Description

G to A nucleotide substitution affecting the splicing donor site of intron 6, which is common to all known psq transcripts. This leads to partial retention of the intron in the mRNA and is predicted to cause the addition of 16 amino acids followed by a stop codon.

Nucleotide substitution: G?A.

Reported nucleotide change:

G?A

Comment:

G to A substitution in the splice donor to the third intron in the exons common to all psq isoforms is predicted to lead to translation of an additional 16 amino acids from the intron sequences followed by a stop.

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Homozygous psqrum mutant flies show no obvious defects, but embryos derived from homozygous psqrum females display terminal defects.

Embryos derived from psqfs1/psqrum mutant females display terminal defects.

Embryos derived from psq0115/psqrum mutant females display terminal defects.

Embryos derived from psqKG02404/psqrum mutant females display terminal defects.

Embryos derived from psqrev12/psqrum mutant females display terminal defects.

Embryos derived from homozygous psqrum females display a decreased number of pole cells compared with wild-type controls.

psqEP2011/psqrum females are sterile.

psqKG02404/psqrum females are sterile.

Embryos derived from females carrying homozygous germ line clones have strong terminal defects.

All embryos from homozygous psqrum tor12D double mutant females show terminal defects resembling the psqrum single mutant phenotype.

Embryos derived from homozygous psqrum cic1 double mutant females show terminal defects resembling the psqrum single mutant phenotype.

Expression of torScer\UAS.P\T.cGa under the control of Scer\GAL4nos.UTR.T:Hsim\VP16 suppresses the terminal phenotype of psqrum mutant embryos.

Comments

psqKG02404 fails to complement the female sterility of psqrum.

psqEP2011 fails to complement the female sterility of psqrum.

Expression of psqScer\UAS.P\T.cGa in the female germ-line under the control of Scer\GAL4mat.αTub67C.T:Hsim\VP16 rescues the psqrum terminal defects. The majority of the rescued embryos hatch and develop into fertile adults. Pole cell formation is also restored as a result of psqScer\UAS.P\T.cGa-expression in the germ-line.

Expression of psqScer\UAS.P\T.cGb in the female germ-line under the control of Scer\GAL4mat.αTub67C.T:Hsim\VP16 partially rescues the psqrum terminal defects. Those embryos that display rescued terminal structures hatch, but the others do not. Pole cell formation is restored as a result of psqScer\UAS.P\T.cGb-expression in the germ-line.
