Description

The point mutation within the moi coding sequence (the upstream open reading frame (ORF) of a dicistronic transcript that encodes both moi and Tgs1) also affects Tgs1 (the downstream ORF of the dicistronic transcript); in the presence of a transgene encoding moi[+], homozygotes for the mutation show substantially reduced levels of Tps1 protein compared to heterozygotes. FlyBase curator comment: the moi1 allele represents the effect of the point mutation on the moi ORF, while the Tgs1m1 allele represents the effect on Tgs1.

Amino acid replacement: G45E.

Nucleotide substitution: G?A.

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Mitotic cells from the brains of homozygous larvae have frequent telomere fusions, with an average of 5.6 telomere associations per cell. Double telomere associations (DTAs), in which 2 sister telomeres fuse with another pair of sister telomeres are approximately 4-fold more frequent that single telomere associations (STAs), in which a single telomere associates with either its sister or a nonsister telomere.

Mitotic cells from the brains of moi1/Df(3R)P14 larvae show frequent telomere fusions, with DTAs being more common than STAs.

Mitotic cells from the brains of moi1/moiS096713 and moi1/moiCB02140 larvae show frequent telomere fusions.

peo1, moi1 double heterozygosity leads to telomeric fusions in larval neuroblasts.

The slightly reduced fertility of cavHipHop.T:Avic\GFP/Y;cav1/Df(3R)Exel6198 adult (cav1 rescue) males is moderately improved by combination with moi1.

The increased number of abnormal spermatid nuclei (showing chromatin bridges) characteristic for adult cavHipHop.T:Avic\GFP;cav1/Df(3R)Exel6198 males is strongly enhanced by combination with Df(3R)ms(3)K81-2 in homozygous or, to a lesser degree, in heterozygous state. Enhancement of the abnormal nuclear phenotype is also observed upon combination with single copy of HipHop1 as well as verS147910 but the phenotype is not aggravated further by combination with heterozygous moi1 allele.

Separable from: a second site lethal mutation on the chromosome.

The mutation in the moi1 mutant is in the upstream ORF (moi) of a dicistronic locus that encodes moi (upstream ORF) and tatl (downstream ORF). The telomere fusion phenotype of moi1 homozygotes and the telomere fusion and lethal phenotypes of moi1/Df(3R)P14 animals are fully rescued by a transgene containing only the moi ORF, indicating that the lesion appears to affect only moi and not tatl.
