth chromosome nondisjunction.
Precise excision of the P{SUPor-P} element reverts the high levels of nondisjunction and the recessive female sterility caused by the P{SUPor-P}exo70KG08051 insertion.
